Huskie dog attacks child

oh and..

We don't have anywhere near enough info to make any conclusions about whose fault it was, or anything else.

But, if it was a "Husky type dog" (whatever that actually means) then I come back to the point that I always make when things like this happen - leaving aside all the usual things relating to good parenting, e.g. making sure that the child isn't left alone with the dog, training both the child and the dog to respect each other's space etc, it's simply crazy to get a dog such as a Husky and expect it to be safe with people - they are working dogs, not pet dogs and they don't even have a lot of time for people.

Mind you, sad those these cases are, let's keep it in perspective - far worse comes from people who drive at insane speeds, and far more often too. Attacks by dogs are pretty insignificant in numerical terms
 
Probably an Alsatian/big wolf like dog.

Horrible things IMHO and not suitable for families. Our most vulnerable people shouldn't be exposed to the horrors of a dog like this, IMHO.

It's not that rare an event either, loads of dog attacks
 
My dog would be classed as a "husky type dog" and is perfectly suited to families.. And children. He is a natural herder and protector of his flock and family.
I find your comments are typical of the ill educated "anti dog brigade". Far more kids are killed in car accidents than by dogs, so should all kids not be exposed to the horrors of motorised transport?

i can alread tell how this threads going to go , so I wasnt going to bother , but i agree with you . We don't know anything about the incident, how it happened, why, or what injuries were sustained so its a little earlier to be frothing at the mouth about dangerous dogs

Thats great. Obviously this husky isn't any of these things. I find such comments naturally very "dog lover" but I hope you are right.

I find them no more "ill educated" than the anti car, anti speed comments everytime we get a thread about a speeding driver/death on the roads scenario.

how do you know , given that theres no information about what happened ?

In the same way people go on and on about speeding drivers and how automatically they are a terrible menace to children and how they should spend their lives in jail.., I thought I'd just raise another issue.

I see, now I understand, you just started this thread to berate people who complain about speeding drivers :lol: You sly b****r you :)
 
Waste of time discussing this when the facts will never be known. However, it is difficult to see how "an injury to her lip" could result from an attack by a largish dog. I can only think of a scratch or possibly the chid being knocked over and injuring her lip.
 
Facts:

Some people drive like t***ts.

Some dog owners are t***ts.

end of argument.

so if the child stood on it and twisted its b*****ks it would be the dogs fault ? (I'm not saying that happened, but we don't know what did)

child is reported to have an injury to her lip - you have to wonder how much of an attack that can have been.

so are we saying speeding drivers deserve to be put down?

yep we'd concluded that on the spot punishment with a hellfire missile was the way to go iirc
 
ST4 said:
Good point, but maybe the child escaped a savage attack or recoiled as the dog was going for the thorax..
Click to expand...

maybe - although if the dog is the menace you suggest it seems unlikely a child could escape so easily - but don't know means don't know

That said i'd be in favour of effective regulation which stopped f***wits owning dogs - but until someone invents a genetic finger print test for f***wittery its not going to be viable

IQ tests, mental tests, facts testing. General "are you a f***tard" going over, if the regulator thinks f***tard, no dog. That would work.

FTFY
 
Nobody blamed the parents yet?

You don't leave 2 year olds alone with dogs. Doesn't matter what breed, doesn't matter what temperament. If you wouldn't leave them alone with a pan of boiling water then don't leave them with a dog.

To be fair, we don't know the child was left alone.

Dibble would be tasked in taking f***tard down the pub away from said dug. Can't pass the dibble f***tard test, off the jail for breaking the f***tard law.

yes but we've already established that in glasgow dibble would have to come team handed , armed to the teeth and with helicopter gunship support , just to enter some of the pubs ... so this may not be a good use of resources.

We could also apply the f***tard test to driving - anyone who fails (by for example not appreciating that it is never safe to drive at 130+ on the public highwway) could have their car confiscated and crushed and their driving licence revoked for ever

Indeed.

Of course it's very easy to blame the animal which cannot explain its side of the story.

"The little human kept stamping on my balls officer.."

:p

Then there's the sceptic in me that thinks the parents use the animal as a scapegoat for any failing in their duty of care.

One injured child, from the lack of details, there is no evidence to support your comment.
My sister-in-law had a Dalmatian, the softest people/kid loving dog you could have ever met, loved a fuss from whoever was around. Yet one day my niece had a friend round and whilst both girls were in the kitchen with the dog, the dog bit the friends face leaving her with her bottom lip hanging off. Now knowing that dog, I know he wouldn't have done that without provocation of some sort and with 4 kids in the family at the time ranging from a baby to a 13yr old, he was used to a lot of "rough" but friendly treatment.
Just because a dog has bit someone, don't assume it's because it's not a nice dog/pet. You could come across the nicest person in the world, but do something to them they don't like and you could find yourself on the receiving end of a whack, does that make them, not a nice person? I don't think so.
