One of my neighbours is looking after a yorkie and westie for some friends. Yesterday is was a hot sunny day so she ( like alot of the neighbours) had her front door open. She was playing with the dogs in the living room with her 10yrs daughter when a staff come running in grabbed the westie and started shaking it. The lady was screaming and trying to get the staff off. The staff then run out the door where its owner was calling him holding a lead in he's hand. The lady picked up the westie and run in the street screaming for help. The staff then come running back and ripped the westie out of her arms. He had the westie by the throat and it took 3 grown men to get the dogs jaw open to releast the westie. someone picked the staff up and run it round to its owners house. With in 5 mins the staff was back in the street going for kids. Everybody got their kids indoors and called the police and dog warden. By the time the police turned up the staff was back indoors. The police wanted to know if the staff had bit a child. Well he didnt so the police said they would get the dog warden up then drove off. The dog warden turned up and said they have no power to take the dog unless its in the street.
So looks like the owners of the staff have got away with it. We have called the rspca as they removed 15 cats from the property just before xmas leaving them with 2 cats and the dog. The dog is under weight and as hair loss all over its body. With anyluck the rspca will take the dog as now everybody is scared.
The westie and the yorkie are now at the vets suffering from shock ( the yorkie wasn't attacked just terrified) they cant operate on the westie until it comes out of shock. So should find out today if its going to be ok.
People should relise that bull breeds are bred for fighting. They are lovely dogs if looked after, trained etc. Its stupied prats like this family that give the bull breeds a bad name. Hope they rot in hell.

God thats terrible. Owners like that disgust me. If you dont care enough to learn how to look after and control your pets, you should not be allowed to have them. If RSPCA took the cats, why did they leave them with the other 2 cats, and dog? Now the owner of the Westie n Yorkie have to pay for pet treatment n suffer the worry of the pet dying or being traumatised by it all. Makes me sick

ffs thats awful the police can investigate as well its a dangerous dog clearly and so not like a staffie so proves its the scum owner there was enough witness,es if i were you i would call the police and make a complaint abut how it was handled and the dog itself and the owner it is against the law to allow the dog out off a lead as well it needs your whole street to ring them complain constantly this dog will hurt a child and will be sooner not later the next time its out you could also pick it up and take it to the nearest police station say you found it loose cant trace the owner oh and get all the street to call the rspca they will have to listen then shame you cant go sort the owner out as well pfft they give staffies a bad name def
fingers crossed the westie makes it shock can and does kill animals

I was out shopping in town yesterday so missed it all. My daughter ( who lives nextdoor) phoned me up and told me. She said the women was screaming at her to help but shes 5 mths pregnant so wouldn't do anything. Her husband was one of the men who got the staff off. Everybody refused to hit the dog so in the end they put their hands in the dogs mouth to get it off. I'm sorry but if it was one of my dogs I would of stabbed the dog, or beat it to death. Anything to get it off. My daughter was really upset about it like the rest of the neighbours. My daughter also had her front door open yesterday. Shes also got 3 kids under 4, 3 cats and a litter of 4 kittens. She said she will never leave her door open again. As it was only 2 doors away from her that it happened. Hope the owner of the dogs sue them.

That's awful poor little dogs they must have been terrified. I agree with Dee get the neighbours to kick up a big fuss. Why do people think it's ok to walk their dogs off lead in the street. I look after my neighbours dog (see my thread my friend Dexter. He is a lovely dog but they insist on walking him to the car off lead and they take him out with them to put out and bring in the bins. A couple of weeks ago he ran into someones house, luckily the dog from this house was out on a walk otherwise Dexter would have found himself in trouble. They walk him past my back gate (and 2 others with dogs) 3 or 4 times a day when it's bin day and Dylan and the other 2 dogs go mad everytime he goes past. I think it is just so irresponsible and a case of look at my dog he will walk by my side off lead just showing off. The other dogs are just protecting their territory and one day one off them may just get out and have him.I hope these little dogs are soon recovered and the Staffie is removed from these irrisponsible owners. I know from experience what lovely dogs Staffies are in the right hands. I have also had a bad experience with one I rehomed from the dogs home. He had an obvious hatred of other dogs and attacked two dogs in the 10 days that we had him unfortunately the dogs home put him to sleep. A beautiful 18 month old Staffie now dead due to the irresponsible previous owners. It makes me so mad.

