Recently we had another dog attack on a child!!
Two Chow/Golden retreiver mix dug under a fence and bit a 14 year old girl, apparently only one of the dogs bit her leaving puncture wounds in her upper hind thigh.
The strange thing is that because they were not the dreaded Pit Bull or Rottiweiler, this owner will pay $150 per dog and be able to take them home.
I assume that having Golden in them saved them and that the wound didn't look like it was torn flesh just punctures wounds from the canines, bite and release.
What other reason could there be? In a town that if a dog bites a child/anybody the dog/dogs are usually put down.
Every town and state has different rules. Some places you can quarantine the dog yourself- other places it must be done at a facility. From what you said I would imagine that the dog is going to be quarantined at home.
If they immediately put down a dog after a bite it has to be tested for rabies. The states don't like testing negative dogs and most require a hold before euthanasia. If the dog has bit several people or there are other circumstances they may change the policy on that day.
After a dog has a record the court may deem the dog a dangerous dog- but even then- it is not all that easy to just take someone's dog and put it to sleep.
Deanne - That is true but I find it odd that in the past 3-4 months there has been 3 dog attacks, in my Metro, 1 by a Matiff/Rott on a 12 yr old boy, 1 by Rotti on a 8 yr old boy and this one invovling 2 Golden Mixes and a 14 yr. old girl.
In the first two cases the dogs were taken the owner fined and the dogs put down. I have to admitt the bites were more server then the last dog attack. But these Goldies dug from under a fence to attack this girl, they could have been provoked, who knows.
And admittly the dogs when pictured in the kennel hardlly looked dangerous. Which by nature is not the case with other two dogs. But is it fair judge a dogs ability to be socailized, by the way it looks?? $340+ and maybe Medical bills, is all the guys out of.
It rumored that once a dog bites it will bite
again in a similar situation.
The fact that the other dogs were put down doesn't mean that it was mandated by the state or anyone else. Most owners who have a problem dog usually find the bite to be the last straw and agree to quarantine with a euthanasia at the end of the quarantine.
You can not judge a dog by looks. The only dog that won't bite you is the one who has no teeth.
