In the news..Women Protect Baby From Dog Attack

[sully5]

Two German Shepherds.....hate these stories. Of course it is terrible when any dog bites, but just like with pitbulls, one bad dog story makes every dog of that breed a bad dog. I wonder if the Shih Tzu breed will be considered dangerous after biting the woman's face at Home Depot. Somehow I doubt it-the little dogs manage to get away with it!

well that is definitely not good.

I think what's terrible is that when these types of things happen, breed lovers rally around their breed rather than rally around the fact that two dogs went after innocent people walking a baby down the street.

Thank god these women held their ground despite being attacked, unlike the poor excuse for a mother here who ran out of her burning house PAST her childrens bedrooms, newborn and I think 4 y/o, and left the house.

Quote from the article:

"Adams said the dogs tore pieces of flesh from her lower right leg and from her friend's lower right leg. Adams said her wounds are still leaking blood through her bandages."



Heck! That dog sure did tear off a ton of flesh *sarcastic tone*

A comment someone left on the story:

"If they "threw" themselves over the baby and carriage they probably would have caused serious physical harm to the baby. I base this on the fact the fact that the lady in the picture is easily 300+lbs. That baby would have been flattened like a pancake!

In some countries people eat dogs. Maybe someone saw an afternoon snack, and the dog (justifiably) took exception and fought back. Just sayin,,,,"

I guess german shepherds are getting some support ???

Oh good grief, how anyone can attack the people who are attacked (really, her weight?) is beyond me.

Have some compassion. The people are the victims here.

I never trust any news source to give a fair representation of an event. Usually they just try to excite emotions and sway opinions.

I'm guessing their was a bit of embellishment in that story. N

That's a dog bite?!?!?! I have a meaner looking gash on my leg from my cat scratching me the other day.

Something doesn't sound right about this story. Maybe the "victims" are being opportunistic and trying to sue. Maybe the dogs just chased the women and nipped at their ankles and weren't really a threat.

Adams said the dogs tore pieces of flesh from her lower right leg and from her friend's lower right leg. Adams said her wounds are still leaking blood through her bandages.

I'm not defending the dogs here but let's not get carried away with the descriptive journalism. The injury pictured is presumably the worst one, it's a puncture wound, not a flesh wound, and that's a band-aid, not a bandage.
So really, the dogs punctured her skin and she required more than one band-aid.
