Quote HistoryQuoted: The dog was left at my house for my family member to pick up, he was picked up and let-loose to roam in a suburban with 3 small kids in it aged 3, 7, 10 and 12. He bit the side of the 7 year-olds face. Cut skin and a muscle/tendon on the side of the face. Possibly 20? stitches. It was an ugly/cut/bite. I learned last night from the family member/ driver that he was climbing around, back in forth inside the vehicle looking at the window (like dogs do, if allowed) Only thing we can think of is that he was scared because he was being taken from his home. Fun fact, this 7 year old, was recently scolded about not teasing dogs. For those who can't read... I was out of town for 6 days and this happened on day 2 of me being 500+ miles from home. The local sheriffs department picked him up after the call into 911. The sheriff deputy took the dog to the local pound/humane society. I was told by the responding office that he was/is being labeled a dangerous dog. The pound was told to not release him to me. Must be inside house or Kenneled, top to bottom enclosure and on a concrete pad so he cannot climb out or dig out. Micro-chipped Annual fee to the county Signs posted as to a dangerous dog living here. minimum 50K insurance policy When walked outside, must be muzzled and leased at all times, cannot roam free. (I live rural and on a good size piece of property. What kind of life is that? It would kill him to not be able to run free and chase the kids. Also.... NOT A PIT BULL.....Golden Retriever / Lab Flamers gonna flame. I'm going to make more phone calls in the morning. Vets, second opinions, appeal of some sort?? I don't know. My options are limited it seems. Sounds like a certain police officer likes to kill animals. I worked in law enforcement years ago. We had a deputy who CLAIMED he was attacked by a pitbull and since then loved to shoot dogs. ..and no it's not a joke. I get the whole "hide your dog" shit, but this deputy had a sadistic streak. Sounds like this deputy you're dealing with is from the same line of thought. You'd be surprised who you run into. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: 20 stitches can be a very small area on a child’s face, especially depending on location. When it comes to faces and children, a plastics doc will put in tons of tiny, delicate stitches to minimize scarring. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I care about dogs more than I do about most people. That said, a 20-stitch attack on a kid is not normal. Yes, kids are little tards when it comes to dealing with dogs, and I used to get a good laugh when our dog would correct our kid or his friends with a little nip. But 20 stitches? Let's be reasonable, folks. That's kinda fucked up. 20 stitches can be a very small area on a child’s face, especially depending on location. When it comes to faces and children, a plastics doc will put in tons of tiny, delicate stitches to minimize scarring. 20 stitches is nothing. When I was a teenager, I had an accident and split my head open between my eyes. A 1-inch laceration. The plastic surgeon put 120 stitches in my head, in a 1-inch cut. 20 stitches on a kids face could literally be a 1/4" cut. Most likely, the dog just whipped his head around with its mouth open, and the tooth just did the damage by impact and not an actual bite. Do the bare minimum to get your dog back in your possession, then immediately give him away. Laws on "dangerous dogs" are mostly bullshit. And I say this as someone who doesn't care for dogs... |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I made a ton of phone calls this morning, reaching out to a few personal contacts in the local law enforcement community and a local vet. Also spoke with a lady at the humane society, she told me the dog (Hank) has been cuddly, playful and overall an angel. She is the lady that brings all the dogs to be euthanized, she cries every time. She told me that there are a few dogs at the humane society that are "up for adoption" that should put down, yet aren't. Hank doesn't even make the list. She told me to tell the Deputy that picked him up to call her. I did speak with him again and he said he would call her sometime today. Hopefully I know something good in the next 4 hours. Also, apparently he cannot even be put down today because it has not been 10 days and that they (the pound) are happy to keep him until then because he has been so good for them. Also, my niece is going to be fine. The doctors said she will have -very minimal- to -no scarring- because she stitched back up so well. It has been almost 7 days to the hour and she is healing very well. Praying for you and your dog. Really does sound like a freak incident. Labs/Retrievers are generally not like that. Sounds like he got scared over something. |

Beyond that, we’re just going back and forth on whether the bite is understandable or justifiable. I think the context in this instance does not indicate the dog is aggressive or in need of euthanasia. You may or may not agree, as is your right. |

The dog is way too big a liability after mauling a kid’s face. If you kept the dog and he bit someone again, you’d be sued into oblivion and possibly held criminally responsible as well.

The person in charge of the dog and children at the time of the incident was extremely negligent in the execution of the move.
Even without a biting incident that unrestrained dog could have ended up in the steering wheel or the brake/accelerator and caused an accident killing everyone involved and possibly other innocents. It is a simple operation for anyone with any common sense to get a dog from point A to B safely without injury to the animal or others. A lot of people lack that common sense. For reference go look up "No good deed goes unpunished " where an innocent idea to help turns into tragedy due to piss poor planning and execution. |

I wouldn't have my dog put down in that circumstance. I also know better than to put my dog in a situation like that. When my daughter comes over I put our dog in it's cage because one of her kids is 5 YO. Young children will often grab a dog's coat or body parts or hit them. That behavior will often result in a child getting bit by an otherwise well behaved dog.

