raineth Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I can't understand why so many people are calling her stupid. Intelligence isn't measured by how much someone knows about dog behaviour. The responsibility is with the dog owner. He shouldn't have allowed it - he is the one who is meant to make sure he understands his dog and protects people from his dog, and his dog from people. Plenty of dogs have no issue with people doing those sorts of things. My Dane would queue to have a stranger give her that sort of attention.

kosmology Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I believe everyone involved is at fault - the breeder, owner, anchor-woman, producers etc. Heck, even the dog dare I say that, but only in a superficial way because it did the deed! The dog is actually the innocent party, subject to human infatuations with being broadcast on television live. I reckon they (the humans) would have acted differently if they weren't in front of the cameras... Good to here the dog will be released back to its owner.

Good on her :) Thanks for posting that Melzawelza. Why unexpected? Although she misread the dog, her actions were those of someone who feels affection for animals. It would be good if she gets as many apologies from judgmental dog-experts as she got condemnations for being 'stupid'. . . . but I doubt that will happen.

OSoSwift Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Must have been a reasonable bite judging from the scaring in those photos. What she did was stupid, but then again the owner allowing it to happen was stupid as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unexpected that she would choose to look at the event in that positive light as a learning experience.... most public figures/entities the public would expect to act the total opposite.. I was not expecting her to come out and give that type of an interview it was refreshing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
