Neville gets attacked by a German Shepherd.
I'm so pissed, upset, flaming-fucking mad. This dog was NOT on a leash. The only good thing about it was that my dad was walking him. He had to kick the dog about 15 times before the dog would leave. Had it been me walking the dog....well, I don't even want to think about what would have happened.
The German Shepard is an asshole. Every time I walk past the house on our walks, the dog comes flying at the fence. The neighbor was watching it yesterday... I hope they euthanize it.
This adds to one more reason I don't like big dogs. People don't know how to raise them. They get them as these status symbols and "guard" dogs. My best friend had a German Shepherd growing up that was very gentle. Unfortunately, not everyone pays attention to their dogs like she did.
Poor Neville. Two staples, antibiotics, pain killers and a trip to the Emergency Vet ($184 that the owner will be paying) he's doing well. A little shaken and scared, but he's a tough little guy.

POOR BABY!!!
Did you report him to animal control? If the dog is aggressive and the owner doesn't control him this is likely to happen again.
Some people carry citronella spray (it's called direct stop) - it wouldn't break up a fight, but if you manage to hit the dog in the face it might stop him before he got to your dog.
One thing I've learned though - and perhaps the best way to avoid this type of thing - is to turn around and get away as quickly as possible. Most dogs attack over territory (hence his barking at the fence every time you pass) - if you get out of the dog's territory, he might back off.
Sorry to hear this happened - I hope Neville isn't afraid of dogs as a result. Neyla wasn't the first time she was attacked, but after the second incident she now is. :>(
I own a German Shepard and she is the sweetest thing in the world. So please dont blame the poor dog. It was most likely abused. And it doesnt have to be euthinized! It just needs to go to a doggy boot camp so it can become better. I love my shepard so much and it hurts me when people are afraid of her. She really just wants to be pet! I mean I will be walking her down the street and some person comes up to her the first thing she will do is roll over and wait for a belly rub. So just because this dog needs some help because it must be fear agressive or possible territorial agressive but that doesnt mean all shepards are bad. I am really sorry that your dog got hurt. I love dogs and I hope yours gets beeter. And if this happens again please dont euthnize the dog. euthinize the owner for doing this to the dog.

That's so awful. I'm so so sorry. I HHAAATE stupid people!
I have two American Pit Bull Terriers and a Chinese crested (two big and one small, basically)and they are like human babies to me (until I have them...real babies that is, anyway) haha and then I cannot spoil them as much. But my neighbor's dogs are un-socialized, chained up, hateful dogs that they let out of the fence at night. One even broke into our backyard and attacked one of my babies, too. :-(
Not all big dog owners are irresponsible, most dog owners are irresponsible and just shouldn't have one.. it is just the big ones that can do the most damage unfortunately.
No one takes care of their dogs in my neighborhood, if they're not kept on leashes (or even collared) they're constantly getting out and picking fights and having puppies...or some just let their mean dogs wander.. I am not going to stop giving my dogs exercise that they need and enjoy because people don't take care of their animals. I just wear my good shoes and sometime just hook a baton on my pants. haha
I'm so so so sorry about your baby! I really hope that the dog gets taken care of, whatever way that is best.
Poor little Neville (I just randomly found this.. I now notice this is super old. hahahahah sorry.
