Last week I went into a tea room in my area, used often by ex pats and which I sometimes stroll to with my dog. I was meeting a lady I had encountered in there before, we had exchanged emails and agreed it might be nice to get to know each other a little better.
I was looking forward to this as it can be hard to make new friends and she seemed the kind of person I might warm to.
I had barely got my pot of tea and started to chat with my new aquaintance, when a man came in with a bull terrier. It took one look at my 13 year old dog, lying by my feet licking some bit of his anatomy, then jumped on him.
It got him by the ear and face, dragged him across the floor. Wouldn't let go.
My poor sweetie was screaming, he was so in pain and shock that he shat on the floor, I slipped in this and hit the deck. I was plastered with dog honeysuckle, and have a hefty bruise on my knee.
The other dog would not let go of him, its owner after a few minutes did prise its jaws open and I was able to calm him. Not before the other owner got bitten.
He seemed quite upset about this, " your dog bit me" he whinged.
Hardly f- ing surprising.
It transpires that although his dog loves people and kids,( !!)it hates other dogs, yet knowing this he goes our with it unmuzzled. He even said that he checked with the local town council to see if it was the law to muzzle a bull terrier. It is not. So he didn't do it.
My little dog ( he weighs 10.5 kilos) had bites through his ear and a horrible hole in his neck. Luckily nothing life threatening. The guy said he would pick up the vet bill, which my vet allowed me not to settle immediately pending this man doing so.
I have since contacted him with the costs and he again said he will pay. Hopefully he means it.
I have often wondered what inspires these idiots to say "my dog wouldn't hurt a fly," and the next thing you know it has ripped some kiddies face off. I never thought I would meet one of these f-wits.
However my dog is OK now, after 2 or 3 days were he had bouts of uncontrollable trembling. He is enjoying bits of sausage and other meat twice a day as he won't take antibiotics (or any other tablets any other way).
And the lady I met was very supportive and I think we will be meeting again, in better circumstances.
The day after this I had a planned procedure to remove a cyst from my finger. So both and my dog and I are on tablets, but I have stitches and he doesn't. Also I have opium in my pain killers, and he doesn't.
The base side of me hopes the other dog owner has bites he wont soon forget. He says he will now muzzle his dog. . . .
