Lumby Dog Attack

[Ty01]

Haven't really heard anything further about the girl after what was said / shown on CHBC. But I agree, hopefully she heals up well and refrains from petting strange dogs in the future.

No news is good news?

[Ty01]

So far so good. I've yet to hear anything new. I think the next thing that's going to happen is the assessment, but I'm not sure when it's taking place.

Thanks Ty

Are there any developments on this incident? I sure hope the young lady is doing well both physically and mentally. It would be a shame to fear dogs after this unfortunate incident. I also hope the dog is alright and that nothing has happened in hast because of knee jerk reactions. It sounds as if common sense may have become involved after the amount of support the dog received. If tests or other observations prove a need for some action then so be it but the initial response from animal control and some posters were out of line in my opinion.

Hello, I am a friend of the dog owner, and there is alot of extra info that is not known about this case (appologies if this is a bit messy, I'm going to rant...)
The little girl who got bit isnt actually that little, she's about 10 or 11, and on her way home from school she pets every single dog on her street, including the one who 'bit' her. If she always pets him, wouldn't he be used to her by now and find it normal to have her petting him? Wouldn't he let her?
There was also no traces of blood around the fence, on the road, or anywhere near the scene, and the pictures that were on the news were not of the dog OR of the actual bite wound. She only got 12 stiches, not 30. The wound itself is more of a road rash or something that you would get from scraping yourself on a tree, and it is on her forearm kinda near her elbow, if a dog were to bite, they would go for the easiest thing to get, like the hand or fingers, not her arm.
The police did not check the wound for saliva, or measure the distance between the teeth marks. She is going to get plastic surgery (what the hay? why would she need that? the wound is tiny!) and erase all evidence on her arm.
It makes me so angry that the girl and her parents are going so far to have the dog killed because of this. If I got bit in this situation, my parents would give me a good swat on the head and ask me what the heck I was thinking.
The dog himself is NOT an agressive dog, as many posters have put. At the assesment, he showed no signs of hostility, and didn't do anything that would suggest that HE was that one who bit her.
They need to confirm that it is a legit dog bite, and not from tearing herself on the fence. This whole case is a load of bull, and they should just lay off trying to obtain the dog and check the evidence before it goes cold.

This is all I am willing to give out before it starts to get personal, thank you for all those who are supporting my friend and her doggie.

Ya gotta love Lumbonians, and their logic.

Why Bob, what do you mean about "Lombonians"?

I hope to God it was not an adult who posted this. It is a huge minimization of the incident.
If you think you are angry about the parents wanting to have this dog euthanized, think carefully about how they would feel about their daughter's well being. A non-agressive dog would not have attacked a petting child. A child of 10 or 11 is considered and referred to as a little girl by most adults.

Too bad bout your parents. Might be a bit of an explanation of how one can actually think like this about such an incident.

I don't believe it was an adult who posted this.
That being said, I am an adult and I tend to agree with
what they posted.
I don't believe they are minimizing the incident but
rather showing where the incident may have been
over exaggerated.
There are many facts to this incident that you and I
do not know.
The person who did that post has alot more info
than we do.
Your comment about what a non-aggressive dog
would not do shows that you do not know about animal
behavior. The friendliest animal can get spooked
and lash out.
If the girl had not stuck her arm through this fence
nothing would have happened.
I hope parents will talk to their children about this
and tell them not to pet dogs unless the owner
of the dog approves it.
Lastly, to insult her parents parenting skills, come on
now, was that called for?
Would you like to insult my parents as well?

Read twice again, don't see an insult there. Still hard to believe an adult can think like that about a child, dog bite, her fault, stitches, no big deal...
