I am sooooo upset right now.
I was walking blitz with a gentle leader..nice laid back walk.. and we see a guy down the street talking to someone with a jack russell terrier just running around through everyones yards. I immediately stoped and put Blitz into a sit so this man could get his dog. Well, I was paying more attention to making sure blitz stayed calm, when I should have watched this dog. I look up to see the dog charging us barking and growling.
The dog bit blitz's front legs, and Blitz immediately bit into him and picked him up and wouldn't let go.. the dog was screaming and a guy driving by stopped to help.. it took 3 of us and about a minute to get Blitz to let go.
The dog seemed ok, but I told the owner (well, the wife who came out of the house screaming "what happened") to take the dog to the vet and I would meet her there. I drove to the vet, but apperently, the owner just dropped the dog off and left because no vet was there.
I immediately called animal controll and filed a report that their dog bit my first, and mine was leashed and in my controll.
I am so upset, but Blitz was just protecting me and my daughter.. He doesn;t know if the dog is a 140lb rottie or a jack russell.. he just sees a snarling dog charging his family.
Am I responsible for vet bills if their dog was the one that was loose and bit mine first??? I am just freaked out right now.
