The woman - whose arms were also smeared with blood - pulled off her animal and fled down a street in Warrington, Cheshire, after it ripped off the head of a Pomeranian dog. As the Pomeranian's owner Gemma Antell, 30, looked on in horror, the bull terrier's mistress was alleged to have defiantly said: ‘It's not his fault - he's only a baby’, before strolling off with friends.

BC Crazy Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 (edited) Poor little dog didn't stand a chance... And all the poor family, including children, where there is witness this Horrific !!!! Edited July 8, 2013 by BC Crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melzawelza Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Horrific, and completely unacceptable behavior from the owner too. It is really concerning that even though her dog was on a leash she couldn't control it at all. Love how the police say they are now investigating whether the dog is a banned breed. Who cares?! Deal with the individual dog and the individual owner and the individual attack. What a waste of time and police resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jed Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 It's not his fault, he is only a baby" Spot on. It was YOUR responsibility to control him. You didnt or couldn't do that. The poor pomeranian died a painful and frightening death, the owners are traumatised. Your dog will pay with his life, and I hope you are fined. I hope also, when you get another dog, you get something you can control. About half that size and weight. Oh, a few dog training lessons wouldn't hurt either. You stupid git.

BlackJaq Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Would have been nice to see "Police are now investigating whether the dog's owner is a total f***twat" instead of the breed investigation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddy Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Would have been nice to see "Police are now investigating whether the dog's owner is a total f***twat" instead of the breed investigation... There'd be some pretty strong evidence to that effect, I'm sure. Personally, I'd like to see not just fines but permanent dog ownership bans so that idiots can't do it again.

Kirislin Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 It certainly sounds terrible, but it's confusingly written. One part says the owner of the attacking dog fled and another says she strolled off with friends. I hope the owner is charged and convicted, but once again, the damage is done.

I took that to mean that she "fled the scene" but by walking away, if you get what I mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw something on the news about a new law coming in that will ban people whose dogs have attacked, from having dogs for up to ten years. Who knows if it will actually be policed though.... I think owners of dogs like this should get jail time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fit for a King Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Kirislin - if you look at the pics she is seen dragging the dog away - they are both bloody....and another shot she is strolling off with friends...dog still on a loose lead......complete f*ckwit...she deserves to be imprisoned. I doubt the dog will make it out of the pound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was a banned breed there would be more severe legal ramifications I should imagine - that would be why they are investigating the breed involved.

BlackJaq Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I don't really think it should make a difference what breed it was. Whether poodle or pitbull, the little dog is dead either way and the owner is still a twat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdierikx Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 If any of my dogs did something like that, they'd be at the vet being euthed long before any "authorities" were called... that sort of behaviour is NOT acceptable under any circumstances! Buggering off nonchelantly after the fact is seriously bad form by the owner of the offending dog. Serious consequences should be visited upon them. T.
