Poor Shadow :(

Liv, I am soooo sorry to hear you had to go through all of that nonsense... your dog being the worst of it, and then the deer? WTF?! You are a trooper my dear, I'd be in worse shape (probably in jail).

Hopefully shadow will make a speedy recovery, I also hope that the owners of the other dog will pay for any cost the may occur.

A dog can be unpredictable however a good responsible owner should be in control of their dog, obviously they were not. :(

Thanks guys :hug:
Shadow's throwing up and generally looks like he feels like crap, but I hope he'll start to perk up after his next round of painkillers/antibiotics. He's too cute to be this ugly!!!

I know you guys would have killed that other dog, but as much as I'm mad at it, it reminds me of my foster dog... she was prey reactive and would have done the same thing if a little porker walked in her line of sight. I'm pissed at the owners, because while we both had crazy dogs, I'd never bring my crazy dog to a park. Besides, if I had actually allowed myself to get as upset as I felt, I don't think I'd have been in any state to get everything done that needed to be done. I think I'm going to bring that dog spray with me in my car/camping bag from now on though, seems like it could come in handy :gj:

I'll post updates on Shadow as he heals in here :) He gets the drain out in 5 days and the stitches out in 2 weeks!

pepper spray works too lmao

That's illegal here I think :P

Hopefully your pup will heal up without any problems. I'd be going after the owners of the other dog for the vet bills.

At least Shadow is okay! It could have been a LOT worse! Keep us updated.

Also, if you were to kill the other dog, would you get in trouble with the police? I'm curious now. When I take my dog for a walk I bring a big stick just in case, and I don't think I'd have an issue beating a dog to death if it tried to attack/kill mine

I think you definitely could, since it isn't technically self defense (dogs are property in the eyes of the law).

Ya I will be. I basically spent tuition for next year :(

Glad Shadow made it and will be okay. I'm not a fan of small dogs but he's pretty cute.
I'm another who would have killed the other dog. But it's probably good that you didn't since they would likely be less likely to reimburse you for vet bills had you killed their dog lol. You got their information, right?

If pepper spray is illegal, do you know if you could have something like bear spray? It's like pepper spray for bears (strong stuff!). I think something like that would be legal, since it's for use against animals and not people. I could be wrong though, so you'd have to check your local laws.
