LisaCC Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Nova just got attacked by a dog It ran out of it's house and grabbed on him while he was on lead on our walk. Thank god he has long hair because it just got a mouthfull of hair, between his eye and ear, if he didn't have that much thick hair there I have no doubt he would of got skin or his ear torn. The owners rushed out and had to punch and pry the dog off him. There's not a mark on him, we are watching for swelling as his hair was pulled a lot. He's just quietly playing with a toy now, I just hope he doesn't become fearful or reactive because of this. He wasn't worried about my Mums next door neighbours dog barking at him so thats a good sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LisaCC Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Yes, thats what I thought. If this had happened when my old boy was alive it would of been much much worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dory the Doted One Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Poor Nova. How are your nerves now Lisa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lollipup Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Poor Nova and poor you Lisa! It's so frustrating and annoying when other people being irresponsible impacts us and our dogs negatively. And when they are so impressionable. I can relate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaCC Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 My nerves are pretty high still. It really looked like the dog had his eye. I've checked him down to the skin, in his ear, mouth and his eye with nothing that I can see, I did have to wash off a lot of saliva. I don't want to mention breeds but it was "miniature", if it was full sized I think damage would definitely have happened. No swelling yet so hopefully none comes up over night, Nova is calm again and chasing christmas beetles before bed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dory the Doted One Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I'm sure he'll bounce back. He seems to be a pretty resilient little man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yonjuro Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 My Siberian Husky puppy - Ronin arrived from his trek from Newcastle to Perth tonight. He is more beautiful than I hoped for, so now after a meal, explore and play time he is having a well earned snooze. I am buggered after the stress of worrying about the travel but it all went smoothly. Pics will follow soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliwake Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Lisa, that's so awful! Poor Nova glad he's physically ok, and hopefully he won't have any other issues. Hopefully puppy attention span will work in your favour... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've always been very good when I've reported dogs that have attacked Del. Don't be overly worried about him becoming reactive as you've put in a good socialisation program's since he was little, and that has most likely made him very resilient to this sort of thing.

LisaCC Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Thanks Raineth, I reported it this morning, the council in Orange was pretty good about it. There is a lot of similar looking dogs around my place in Wagga, so I really do hope he bounces back from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LisaCC Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Yea, only here until Sunday, then I'll be back in Wagga. They seemed quite good, said I might get a call from the ranger later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph M Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Just booked an Australia day camping weekend in Echuca for us and the dogs. Probably going to regret this given the knob-dog status at the moment, but they will have a blast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yonjuro Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Hi all, I will have to work on my doggy action shots as he is seldom still between naps LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dory the Doted One Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 We tried herding today! Willow has Potential. She exceeded my expectation, and allayed quite a few fears. Although it's a bit of a challenge to watch your dog running after sheep when every nerve is screaming...STOP...DON'T CHASE. :laugh: Willow thought it was the BEST fun, EVER. She definitely left wanting more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
