Poor Dempsey again!

Caryll · #1 04-05-11, 07:06 PM

So angry. I spent months socialising Dempsey & watching his body language so that I could be a responsible owner, and what happens? A bloody doberman attacked him! I'd put Dempsey on lead as soon as I saw the dog, because they've had a 'shouting' match before, but the owner's a complete drip, and has no control whatsoever. So the dog comes over & immediately lunges at Dempsey and grabs him by the left ear.

Poor boy couldn't move, couldn't defend himself without ripping his ear off. Luckily my oh was with him & he said the other guy "Sorry, but I've got to do this" and he gave the doberman a left hook to the head that he'll remember for some days. He let go, but poor Dempsey's ear's a mess. My oh got bitten as well, but he's not sure if it was Dempsey or the doberman. There was blood everywhere, oh and Dempsey were absolutely covered. These are after I'd cleaned him up............

Don't look if you're squeemish...............

Oops, forgot to say that oh wasn't badly bitten, but got a couple of puncture wounds & scratches! He's ok!

Aw poor Dempsy, that looks so sore.
Definately report to the dog warden asap incase anyone else has the same problem with him. I don't blame your OH for punching him, I would have done the same.
Hope they both heal up really quickly. x

My oh used to be a heavyweight boxer, which is why I said the dog would remember the punch for a few days!

Awwwww Caryll bless his heart, loads of snuggly BT cuddles from me xxxxxxxxxxxxx (for Dempsey not you

)

I know exactly how you must have felt mate, he's tough, he's young, + he'll mend quick + thank the Lord your OH could throw a cracking punch, me + Tel (well Tel coz I'm a scaredy cat) would have done the same.

Seriously, I'm sorry, I would have let mine go

Bless his heart
