Ben and Jerry Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Poor Heidi. I hope they can get the support they need to save her. a stranger approached suddenly wanting to pet her. If only people would learn to ask before approaching strange dogs wanting to pat them. Poor dog does nothing wrong and may pay for it with her life .

AussieDog Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 So sad, why can't humans accept sometimes accidents really do happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizT Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 So sad, why can't humans accept sometimes accidents really do happen? Indeed, who hasn't coped a fair wack in the face from some clutzy dufus dog. It certainly does illustrate the need for people to take care around strange dogs and to give them some space and time while enquiring about the dog and getting permission to touch the animals. Poor girl was probably so happy and just wanted to say "Hello". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeimMe Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 People are so damned litigious. It seems so odd that a person who supposedly loved dogs so much that he'd rush up uninvited and startle the poor thing with in his enthusiasm would also feel justified in condemning the same animal to death for accidentally injuring him. What an arse. She looks like a beautiful dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LizT Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I've had a really good concussion (diagnosed) from an accidental collision between labrador skull and my cheekbone .. my fault . I was scraping bot eggs off my horses leg one day and then bang, I must have worked my way in front of him without realising it and he lifted his leg and POW, head and knee collision. I remember waking up on the ground, him still standing there quietly nuzzling my hair, and me with a huge lump on my forehead and a whopper of a headache. My own stupid fault.

westiemum Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Yes very sad. I hope the petition is successful. I think there's a lesson here for all of us even though Australians are a little less litigious. And that is when at all possible to stop people who approach your dog. For example, my westies are very 'attractive' to children who often run towards them. I've got into the habit of yelling 'stop' at the child and putting my hand up. I then discuss with the parent what I'm doing and most importantly why I'm doing it, before said child is allowed to approach. Most parents appreciate my efforts. And even then it still makes me nervous. There but the grace of dog go all of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dust Angel Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Signed and shared on FB I truly don't understand some people, obviously the guy liked dogs or he wouldn't have gone to pat her. Honestly why do people feel they have the right to pat your dog without permission. Everything crossed this girl gets her reprieve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravenau1 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 So sad. She looks lovely, too. Accidents happen! I have had a broken nose from my Dobe, courtesy of us both going for the same ball and her head colliding with my face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Her Majesty Dogmad Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 What a moron for doing that in the first place but even worse to make such a complaint, it is ridiculous. Would they also have euthanased my dogs/foster dogs for chipping my teeth, blacking my eyes, making my nose bleed, tripping me up? All unintentional accidents as this clearly was.

Cosmolo Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 My own dog nearly broke my nose last year. How terribly sad for the dog and owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teebs Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) how sad i have also been headbutted, once by a greyhound, i woke up with him jumping all over me trying to get me to play :laugh: and i had a door slammed into my head and was knocked out again by a bull Terrier. I opened the door and stepped forward just as she jumped on it! sometimes accidents do just happen Edited February 2, 2012 by Teebs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdierikx Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I'm sure most people who own dogs are fully aware of the "doggy headbutt"... had a few of my own over the years... *grin* Petition signed... T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
