Guest paulamariez Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 My poor, poor baby. Some stupid !@#$ing guy was walking THREE HUGE MASTIFFS WITHOUT LEASHES at the park this morning. They came up behind Ronn and my three boys and the one just attacked poor Bueller from behind. They didn't even know they were coming. Ronn had to jump on the dog like a line backer to get him off Bueller. Bueller's back leg got the brunt of the damage. He's got a bunch of puncture wounds on his back leg and some on his chest. The worst part was that the main blood vessel that runs down Bueller's back leg got nicked. He's got his leg in a compression bandage and we're watching a blood spot to see if it stops bleeding on its own. If it doesn't he'll have to go back in for surgical intervention. The E-vet wanted to keep Bueller until they found out we didn't have enough money to pay. We managed to scrape up the money, even having the girl at the front desk kick in $ 1.90 so we'd be paid up. (this after paying out $658 on Friday for the dental.) So they basically tossed us out after patching poor Bueller up. If all goes well today/tonight, Bueller gets the compression bandage off tomorrow and gets evaluated by our regular vet. WHY WHY WHY did this have to happen??? Please keep my poor, precious, sweet boy in your prayers. He's such a good boy, he does not deserve this. He was just getting back to his old self after his dental on Friday. Thank you.

JenniferS Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 How scary! I hope he is okay. Did you get information on the owner? He should be the one paying the bills. You could even file a police report if you have a leash law there.

At the very least, I'd report the incident to animal control.

Guest paulamariez Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Yes, we got his name and address. Ronn went over there right away and so far he's coughed up the money for today's visit and said to just bring him the bills and he'll pay for whatever else he needs to. Hopefully the check won't bounce. With our luck it probably will. And yes, we have leash laws over here. It's illegal to walk a dog anywhere in our county without a leash, plus there's a big sign at the park that ALL DOGS MUST BE LEASHED. But of course that doesn't apply to everyone. There's a lot of people that go there and carry the leash. That's why Ronn takes our early a.m. to avoid the crowds. Didn't help today though.

Guest lauri Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 I'd take the guy's checks and cash themat HIS bank right away. That way there's no delay in finding out if they'll bounce. Hugs to your pup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatricksMom Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 I'm so sorry, poor Bueller and his worried parents. Sounds like you need to find a new e-vet if possible (or is that sort of thing standard at an e-vet?) Quote Beth, Petey (8 September 2018- ), and Faith (22 March 2019). Godspeed Patrick (28 April 1999 - 5 August 2012), Murphy (23 June 2004 - 27 July 2013), Leo (1 May 2009 - 27 January 2020), and Henry (10 August 2010 - 7 August 2020), you were loved more than you can know.

CaliforniaGreys Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 NO way, after what Bueller just went through.First priority is to be sure your boy is okay. That's a lot of trauma for him. Then....nail the jerk. Bueller deserves the best, and I know how much you love him so I know he'll get the best.

jodyksam Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 I am so sorry . How scary and frightening for Bueller and for you. Sending healing hugs and prayers ... be sure to file a report with animal control or the police so that this can hopefully be prevented in the future. I'm so sorry .

With that and the receipt from the e-vet that is probably enough evidence to take the guy to small claims court and sue. Make sure and keep any record of future vet costs as well. I would also make a police report and keep a copy of that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest argolola Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 I feel so bad for your poor little sweetheart. Please call the police if you haven't done so. Bueller will be in my prayers. Lola was attacked by an off leash dog, so this is something that makes my blood boil. Please keep us posted. God bless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FordRacingRon Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Speaking from experience,,,fix the dog,,, then nail the SOB to the wall. This is an everyday occurance here where we ONLY walk in the park (because my dog was bitten by a beagle then a pitbull on the streets,,,,and I know about wrestling dogs too since I had to wrestle the pit),,, and yes where I live it is a state, county,city and park law to leash your dog,,and everyday the yoyos are out there letting there dogs run loose. Tell AC too. Because you know what, this will happen again to another dog then another if you don't tell them. If you do, this guy will be in trouble. Sorry if I am ranting but I get SO MAD when this happens, because it happened to me and THERE IS NO EXCUSE. Big hugs to Bueller for an easy recovery.

Guest ss556 Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 I'm sorry this happened. I've been there 3 times, twice requiring stitches. Take care of Bueller and then get the money. People are stupid. I asked the same question, why, why why??? It doesn't help unfortunately. Praying for a speedy recovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHNora Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Poor Bueller! I don't know if you have heard of this, but there is a citronella-spray that is in a mace-style can called Direct Stop. It can usually stop an attack (IF you can see it coming! my gosh!) but it can also distract the attacking-dog for a few valuable seconds to pull them apart. It's about $10 per can. Get well soon B!

Guest boondog Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Poor Bueller! He's in my prayers for a speedy recovery. Please keep us updated. I also wanted to tell you, for future reference, about the Care Credit payment plan that many vet offices use. It's something to ask about if you ever need it. Of course, it doesn't apply in this case because the SOB owner is the one who's responsible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I don't understand is it there is a leash law why do people allow their dogs off leash. It is simple. If there is a leash law keep you d**n dogs on a leash. I am so sorry your baby is having to pay the price for this stupid person. People like that should not be allowed to own a dog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
