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!!!

SM, you are an abuser apologist. Yes, he was a vicious nasty little boy, lets hope the nip teaches him, and he doesnt grow up to be a sadistic teen.

all the dog apologists will say no and club together for your bail

DogsBest - only just saw your post! Hope that's the case here... almost certainly so, someone actually has to be fearful don't they? And it doesn't look as if stick-boy was.
OP - I think you should mention this aspect of DDA to your husband, though...
scottishmummy - to some extent I agree with you about U-ness (and downright futility, IMP) of blaming a 7y.o. (see above), but as a dog owner, wouldn't you be just a tiny, wee bit outraged if some kid treated your dog like this?

I pulled my dogs tail when I was 5. I knew what I was doing. I was being a little brat. It was amusing to see the dog trying to get away. Luckily my older brother slapped me upside the head before the dog had to nip me. Clearly I need therapy. I CANNOT BELIEVE people will blame that fucking dog.

YANBU.

That was not the actions of a responsible dog owner.

A child was hurt, yes perhaps a little swine, perhaps one who has never been taught how to treat animals, but nonetheless, a child was hurt because of an irresponsible action by an adult. The op said herself in the op, that if she were the child's parent she would contact the warden. I hope this doesn't happen btw.

I am very proud to be a "dog apologist" if it means defending animals against cruelty.

I asked her that Tchootnika and she didn't appear to have an answer.

Why is the child having to have a tetanus? If he has received all his baby immunisations there is absolutely no requirement for this. OP your DH has been silly I can't imagine this will happen again. If I had been at the pub and a dog was unaccompanied I wouldn't let me DC near it and I have two dogs but would not trust them with my DC unaccompanied, they are totally placid and have never so much as barked at anyone the wrong way I just feel that dogs, sharp teeth and boisterous children aren't a great mix - although not sure boisterous is the correct description for the child your dog has nipped!

a child was hurt because of an irresponsible action by an adult

Not quite, the DOG was hurt because of an irresponsible action by an adult. The child was hurt because of its own irresponsible and nasty actions.

I'm Intelligence and I've been a dog apologist for 25 years

all the well when i was 7 i knew right from wrong
doesnt hold anything other than anecdotal story. thats not how it is globally seen
scotland; age responsibility 12
england its 10

Nope, the dogs in the house - it isn't there to be 'played with' or hit by any of them.

I accept your point that the dog was also hurt though

beertrick,did you catch all that derision of the child
scant comment upon irresponsible dh.dont see him called brat,wet, or git

So you yourself don't believe a 7 year old is capable of knowing that hitting a dog with a stick is wrong? I'm sorry but you're just repeating yourself now.

Respectfully leaving the thread before I spontaneously combust from pure fury.

not wholly able to weigh up all consequences,no
and tbh i see a lot of intractable views on here. and inability to have any upset at bitten child

I think you've given her the result she wanted TakeMeDrunkImHome

THE FUCKING CHILD WASNT BITTEN ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID? THE CHILD WAS ABUSIVE TO AN ANIMAL THAT REACTED. OH MY GOD

ralph,are you getting all weirdy conspiracy theory.oh you think a ploy to get you?how deliciously suspicious

So WHAT if the dog got out. It was a simple mistake. Had the dog been out with the OP and family in a dog friendly child friendly beer garden and said BRAT had done the same to the dog, would the reaction be different then? Assuming that the child in question did NOT possess an excellent fake ID then the child was with responsible adults who chose to totally disregard his abusive behaviour towards an animal. Or rather, a fellow animal.

"Not wholly able to weigh up all consequences, no"? I'm sorry but you're talking utter bollocks and you know it. Also leaving this thread as you're quite obviously getting thrills from winding people up.
