Awwwww

I feel so bad for the little kids who were watching it all unfold . of course I feel sick for the three dogs as well .

yes !

oh My Lord The kids were watching, for heaven's sake !! I will not post video link . Pixelated , but obvious. The two larger dogs each grabbed an end of the little pug .... The owner of a pit bull beaten to death with a cricket bat while it fought with another animal says her family is devastated by the "preventable" loss. ACT Police are assisting the ACT Government in an investigation into the incident, which was caught on CCTV. the drama began on Thursday when her two dogs ran out of her north Canberra home as her children greeted a neighbour. "She came over, had the little pug behind her, and the kids had opened the door and the dogs had got out the front door," she said. "They just started playing tug-of-war with the pug. "The kids had separated the dogs apart from it. All they had to do is grab the other dog by the collar … and put the dogs in the house." The man, who did not own any of the dogs involved, then intervened with a cricket bat, repeatedly striking the two larger dogs with force, in an apparent attempt to break up the fight. After both dogs released the pug, he continued to swing the bat. One of the beaten animals was killed. Ms De Alvia, whose children were watching on during the incident, said she did not recognise the man, and was unsure whether he lived in the area. "There was a hose that was right next to them that they could have used," she said. She said her 12-year-old son had been an emotional mess since the incident. "He's not doing well," she said. "[Karma] had never been violent … she just want to cuddle all the time and slept with me every night. "This was totally unnecessary." Neighbour Jenifer Hanson who witnessed the incident said she was yelling at the man to stop. "It felt like it went for about 12 minutes but it would have happened in a minute," Ms Hanson said. "It still doesn't feel real." Police were called following the incident, and a spokesman for ACT Policing said officers were helping the ACT Government's Domestic Animal Services in its investigation. 'Darned if you don't and darned if you do' PHOTO: Ms De Alvia's other dog Pumbaa the Staffordshire bull terrier was also involved in the incident. (Supplied) Canberra dog trainer Bruno Grutzner said the issue of whether dog owners and bystanders should intervene in a fight was controversial. "You're going to be darned if you don't and darned if you do," he said. "If you do not interfere your animals are going to get hurt … and if you do interfere you are most likely to be injured as well." Mr Grutzner said in some circumstances startling dogs would stop them fighting. "If you do decide to go in there, you've got to go in hard," he said. "There is the possibility for these dogs to get out of this frame of mind and take note of what has just happened and possibly get a fright." But he said bystanders who did not know the fighting dogs should be particularly wary of getting involved. "I would always say caution first, safety first, don't interfere," he said. "As a newcomer it's highly likely that these two dogs will turn towards you." Limited legal rights for bystanders Criminal lawyer Paul Edmonds said minimal force should be used if a person interferes in a dog fight. "If you are in a public park and another dog attacks your dog ... you are legally entitled to use all reasonable and necessary force to get that dog off your dog, if that prevents that dog from attacking a person," he said. But Mr Edmonds said the law would only give very limited protection to a bystander. "Unless that bystander has some legal right in relation to either animal involved," he said. "The safest thing would be to stay out of that incident."

what a worry - poor old girl ( and you ) It sounds a bit like it to me ....whichever way it goes though, she is home, is reasonably content ..and you know 'that' decision has probably come closer ...

My Pudden is still with me as I would not rehome him, due to unilateral deafness and micropthalmia . He is now a bit over 2 - much better at LOOKING rather than just listening.. for ages he would totally misinterpret sound direction !
