OSoSwift Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 Rangers this evening swooped on the home of an Eden Hill woman whose dogs allegedly attacked the girl at Success Hill Reserve about 4.45pm on Friday. The girl remains in a stable condition at Princess Margaret Hospital after surgery at the weekend. She suffered significant injuries when the dogs bit her face, head, back and legs. Some of the bites exposed her muscles and tendons. The girl’s 16-year-old brother intervened and held his sister above his head but he too was attacked by the dogs.

karen15 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Story above said it was an on lead area where the girl was attacked but I must say, I get a bit worried when I see prams and toddlers in big dog park. While peoples' own dogs might be fine, it doesn't mean all dogs are..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two Best Dogs! Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 If the lady had just obeyed the damn laws and kept her dogs on lead in that park that poor kid would not be how she is (and the dogs not on death's row). What a brave brother she has. I hope she's up and running like normal again soon, but oh what an impact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roova Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I can't believe the woman with the dogs took them home and had to be tracked down!! What a terrifying situation that must have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raffikki Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) Any dog attack sickens me, but this particular one really made my blood boil Not only was it in an on lead area but apparently the owner had said "If you see my dogs coming, make sure you stand up" not long before the dogs attacked On top of that, the owner left the scene It also might not have been the first time these dogs had been threatening/attacked. I hope the owner gets the maximum fines. Edited September 12, 2016 by raffikki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spotted Devil Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Freaking hell. Poor little kid and what a brave brother she has. No words for the owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulesP Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 The owner should be charged with assault. I thought that could happen now or is that only in Victoria? What a brave brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spotted Devil Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 The owner should be charged with assault. I thought that could happen now or is that only in Victoria? What a brave brother. Agree. I think it's state based legislation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loving my Oldies Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Wow to that brother. Poor little girl will probably be traumatised forever. I hope the Council prosecutes up to the hilt. That woman deserves prison: assault, not rendering assistance, leaving the scene .... any number of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two Best Dogs! Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Absolutely shocking owner ???????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simply Grand Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Wow, that's scary. Serious attack and thank god the brother was there and could lift her. Sounds like the only penalty for the owner can be a fine And the dogs being destroyed but given the woman's apparent unwillingness to manage them that has to be done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSoSwift Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 Isn't it completely disgraceful. The dogs should never have been off lead, she obviously knew they had issues, and then bolted and hid them. She has monumentally let down the girl and her family and the dogs. A disgusting excuse for a human. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSoSwift Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 The brother is an absolute hero. He should be nominated for a bravery award. I have kids that age, they are not small. To act as he did and physically manage that is amazing. Not to mention he was being attacked as well. I believe he is the reason she survived. I believe the woman should go to jail for attempted manslaughter or something equal. She is a disgrace. If my dogs did that they would be euthed immediately. Get help an ambulance dogs restrained all that, then immediate euthanasia. I do doubt however, I would ever have it happen as I would never risk my dogs or people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BullBreedBoy Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I really hate terms like 'Stafford Cross'. It's very unnecessary to include the Stafford. They could, and should just go with mixed breed. Drives me NUTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could, and should just go with mixed breed. Drives me NUTS. judging by the photos of the owner holding a puppy perhaps she was even breeding them?
