That man - I have been imagining all sorts of punishments for him. No excuse .

they could have opened the door- poor Arnie. I hope the offender is found!

Hi - no experience here, but I agree with what you said . Our local town has a few maremmas - they are often listed as missing/escaped /found wandering . I suspect they are being kept as you said, for a half dozen sheep - or as pets and are bored/unsettled. A large poultry farm has them, and they do well - they have a HUGE flock to guard, decent fencing, and seem to be very effective against foxes/roaming dogs. Out where we are no one has them , everyone uses 1080

Lucky boy!! Bet his owners are over the moon

Poor woman - and poor old poodle

Each time there is a dog/person attack, I think just how frightening it must be

Thanks for that Some absolutely wonderful photos A lovely way to start a Sunday .

T - you have such a vast amount of experience and wisdom to share - thank you . I agree that police officers are entitled to draw a weapon in the case of a serious/fatal mauling ...what else can they do ?

What a great cat I am glad his way of life is helping his 'Mum' with her mental health .

Oh Dear Seems like there was an altercation between the dogs , and he reacted with a knife That poor family .... Hope the other man's dog is ok ....

Glad the truth has been found.

Poor little darling Those two should have received harsher sentencing .

Retired- home all day listening to a yapping chi .....guns everywhere - surprised it didn't happen earlier. Poor little dog

No!! She would have very short nails after running around on dirt/stones , I would think......

exactly.

May I just say "Poor Woosie" in her frantic flight!!

Poor, poor dog How horrific.

Doing what her ancestors were bred for ......but with an Oops ! Glad she was rescued safely - what an effort!!

Wow! Survival of the fittest, I would guess - but how strong and healthy do those little ones look? That was interesting .

Very true, T it has changed so much - and dogs are more and more unused to different situations/kept from learning how to "dog" safely.
