Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| So i take my husky daily on a ride on my longboard. He's on leash and pulls me. Recently, we started taking a new path and within the last month. A pitbull has charged out of someones house(the same house) and attacked mine. The first time i figured it was just a fluke and id probably never see the dog again because we were doing it really late at night. Today though, its 6:30pm and the dog runs out again and attacks mine. He only get a huge mouthful of fur before i'm able to pull mine up(body harness) and away from the dog while i kicked the dog away.
The owner came out and i told him this is the second time yours has attacked mine. "Im so sorry" yada yada. Hes a really meth head looking guy. Proceeds to beat the pitbull in front of me.
My question is, do i call the cops or animal control or anything since there wasn't any damage done to my dog? Is there anything i can do? |

| Call animal control. What if this was a couple of kids walking a little beagle? |

| What you can do depends in large part on where you live.
Some cities / counties have leash laws. Some require a dog to be fenced, leashed or "under control" at all times. Others don't seem to care so long as the dog isn't vicious. The quotes around "under control", btw, are that some jurisdictions allow voice control - if the dog responds to voice commands, even at a distance, it's considered to be under your control.
The fact that this pit has attacked your dog (your definition) might convince a police man to make a 'nuisance call.' Then again, it may not.
What I might be inclined to do is to call animal control requesting their guidance and state it as a hypothetical or "one off" question. They might pick up on the attack or they might pick up on the beating his dog. I really dislike getting animal control involved, especially with a bully breed, since the end result of their involvement is that the dog normally gets put down.

| I’d definitely call animal control. Most cities have leash laws and the owner will at least get fined. |

| You know, every time an offleash dog has attacked my dog, I have seen the owner react by hitting the dog. One owner grabbed his dog by the muzzle and screamed into his face, then kicked him in the side. I was actually more frightened of the owner than his dog, by that point! I started to wonder if there is some relation between owners who hit their dogs, and dogs who are aggressive...
Here, animal control takes bites to a human VERY seriously, but attacking another dog is not taken very seriously. About the only violation I could report would be that the dog was offleash and off its property (violation of leash law, which is a small fine). |