Totally agree with Dee.
That is sooo bad so now kids, adults, dogs and cats are not safe in the street or in your own home.
I'm really starting to question wat the use of the police really is they really don't know how to do there jobs starting to think the public would do a better job.
I was always brought up to not take the law in my own hands well i've gave the police plenty of chances and from now on i will be taking the law in me own hands as this thread just proves the police don't give a f**k but then again we know how much the police really care about dogs don't we just look at the officer that left his dogs in the car.
Anyway back to this thread soz about the rant the owner of the dog really does need to have all the pets took of them and banned from having them plus they need a right good smacking to if i lived near you pompey i would be happy to lend a fist.
I hope the doggys, owners and all the innocent neighbours are all ok and getting over the shock and pompey hope your daughters ok as the last thing she needs right now is shocks like that.

My daughter come in this morning, she said she couldn't sleep lastnight as she couldn't stop thinking about it. She said the woman was screaming but my daughter was just froze to the spot. Her hubby did help but my Emily couldn't move. Also 2 of my granchildren were standing behind their mum so they witnessed it. She said all she kept thinking is what if he turned on the kids. As she was froze could she had stopped it attacking the kids. I think the people round here will do something about it. Once people get over the shock they won't let it rest. I have allways had respect for the police until about 5 years ago. I think this is to much paperwork thats why they didn't do anything. I'm sure as the dog wasn't on the lead then he broke the law. They could do something if they want to.

how sad, my sister had the same problem 3 weeks ago, she was walking both her mini jack rustles to the shop and a large mastiff type cross came running at her in the street, she tried to pick both her dogs up but sadly the mastiff got hold of Bob and ripped it out my sisters arms, sadly not many people on the street were willing to try and stop it and after a good few minutes the dog released Bob and ran back home! the owners were too busy drinking in their front garden!!! sadly Bob died 2 days later after going through two operations to try and save her. when my sister informed the police they told her to contact the dog warden,when she contacted them they came out but had the attitude its nature for dogs to fight!! which may be true but there was no fight,the dog just ragged Bob like a piece of meat, after a few days the dog warden did call to the owners house but what a surprise they say they no longer have the dog and gave it away without getting new owners details??!!
so sadly your not alone my family have been to hell and back over losing Bob, she was 11 years old and was like a child to my sister yet we get told that its normal nature?!

Susie.... no offence but did you take your dog to training lessons?or have you tried to take him now he has problems? just sounds from your post that you are just wanting to pass him on so he is someone elses problem! a good owner works through their dogs problems as if owned since a puppy the owner is the one to blame for most problems due to lack of training! what a shame that your boy is just getting passed on as a problem for someone else to deal with, bit like you would with a second hand car,people should really think before getting a dog if they cant cope,maybe get a cat!!!!

Sorry Susie just checked and it was someone else. Hope you can get your dog trained so you don't have to rehome him.

Skyes mum thats awful I feel for your sister and family. The laws definately need changing people must feel so helpless in these situations, and now I suppose the problem will be passed to some other unknowing owner if they have rehomed it. Susie you have just got a new puppy haven't you.Wouldn't you have been better spending your time getting the older dog trained rather than spending your time on a new puppy. Don't mean to be rude just my opinion but why get a new puppy when you already have a dog that you can't control and will you be able to train the new puppy or when you can't handle it will you be looking for a new home for that one too. Sorry just had to say.

lol, sorry had to look, susie....you have just got a border collie???
just a little bit of info from a border collie site.....
As a general rule, Border Collies are not easy pets, and typical pet owners often find them too intense and energetic. Border Collies are usually "workaholics." They are happiest when they have a job to do, whether that job is herding, obedience, agility, or any of the other active occupations and dog sports they excel at. If these dogs are not given a "job", they are very likely to become extremely destructive. Hanging out around an apartment or house being the "guard dog" isn't enough of a job for a Border Collie!
did you know what type of pup you were going to see this time as i understand last time you didnt realise what type you were buying,did you read up on this breed?just noticed you have your other dog up for sale, do you think your collie will be trained or rehomed in a few months like your other dog?

Thing is with Border collies they never calm down. I have a border collie x lab. He's 15 and still a complete mental case. It was ok when I was younger but I just couldn't handle a dog like that now. He was also a rescue dog. He was 2 when I started fostering him. They had lost track on how many homes he had before he come to me. But with one look into the big soft brown eyes and Shep stayed. 13 years on hes still here.
