Joe the dog that attacked Max story gets thicker...

Relayer · 07-27-2010, 11:21 PM

Hi all. We just got home today from a 5 1/2 hour drive from the Keys with Max. He was sooo wound up from the long ride, we had to go run at the park when we got home.

Anyway... a lot of members may remember that I had to have Joe banned from our dog park because he went red zone on Max, almost 5 month old GSD pup. Turns out, he wasn't exactly banned, rather, his "owners" were told that if Max was at the park, Joe has to be in one of the smaller pens for unsocial dogs. OK... fine, just as long as he doesn't get his teeth anywhere near Max again. Cool. Well, we get to the park and about 10 minutes after we arrive, Joe and his person shows up. They do not go into the main park, they go into the smaller area they are supposed to go in. Good so far... We walk around and Max plays with the other dogs... all is well and normal. Well. I DO feel a little sorry for Joe, because he's isolated, but on the other hand, he's a bully with questionable owners.

Here's where it gets bizarre... so after about 30 minutes of seeing Joe and the husband (the wife was with Joe when he attacked Max) in the small fenced area, I walked over there. I said, "hi, are you Steve? He replied, "yes" (he knows exactly who I am, obviously) and I then extended my hand and said, "hi, I'm Mike... I'm really sorry about what happened because Joe is a really cool dog and I never would have thought that what happened would have happened." He says, "Yea? and?" I replied, "I'm just trying to be civil and meet you because I feel bad about what happened." He grumbled something I couldn't understand. I said, "Ya know... I would never have even reported you if your wife had just said two simple words...I'm sorry... she never said anything to me and I was pretty shocked. I would have apologized in the extreme and offered to pay to have your dog checked by the vet, had the tables been turned." He says... "that's between you and my wife, screw off!" I said... "Oh my god... no wonder your poor dog is a an A-hole, you're a major A-hole!!!" "I was trying to make some sort of peace, but whatever... "sheesh, it's about two dogs, dude!!!" He turned and walked away.

So then I leash Max, say goodbye to all the other great people there and go towards the main gate. Joe's "dad" decides to shadow me to the gate, walking beside me, while I ignore him. When I/we get to the gate, he grabs some poop bags (as if that's why he walked with me). I stopped right in front of him, looked hi dead in the eye and said, "have great evening, man." That was it. Ugggggggghhhhhh!!!!!!!

Some people just dont get it, Im suprised he even showed back up at the park.

Bummer, feel bad for that dog. It's obvious his owners shouldn't be his owners.

Watch your back around this guy. His dog isn't the only animal in his house with head problems.

Welcome!! You're new... you have no idea how stupid and brazen this couple is.. when the attack happened, they weren't even members.. they were sneaking in after their old membership had expired for 8 months! Also, the dog has attacked at least two other dogs.

Thanks man, If my dog did anything like that I would be more then emabarrased to show up to the dog park again.

Some people are just a-holes. This guy is obviously one of them and it translates down to the dog. Not the dogs fault, but that can probably be said for 99% of the dog problems in this world. Stupid people owning animals.

Yeah.. they are not to be helped, let alone befriended. I tried.

I say get some report on this dude, he may be abusing the dog which led to the dogs issues and have the dog taken away from them.

Either way the dude is a jerk, and doesn't deserve a dog.
