anyway what was with the mom leaving the kid laying there and running? im sure she was going for a bat or something i just found it weird she didn't immediately pick him up in case the dog charged again.
Amazing you can construct such an informed opinion knowing nothing about the dog, its owners, or their histories.
I stated it is "my opinion", I do not see what you do not understand about that, unless opinions are not to be given?
My opinion is absed on being around dogs for decades, and unfortunately being around dogs in third world countries that exhibit similar behaviors because the owners purposely do this to make guard dogs out of them, and in those countries observing the numerous homeless dogs around and their behavior.
Loooking at the dog in the video, even that short moment exhibited familar traits with the scenarios I stated above.
This shows that cats can be, and often are, ever bit as protective of their families as dogs. They are much more social creatures than people give them credit for.
I love dogs, and I'm sad for this one. He will in all likelihood be put down because of his owners ignorance/lack of responsibility. I don't care what breed they are, dogs are not born 'viscous'. I truly hope this dogs' owners are held accountable for what happened, because they are the ones really responsible.
I was viciously attacked by a dog when I was a child, and it didn't phase me one bit. I was still loving dogs, all dogs, everyone's dogs, in every situation, like it never happened. I didn't even have a problem with the particular dog who attacked me. I'm not saying this child might not be afraid of dogs now, but it's entirely possible that's the extend of it. Kids are more resilient than people give them credit. Having adults freak out doesn't help. My parents were cool as could be about it. That's what helps kids take things in stride. Fearful, upset adults make it harder for children to get over things like this.
So was I. Twice I was bitten as a kid, the first time I was pretty little and it was about as bad as this. I'm still a dog lover and I still learned the difference between being careful of other people's dogs and being fearful of all dogs. Hope for the same outcome for this kid. I agree it has a whole lot to do with the parents' attitude about it.
The news reported as Lab Chow mix according to the owner. Thats why the breed/type isnt in the news. If it was a Pitbull wed all know about it in every headline. Time to ban labs now eh ?

Absolutely... You better believe PITBULL would be in every headline. In HUGE, bold fonts. And the story then wouldn't be so much about the hero cat, but made about the nasty, vicious pitbull. I'm really sick of the breed hate.

No, just chows!
