Why wasn't the dog's owner shot dead by police?

In fact, why aren't all owners of such dogs shot dead by police?

A dog called ASBO - give me a break :rolleyes:

Still got loads of immigrants to get through before we start on dog owners.

So I guess you mean the same thing for people who own Rottweilers aswell then?

[AboveTheSalt]

So I guess you mean the same thing for people who own Rottweilers as well then?In the words of WikipediaIn the hands of a responsible owner, a well trained and socialized Rottweiler can be a reliable, alert dog and a loving companion.I haven't checked, but I very much doubt that they use the same qualifiers in relation to Collies, Labradors, Retriever or many other breeds, even Alsatians ;)

Draw your own conclusions.

In the hands of a responsible owner, any dog can be well behaved and controlled. It's when you get the idiots who use dogs as a status symbol is where the problems occur.

For the record, my mates sister had a rotty and he was a bloody good dog, never really barked at anyone and was as soft as poo poo.

Any suitably trained/provoked dog could try to take a chunk out of a baby - even a yappy little yorkshire terrier. How much it'd take to do that, and how much damage they'd do is another matter, but the outcome would probably be the same.

Our family dog is a Jack Russel/fox terrier cross. She was the runt of the litter, and fully grown she is still smaller than the average domestic cat. Always been spoilt rotten and wouldn't hurt a fly. Loves attention seeking.

Last year she bit a 3 yr old on the chin, totally out of the blue. 3 yr old reacted as anyone would and gave her a smack on the nose, which did little to quell the brewing firestorm. She went berserk, and we had to take her off to see the vet, who diagnosed a heart murmur and a benign lump along her spine which we suspect the kiddie inadvertently pressed down on. You have no idea what the details of this story are ATS, but because of the breed of animal you are casting a very wide net. I thought you were a little more reasoned than that tbh.

Agree completely with Wossi on this.
