I do find it v worrying how often you here of this happening here

couldn't agree more 

I hope that Willow remains unaffected by the attack. Hazel was attacked by a staffie cross back in the summer; unfortunately for her its had a lasting effect, which I'm trying to help her with

Glad you are all okay, nothing makes me more angry than seeing a dog being bullied and attacked by another dog!  especially when the owners seem totally oblivious the their animal's behaviour

I would have been angry and scared as well, glad Willow is ok

My OH says we are all "Saddo's" (he does say this in a jokey way and not a nasty way) on here   However he loves the meets and looking at doggy photos... and he always asks what going on on here... and when I was judging some of the photo competition he felt he should have a say too    He does wind me up sometimes  

Hehe Maddy, typical bloke pretending he isnt interested  
Im a member of a holiday forum and my hubby and son now say if they really want an answer or someones experience, "will you ask on the **** "  As they know Im on constantly, sure it will soon be that its COL they say to ask on.

Poor Willow and poor you! It's so scary when your dog is attacked, especially when the dogs's owners are nowhere in sight. So glad Willow is okay.

Think at a loss for words other than the choice ones you probably said earlier....poor Willow, hope you are all ok x

Thank you for all your kind comments.

We saw another doggy on the walk after and she seemed fine with it, im guessing that will mean she will be okay with other dogs, may be not. 

KellyT when you say Hazels attack had a lasting effect you mean she is now afraid of other dogs, was this straight away? Poor Hazel.

Aww maddy, that must of been awful

Makes it worse that the owner of the dog obviously didn't give two hoots!

  for you and Willow, I hope you've all recovered from the incident x

It is so scary, we all hate to see our doglets hurt or scared both of mine have been attacked without provocation. Luckily they weren't badly hurt and have been fine since - the first owner apologised profusely and was genuinely upset his dog bit Charlie. The 2nd time with Dexter a dog charged out of his garden and went for him, poor little man was screaming his head off and trying to get behind my legs and I got an ear bashing from the owner as apparently "what did I expect walking past her dogs territory", to which my response was "excuse me but you live on a public footpath to a park which is frequented by dogs and you left your gate open", there may have been a few sweary words thrown in too 

[mcford]

Gosh thats terrible, poor Willow 

I am sure would have reacted the same as you and used probably many of the same words as you. I just can't understand why people would allow aggressive dogs to roam around feely, not caring if they go for other dogs. I am just so glad that it had a good outcome and I hope that although they may not have appeared to care, I hope they got home and thought about what their dogs could have done.

Having just been through this myself with Rouge I really feel for you....sending you big hugs and hoping you both recover quickly.

KellyT when you say Hazels attack had a lasting effect you mean she is now afraid of other dogs, was this straight away? Poor Hazel. 

She now tends to approach other dogs (particularly black dogs) all 'puffed' up with her heckles, standing on her tippy toes - trying to look 'big' in my opinion.  She also does a growly bark.  It's almost like she's trying scare them away before they come close.  However she's obviously scared because if they come towards her she turns, tucks her tail between her legs and does a half circle back to me, if she looks again and the other dog is still coming she comes back to me again. If the dog looks like it might be going away she gets 'brave' again and wuffs ...

Not with all dogs, particulary black dogs, or dogs that are bigger than she is 

[maddy74]

Thanks for your comments. Thanks KellyT, poor Hazel. We didnt see any other dogs whilst out on her walk this morning and tonight OH walked her and said she was okay with one other dog that he saw but she knows anyway.

  for you and little Maddy.
