In case you weren't aware, Bindi did break out of the truck and was injured and suffered terribly but is doing well now, and was the 2nd dog in a short space of time to escape from the same transport company vehicle. Bindi's case is well publicised while the other has not been given as much air time... and it was actually the new owner who disclosed all the details of Tyson on her own facebook page...

I do know the circumstances of the 'attack' and YES I do know it was a bite and not an attack, sorry I was quoting the words used by the majority of people on this thread... I am also not quite sure why it's ok to lay the blame on a group who did temp test the dog and the actual owner of the dog has also stated quite clearly that the bite occurred after her son hit the dog with a piece of wood... I am simply asking why should all of the people here put the blame on one group, a group who is clearly NOT at fault with this unfortunate accident. I am just disgusted at the lengths that some will go to for point scoring when we are all here for the same purpose... As for the comments I have made relating to PL and the people behind that group of volunteers?? I am and always will be under the impression that ALL volunteers are representatives of who they work for and as such should promote that business and it's services or products as the company and therefore wouldn't have any legal right to allow or refuse others to use the photos/videos for promotion purposes.. I do fully respect that the person who writes up the temp notes is using their own words but again, as a volunteer nothing is really owned by an individual but is by the company who is the 'employer' if you like has the authority to allow permission to whoever it likes... I too have volunteered and that was my experience, so please forgive me for mistaking that the pound IS the rightful owner of any photo/video or assessment made on their behalf by a volunteer and therefore are the only ones who can refuse permission and indeed allow permission for use ... and from where I sit, the only ones who suffer from this stupidity are the ones who have most at stake, the precious animals sitting in pounds on death row because of irresponsible, ignorant owners in the first place.... So please, stop with the deadly games and concentrate your time and efforts into saving more animals, they need us to stick together to make the difference for them... You are going on about things that have not been said, now bringing Pound List into it again. Does anyone that does not want to be associated with pound rounds have to be attacked? As they have taken the photographs they want off here and pass it off as their own and ask for money or to contact pound rounds on the bottom of the photo's. Pound List are not associated with one rescue group, it is voluntary the position of meeting the dogs, temp testing and photographing. Pound Rounds talks of going to the pound and doing all this so why are they unable to do their own thing and not get so upset? Talking about mob mentality,anything not for the group is deleted so it looks like everyone has to agree with each other or it is a crime. I find it mildly amusing that people who are actually concerned for animal welfare are accused of not caring because things are questioned and your accusations are suppose to be acceptable. A lot of what has been written is fact and yours is emotionally driven and little fact to back it up. A dog bit a child from what I have read (not attacked - two very different things) the owner of the dog disclosed where the dog came from, no one else.

I am both appalled and disgusted by what has transpired since this tragedy was reported earlier... the mob mentality on DOL that I have just read is disgusting, vile, feral mentality that has no respect for facts, as for PL who are claiming all sorts of nonsense, well WTF>> are they not taking photos, videos, and taking notes to save lives?? obviously not from their BS copyrighted crap, how can anyone who does that retain credibility?? who is responsible enough to research the answers, ask the relevant questions of the people who are in the situations, obviously no one who comments on DOL for PL that's for sure ... nor do they show any respect for a woman, who not only has an injured son, but has also been through one of the most traumatic experiences of her life and then had the most gut wrenching decision to make about a loved family pet... there was NO malice from the dog, there was NO indication AT ALL PRIOR that the dog had any issues with humans before this... the circumstances surrounding the attack are made very clear by Lisa, and at no time did she describe it as a mauling or anything of that nature... so please as much as this tragedy is horribly sad, spare a thought for Lisa who is suffering doubly because Harley was her much loved and adored family pet who just really wanted to be loved by her and her family... why then must this tragedy be portrayed as something it clearly is not?? stop blaming the groups for allegedly not temp testing, this could have happened with any dog, from any pound, from any breeder, from any rescue group, does that mean that ALL rescue must stop now?? For those of you who claim to have read the details of this case, you may want to revisit some posts/replies to get the facts accurate. the explanations have been given for the attack, let's all get back to rescuing the precious dogs that all deserve our help and love...
