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!!!

thats legal and statutory view of child responsibility.not my sole anecdotal pov. it is recognised and protected as age of responsibility

SM can I suggest that you post to ask if you are BU in thinking that your 7yo hitting a toddler with a stick and climbing on his back should not have caused the toddler to defend himself and that his parents were unreasonable to think that your child should have been supervised and thus prevented from attacking the toddler? And to ask if posters think that the toddler's parents are unreasonable for being angry or for believing that your 7yo should know that there will be consequences if he makes an unprovoked attack upon a more defenceless soul?

See how far you get!

Don't hide behind that again, how would you feel if your own dog was hit by a child with a stick? It's a simple enough question. What would your reaction be?

are you always of belief people are out to get you ,wind you up
in,say an average day how often do you have this unfounded belief

I really dont give a flying fuck what the law says about the age of child responsibility to be honest. A 7yr old beating a dog with a stick is a vicious nasty little shit, and there is absolutely no other way to express that.

ralph you asked me this before.refer you 22:54:52 to previous answer
do keep up

Avoiding the question are we?

BTP I think hitting a dog with a stick is awful, in the same way as I think poking a dog with a knitting needle is awful 4yo and 7yo- in some children, there isn't a great deal of difference.

Some children don't come in to contact with animals, don't know the boundaries (as you didn't with your own dog). Fuck it, I sound like I'm excusing animal cruelty and I'm not trying to-

My only point is that IMO, neither the child or the dog can be held responsible. Only the adult.

I really believe that SM is just doing the utmost to defend a totally indefensible act for the sake of...well...attention?

i will always speak up for a child being demonised.
child shouldn't have hit dog,and adult companions should have supervised the kids.but the vitriol to the child is appalling.given it doesn't have full capacity or understanding

Oh dear I am sorry I do not have a degree in english you must use smaller words. 7 year old child hitting a dog with a stick = vile little brat. Erm...that is all.

Obviously the dog was not under suitable care or restriction.

Small child, not familiar with how to behave next to dogs.

Dog bites child (nips is a word used by dog owners who don't want to accept reality)

Dog is a Staffie, known as an dangerous aggressive breed.

People are blaming the child

UNBELIEVABLE

yes if skin is broken its a bite
nip is a euphemism of severity of bite

Nip is not a word used by dog owners who don't want to accept responsibility. A nip is very very VERY different thing from a bite. Puppies nip. It is how they learn to behave with other dogs and therefore their human family. It isn't biting.

A staffordshire bull terrier is NOT NOT NOT a dangerous breed.

Research before you post BULLSHIT.

I don't think the breed of dog is relevant tbh.

yes if skin is broken its a bite
I think it would be legally recognised as such.

Dog is a Staffie, known as an dangerous aggressive breed.
Unfortunately quite a few mags would very likely share this ridiculous
prejudice opinion.

YABU for owning a bogan dog breed of dog that is specifically bred for its aggression, for having it uncollared and un-chipped, for not having a fully fenced section and for marrying a hapless git who doesn't follow simple instructions [gavel].

as i keep saying.7 yo
lack of capacity
lack of ability to weigh up all consequences
impulsivity,excitability unwise random act
inability to grasp action and likely consequence due to age
potential inexperience around dogs
inadequate supervision by adults

FGS if it is really (and REALLY?!) so hard to understand then pop on you tube and look up videos of dogs attacking. Observe the body language and jaw placement of a dog that is set to bite. Observe a playful nip, a warning nip. 101% different. Lips curl when a dog is to bite, it is instinctive. Nips - nope. A nip is closed teeth, like a pinch. I don't know why I am bothering really.

I'm asking how you would feel, scottishmummy. Do keep up. If you're resorting to patronising me again, do try your best with the grammar and punctuation, dear. It doesn't really work without it.

Yes, I think someone is enjoying all this attention.

nips is a word used by dog owners who don't want to accept reality

Also the word used in this instance by the police too, who I am sure would be certain about the terminology.
