Two Dogs Attack

I'm so sorry you were attacked. Yes, it's very scary. I was attacked by a tiny pug, a chihuahua, and a mutt before but I was on their turf and they didn't get out to get me. The owners were so horrified and offered medical but I declined. Those little dogs can really hurt. Inside dogs that are territorial should be put up if someone comes to visit. If outside dogs are territorial, the owners need to make sure they cannot get out to hurt anyone. If they do, then sad as it sounds, they need to be removed. I've read horror stories of children and people being killed or severely mauled.

That is awful. What if they had been big dogs? I would have been terrified.

Dogs must be kept on leash here, I would have called the police.

no but I know how scary it is when they growl and go for you! Glad they were small. YOu should carry a bat--ha!

I am glad you are okay. This happens to me more often than it should since many dog owners in this apartment complex can't seem to follow the rules and keep their dogs leashed when they take them out. The last incident a woman's dog came charging down the stairs and crossed the street to attack my dog as I was walking her late one night. Luckily she didn't get hurt. In the end I was more shaken up by it than my dog was.

Fierce dogs daren't bother me. I'm married to a mini-rotweiler who takes no s**t from any living thing (including me)!

I was bailed up by a dog one day while I was out walking. It wouldn't let me go further. I kept saying "no" while stamping my foot and showing a flat palm. Eventually I managed to go on my way . There's something very scary about a snarling , barking dog that's trying to have a go at you.

That is my worst nightmare..Although I like dogs, I have been scared of them my whole life. ..even though I have enjoyed the ones I have had in my life. I got scratched by grandfather's dog's nails when I was little..and I think that kind of started it. I am glad you weren't hurt.

That's awful... I went for a walk (about 15 minutes from our house) and a dog spotted me and started running in my direction... I was nervous for a few minutes but he turned out just to want a belly rub!

I'm so glad you didn't get hurt bad. Hope they had their shots.

Am glad nothing serious happened. I have never attacked by a dog

I was mauled by a German shepherd as a child and still bear the scars. That plus other issues. To say I loathe dogs is an understatement.

No but I have had close calls while out walking. Glad you are ok.

I do not like dogs attacking. I do not know what the reason is, but I think owners have to better keep dogs, not let them attack someone.

That sounds scary. I am glad you are okay. I haven't been attacked by a dog, but it happened to my husband some years ago. We were selling lottery tickets from the kidney association and we walked around from door to door. In one of the houses the owner opened the door and his dog ran out out and attacked my husband. The owner apolgized and offered to pay for my husband's clothes. We went to the ER because the wounds looked pretty bad. Fortunately the wounds healed after some time.

I hope they had their rabies shots. That's terrible. I'm glad the owner apologized. I've been attacked. The dog who attacked was put in quarantine. I felt sorry for the owner and dog. She was only protecting her new puppies. She answered the door before the owner and latched her teeth on my knee.

A big dog jumped on me when I was little. Ever since I have been afraid of dogs. But I've never been actually attacked.

That had to be really scary. Even to be charged by an angry dog, no matter how small, is frightening. I love dogs, but I have been frightened by aggressive dogs at times, but never injured. My brother was mauled by a Pit Bull several years ago. The dog had to be shot to get it off of him.

One place I lived, a little chihuahua dog came out of nowhere as I was walking home and wanted to bite my feet! I turned and faced the little runt yelled no! He stopped, looked at me dazed and I walked backwards, the little runt didn't know what to make of me walking backwards, opened my gate and hurried in. He turned and went off somewhere. It was a close encounter. Apt. dweller's can't have pets so it must have been roaming around from somewhere. I don't like dogs that attack, and usually they don't for they got to be on a leash or kept in their yard only.

I was twice attacked by dogs,both time when I was in Netherland. The first one was small,he was not tied,he ran to me,barking..and when I was thinking Ok that's what it was,owner of that dog said only one word (probably on Dutch,because was unknown for me) and the dog stood in front of me and was silent. And the other one...was some big breed..now,try to imagine the barking sound of that big dog,it was terrifying,the owner kept him and at the same time he try to calm me down,because who knows how I'm looked in that moment ,he try to explaining to me that his dog manifest LOVE on that way Well,thanks a lot Mr. but I do not want such love!!!!!
