Aibu to be fucking fucked off with dh??

[Lollyheart]

I'm raging inside I'm so fucking angry

We have just had our dog brought back by the police because he left the fucking front door open again!!!!!!

And now a poor little boy has had to go to the hospital for a tb jab, the police man said our dog walked over to the pub garden where some kids were playing football, a witness said the kids were all stroking him and playing but one of the boys got a bit rough and started hitting him with a stick, the witness said the boy climbed on his back by this time our dog must of got pissed of and nipped the boy.

I have told dh soooo many times to shut the front door after him when he goes into the garage for something incase our dog gets out as he is over friendly and will go up to people!!

I'm now scared someone will want to come and take our dog away and put him down because of his breed! If I was the boys parent I would report this to the dog warden so I'm guessing they will do that.

Would they bring him back if they thought he was a dangerous dog?? They did say they could tell his was friendly because the landlord at the pub was feeding him and playing with him.

I'm sooo about this I can't even look at dh, ahhhhh I've told him so many time about the fucking front door!!!

Seriously the way I feel at the moment if anything happens to my dog, dh goes too.

no.7yo is not "more than capable" of weigh up consequences of actions.this is legally recognised as minor

Then you must know some bloody gormless children then.

I knew at 4 years old not to hurt animals, probably younger than that. By 7 I certainly knew how to behave in a decent and respectful way and knew what the law meant.

We do not know exactly what happened as the OP did not see it.

Hmm, starting to smell a rat. I think scottishmummy is enjoying herself a bit too much. I can't believe that anyone hearing about a child hitting a dog with a stick wouldn't feel even the tiniest bit outraged, especially a dog-owner themselves. Attention craver.

Takemedrunk after the nip it doesn't always end there. Dogs are put down regularly because Jeremy Kylers/knuckledraggers/horaay henrys can't control their children or teach them any respect.

no.legally 7yo is minor and lack full capacity-its a legal and statutory norm
your man at bus stop logic,is seriously lacking.jsut beacuse you want to demonise the child and make it wholly responsible doesnt make it so

I knew at 4 years old not to hurt animals, probably younger than that.

squeakytoy - that's true for many people (thank goodness) - but (as I said above), lots of children aren't brought up to see animals as creatures with feelings - which is really sad (and makes me furious when I see parents smiling indulgently at their kids shouting/growling at dogs...)
When this is the case, I don't think a 7yo can be blamed.

Any reasonable professional, medical or dog related, will tell you that skin broken is not necssarily a bite and can well be a nip. A police officer said that it was a NIP and that he/she was able to catch and contain the dog, the pub landlord was playing with him. That does NOT indicate an aggressive dog! Trust me!

I got my skin broken when I dropped my bike on my leg the other day. It was a bruised graze, not a fecking gash! There's a difference between a nip with skin broken and a bite. Ask any rescue owner, they'll back me up that there's a fecking big difference between a nip and a bite!

No there must have been adults around who couldn't be bothered to put a stop to the cruelty. Animal cruelty is seen as a run of the mill thing unfortunately.

my dog 'escaped' once when we put bins out - we shut front garden gate in dark and didn't see he was outside the gate.he just sat by the gate until we realised 5 mins later he was missing.he knows his boundaries.

derision at hurt child seems casual on here too. ease of hurling an insult and surmise child asked for it etc

The CHILD HIT THE DOG WITH A STICK

and that in no way justifies the responses on here,or the casual ach well asked for it/that will teach em.little git,brat, wet responses

DBF TakemeDrunk is in our club. She's good

plenty.lets see
asked for it
little brat
git wet
...the few i recall

The child was NIPPED, and got away lightly. (Luckily for the poor dog).

SM, this dog was happily playing, and being stroked, then all of a sudden, this animal which has presumably only ever known love and cuddles before from humans, starts to be hit with a stick, and tormented. Does that not bring tears to your eyes, because it does to mine.

What did this poor animal do to be beaten? fuck all from the sounds of it.

I absolutely detest animal cruelty of any kind, and I dont care what age the abuser is, it is disgusting.

SM the child won't hurt an innocent animal again, so the nip was worth it. A dog is not an inanimate object, child knows that now, dog taught child a lesson parents couldn't be arsed to

A NIP is NOT a bite. A bite comes at you with spread jaws curled back lips and intent to bite. You barely see a nip coming. It is a please back off warning sign after ALL other signs have been ignored. That poor dog must have given all it could to say please back off and been ignored.

a vicious little boy who got a little bit of what he deserved
thats derisory

If I can be allowed to beat said child with a stick and have any of my old BCs sit on his back then I am SO in the fucking club. Then perhaps I can post on AIBU. I hit a child with a stick AIBU?

scottishmummy the child wasn't innocently wandering past when a vicious dog set upon it for no reason, it was bullying the dog. It may be just me but at 7 years old, a child knows that hitting another living being with a stick is wrong, be it a dog, a cat or another child, whatever the legal definition of being in full capacity is. So why can't you understand why people would feel pissed off towards the child?
