to the woman with the aggressive dog,
14 years ago
I probably should have gotten your name or something, but I digress; Keep your damn dog on a leash. And not on the leash but you're not actually holding it... I mean under control. It's dark. Your dog is black. And he has shitty recall skills. I don't even think he knows his name. So next time, when I come into the courtyard, I don't want your aggressive dog to greet me and my polite awesome dog. I don't want to get to know your dog one-on-one like I did tonight. And I mean it. If I meet him again, you're probably going to get a fuckin' fine. Big whoop, but that shit can get you evicted.
What happened was... I was walking Loki and we went into the little court yard... it's got a gazeebo and plants and stuff. There is also a lot of drama here. There's some old woman who takes pictures of dogs not on leashes. Where was she tonight? Anywho, it's VERY clear that in this area, you must keep the dog on a leash. Loki has amazering heeling skills, but just cuz of the drama, I won't let him off. So I go in the little area and I see a chick with blonde hair and a guy with a white/light hat and a tan shirt. Then I hear "Luke/Logan/lucky whatever COMME! Come! LUKE come!" I see no dog. Like.. ok, maybe it listened? No. No it didn't. He came about 10 feet over to Loki and I, and his hackles were up... tail was poofed and raised high... then he turned his side to us. I could see he wasn't sure. Then Loki did his play bow and tail wag and OHH PLAY WITH MEEE! so the dog dropped his tail and came over and I thought it was cool. He didn't try to dominate or anything. Then the lady comes up and all hell breaks loose. The dog snarls and jumps Loki, who just rolls and CRIES and screams, he's not even trying to fight the dog. Loki is just throwing his feet at the dog, flailing. Loki gets up all quick and runs to the end of his leash, I'm getting pulled and this dog is on top of Loki. The lady and her male friend are just WATCHING. WATCHING!!! So I'm like... GOING IN! And I jump on top of that fucker. Well, I had both of their necks pinned, but Loki is trying to get away so I wasn't too worried about him jumping in and ALL I see in my face is this dog's teeth. It's dark, teeth are BRIGHT. I'm still holding him down and Loki is 6 feet away on his leash and my knee is in the dog's side and he's still trying to go after Loki (or me). The dumb bitch then comes over and GINGERLY PICKS UP THE LEASH. OH WHAT A CONVENIENCE! A GODDAMN LEASH!! Dog is silent, I get up and he darts away, and she's like, "oh, sorry, sorry." and I'm like "JESUS FUCKIN' CHRIST LADY!"
She just goes "I said I'm sorry!" Like, what is that going to do?! I had to find a street light really fast to check Loki so I did, and I didn't see bruising or any tears/cuts. Then I stepped in poo! THEN I saw some other lady coming into the courtyard so I ran over and told her what happened. Her doggie was nice and Loki was happy to see him... so... I guess it worked out...
BUT COME ON. I wish I could slap people around so much sometimes. :| I lubs my puppy and would never let anything like that happen to him. He's been glued to me more than normal since it happened, though. *shrug* As sad as it sounds, he's my bff.

I know I've pulled my fair share of fighting dogs apart by hand, and its pretty darn scary! D:
geeze spellchecker, way to miss that >:I
How'd you pin "Lucky" ? Sounds dangerous, but I'm glad you .. well, saved your dog!!
Me too, I was so scared! I'm like some kind of paranoid parent now, though. XD
He then had the gall to ask after I got my dog pulled way from his and had to kick at the little jack russel if my dog was ok, though he made no attempt to stop his dogs from attacking. Being extremely pissed at this point I snapped to put the fucking dogs on a leash and that if I EVER saw his dogs off their leashes again I would call the cops. Since then I have never seen the dogs out again and I heard from another neighbor that the neighborhood watch made him get rid of the Pit bull after it attacked a few more dogs and chased after a little girl and her puppy.
I have nothing against Pit bulls and am a firm believer that there isn't a bad dog just bad owners. Sorry this happened to your pup hope he is ok and gets some extra love and treats for having a bad night. :c
All I've gotta say is... You showed more restraint than I would've in that situation...
I love animals, dogs in particular... But if anyone or anything harms, or attempts to harm MY dog.... Not gonna lie, I'd probably KILL it with my bare hands..... Not really a fact I'm proud of neither.. =/
I guess I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks that way, though. :3
Sorry it happend to you and loki. I hope it never happens again.
I hope they keep it on a leash from now on and it doesn't happen to anybody else!
My phone is shitty too cause it doesn't have flash like my husbands mytouch cell. But its good that y'all have a leg up on those turds with the unleashed dog.
Please keep me posted on this juicy bit of shit... o.0 wait... that sounds disgusting
But still keep us posted.