Never heard back from the deputy yesterday, unfortunately.
I'll call the pound today and see if I can get a hold of the lady I spoke with and see if he did call her or not. They do know each other, which helps. Maybe not hearing back from the deputy is a sign that he actual did more digging into the story vs repeating to me what the dispatcher told him  Caller frantically giving "details" to the dispatcher Dispatcher relaying details to deputy Deputy: Looks like that wraps this one up folks, no questions asked.  I know hes a dog owner as I drive by his house frequently. |

Following. I hope you can get your dog back. Most places allow one bite. Are you able to find and afford an attorney who specializes in animal rights? I can ask around for a reference if so, I’m on several forums who are involved in situations like this. Sometimes the dogs live.

I'm willing to bet if it was a pitbull this thread would be going in a very different direction, with most people agreeing with putting the dog down. I don't care for pits, but I do find it a bit amusing how the breed has so much influence on people's opinions when there is a dog bite story.
How many of the news articles that are posted about a pit biting or mauling some kid were a result of the dog "being pushed to it's limit", or "them using their only defense mechanism" because the kid provoked it or it was put in an unfamiliar situation? I'll be interested to see how the next "Breed of Peace" thread goes after seeing people stick up for this dog biting a kid in the face and causing significant damage. Ehh, nevermind, we all know how it will go...."kill the dog, no questions asked, "fuck the owner and sue the shit out of them, they are pieces of shit" |

There will not be any lawsuits.
That's just not what we do. Any medical expenses and dog pound fees will be paid for on my end. I don't blame her for this, I blame myself. My collosal screwup for having her watch him was the first mistake, but her mistakes only kept the fail bus rolling and here we are. She doesn't blame the dog, she told me she thought he was just being frantic because he's still in that puppy stage, she now knows why he was act that way, he was scared. I'm not an animal apologist, but animals do animal things. Shit happens. I don't value animals over people, (99.9%) of the time. People have more value than animals, especially when those people are kids, even if they are brats. It's not the dogs fault I screwed up. He's been a fantastic dog. I can count on two hands the number of potty accidents he's had since he was 9 weeks old. He been around 12 ducks and chickens, including baby chicks, baby kittens, adult cats, other dogs. No issues. He's always been very gentle. He's a good dog. I just hope by a miracle of God that the deputy will retract his decision and he can come home to the wife, 3 kids, 8 cats and 12 ducks and chickens that dearly miss him. |

OP, can you get the media involved? There was a dog in Houston who was impounded for allegedly nipping a woman who snuck up and startled her at the park while leashed. This dog’s video and plea was picked up by the media and went viral worldwide and in the end judge released the dog bc it was easy to see dog not vicious and was startled.
Be more proactive. Find someone to help you. Seems the deputy is more than willing to kill your dog. Ask your sister to talk to him. |

There is some blame everywhere but what is done is done. I taught my fur baby (yellow lab) to not care if someone was fucking with her while eating, tugging at her and there was structure and punishments. My niece had climbed all over her and if she gave me a sad type look, that was enough and she trusted me to also protect her as well as children. Not saying something similar couldn’t have happened but I tried my damndest to make sure it didn’t. Fucked up shit happens all the time and I hate that it happened to a child and a dog. Only thing to do is take REASONABLE course of action at this point. It may be a one off instance but I wouldn’t take that chance with yours or anyones child. I wouldn’t wait to see if it happened again. At minimum I would find an adult household for the pup and let them know what happened. Then it is up to them to take it or not. I wouldn’t want that on my conscience. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: There will not be any lawsuits. That's just not what we do. Any medical expenses and dog pound fees will be paid for on my end. I don't blame her for this, I blame myself. My collosal screwup for having her watch him was the first mistake, but her mistakes only kept the fail bus rolling and here we are. She doesn't blame the dog, she told me she thought he was just being frantic because he's still in that puppy stage, she now knows why he was act that way, he was scared. I'm not an animal apologist, but animals do animal things. Shit happens. I don't value animals over people, (99.9%) of the time. People have more value than animals, especially when those people are kids, even if they are brats. It's not the dogs fault I screwed up. He's been a fantastic dog. I can count on two hands the number of potty accidents he's had since he was 9 weeks old. He been around 12 ducks and chickens, including baby chicks, baby kittens, adult cats, other dogs. No issues. He's always been very gentle. He's a good dog. I just hope by a miracle of God that the deputy will retract his decision and he can come home to the wife, 3 kids, 8 cats and 12 ducks and chickens that dearly miss him. I hope everything works out for you. (I did think MN was a two bite out rule but I don’t keep up on laws) |

I had a Lab/Chow mix.
Had her 11 years, around my son as he grew up. Zero aggression. Bark way worse than bite. Even playing around little kids was never an issue. You'd have had to do something extreme to get that dog to bite you, even with the half Chow. Basically, try to hurt me, my wife or my son. Lab/Retriever Mix? Forget about it. OP, I'd pull all the strings I could. Somebody let you down and didn't supervise your dog around a kid that obviously didn't know how to be around animals. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I get the love for dogs, I am an animal lover but what I can’t wrap my head around is how some think animals are worth more than people. (And not just this situation.)

The dog I loved the most in this world departed this world on January, but if she were still here, try it. Look up the word "Psycho" in the dictionary and you can find a picture of Anton Chigurh and then one of me next to my prematurely dead dog. I get the love for dogs, I am an animal lover but what I can’t wrap my head around is how some think animals are worth more than people. (And not just this situation.) Depends on the people. I'm capable of rating how much I would care if a person just stopped existing depending on a few factors. |

It gets too redundant to explain it every time. |
