HuskyDrake

Your experience was horrific, HuskyDrake and as StaffyLuv says, your heart will be broken many times again by thinking of this. And I imagine that you can think of little else at the moment. One of my dogs, a tiny little Papillon X Chihuahua, was killed on Monday 22 September 2008 between the hours of 4pm and 5pm, I still think of him every day. I guess what saves my sanity is that I didn't witness it as I'd dashed our briefly to do some shopping. I cannot imagine the horror you experienced and will relive many times, HuskyDrake. Feel sorry for your lost too. Hope these awful thing never happen again, for both of us.

Just saw you experienced similar things like me. Hope your dogs make a quick recovery. and hope these awful thing never happen on you again.

Thank you when the police want to send my husky to the vet but have no item to carry my dog. My neighbour and I made a simple stretcher with board and blanket. But the police said the dog is too heave to be moved on the board, as only one male police there and others are female. To be honest, my dog is really too heavy for woman. You know what happen, my dog somehow understood us and walked and lie down on it. That was the last thing he did for me. Whenever I recall this, I feel my heart was broken again.

Me either. The property manager spoke to my husband through the phone. She said, they are just dogs and very hard to control. Shit words always.

Hi guys, We spoke to the manager couple days before that we want to these people move out. I received a letter from the property manager of my neighbour's house yesterday, said they contacted CTTT, but then confirmed that under Tenancy Act,no condition of the lease have been breached. Therefore, there are no ground to terminate the lease agreement. This morning I did some research and contacted CTTT by myself, they gave me different answer. They said even they did not breach the lease agreement, but they did breach this. Residential tenancy In NSW the Residential Tenancies Act 2010 and the Residential Tenancies Regulation 2010 applies to most residential tenancies, including private tenancies, public housing and community housing tenancies. It regulates all aspects of these tenancies, for example, the contents of tenancy agreements and procedures for resolving disputes. Under the Act and also contained in the terms of the tenancy agreement, a tenant has certain obligations towards neighbours and others. The tenant must not: *cause or permit nuisance *interfere with the ‘reasonable peace, comfort or privacy of the neighbours’. A breach of either of these terms can result in eviction (Residential Tenancies Act 2010, sections 51 and 87; Residential Tenancies Regulation 2010, Schedule 1 Terms 15.2 and 15.3) . http://www.legalanswers.sl.nsw.gov.au/guides/neighbours/property_rights.html What do you think guys? I thought I could not ask them move out but this information gives me hope. Do you thing my case is suitable for this circumstance?

Assuming HuskyDrake's profile is correct and she is in NSW - the Council could issue a $220 fine for the escape and a $550 fine for the attack. They could take it further if they wanted and actually issue a court attendance notice for the attack rather than just a fine - in that case the magistrate can issue up to the maximum penalty which from memory for a dog that hasn't been declared dangerous previously is $11k or thereabouts. If it had been declared previously (doesn't sound like it had been) the penalty is up in the 40k mark or thereabouts from what I remember. They'd need pretty robust evidence to go to court but based on the fact that it sounds like the police attended etc and that it happened in the backyard of the OP you would think they'd have plenty. The city council has identified that this dog was not a dangerous, even the bull dog owner told us the bull dog nearly killed another dog before. As it is not a dangerous dog, the fine would not go for very high.

We spoke to the landlord, but she asked us to talk to the real estate. We did, but the property manager send us a letter yesterday Said they contacted CTTT, but then confirmed that under Tenancy Act,no condition of the lease have been breached. Therefore, there are no ground to terminate the lease agreement.

I suggest you take another look at your post #25 and apologise to HuskyDrake. Don't be upset, I don't mind what he said. :) thank you very much

I suggest you take another look at your post #25 and apologise to HuskyDrake. I just reread it and I don't believe I have anything to apologise for. If you think that was "boots and all" then so be it. I think it was very, very far from that. Hi that is fine, you just want to discuss things. Thanks anyway

Thanks, will let you guys know the result.

We will, for sure. We will see a lawyer on Wednesday, then decide what to do next.

A person of small stature and not a lot of strength ..shocked/scared, and with two strong dogs in a serious fight ? I don't blame you, Huskydrake .If you were not 100% certain of how to separate fighting dogs .. you were risking your own self . I agree with you Perse. We are forever being told not to get between 2 fighting dogs. I'm sure she did what she could. I get the impression English isn't her first language, perhaps she isn't able to express the emotions and state of mind she felt when she describes asking for help from the neighbours. Agreed Perse, I think some people are being a little too judgemental here and need to back down a little. I weigh a measly 47 kg and some large breeds can get up to 60 kg. I'd be absolutely hopeless in trying to stop a dog fight especially if it was between 2 large powerful dogs, I could not even IMAGINE being in that situation, I'd be absolutely desperate. OP, I feel for you so much and I am so terribly sorry you lost your beautiful dog Thanks

I did not see it but both police and vet told us the bull dog was died.

English is not my first language But I think I expressed clear about what was happen to the police, neighbour and others. I did not call for help from my neighbour immediately after things happen because I do not want to anyone got injury. I just expected the police can come quick or the owner of the bull dog can come back quick. Until I found out things getting worse, then to ask the help from my neighbours, not the bull dog owner.

Thanks Your words do comfort me a lot.

Thanks for everybody's words here. No matter what you guys said I do appreciate these.

Yes, we will do this, not just for ourselves but for my dog.

What was happened is I heard some strange noise in my garden at that day, then I came out and saw the bull dog already was in my back yard and was biting my husky. I got shocked and this bull dog looks crazy, then I immediately knocked my neighbour's door but no one home. Then I rang the landlord who used to be my neighbour and want her to contact her tenant to stop their bull dog, as I was so scared of their crazy dog. Through this phone the landlord of the next door told me that her tenant should not have dog here and she asked me to call the police. She also said she will contact the agent. After I made these phone call I started seeing there were blood everywhere. My husky was trying to find a place to hide but it make the things worse, because the bull dog was biting him at a conner and he has no where to go. Then my two neighbours help me to separate the bull dog from my husky and police coming. Police helped me to send my husky to the vet. However my husky could not make it and he passed away at that night. I can imagine how terrifying that must have been but I'm a bit shocked that you took the time to go next door and make phone calls instead of helping your dog. I am very angry of myself about this. I did try to use something to hit the bull dog but it is useless. And at that time my husband was not home and I am not strong enough to separate them. I keep blaming myself about this if I can figure out a way to deal with them Maybe my dog would not die.

My dog was just killed by my neighbour's dog who jumped over the fence to my yard. Please talk to your neighbour ASAP before something happen.

That's true. If my dog was died because of illness or just so old, I can accept it. But he died in such way which makes me very very very angry. And the owner of the bull dogs spoke to my friend that she felt so sorry about the whole thing and she did not know her dog can jump that high. Shit words! I already told them their bull dog can jump very high couple days ago, but they did not pay any attention to this!

Yes, it is quite difficult for my husband and I. Some people suggested us to move to another house, but it is not an easy thing because we just purchased this place for 1.5 years and still have much loan need to pay off. Thanks for your words.

Thanks I will try to contact them see what they can do

Thanks, we will try our best to claim more compensation from them.
