Houndtime Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 My biggest fear when I am out alone with my three greys. This makes me sick to my stomach. Please extend our most sincere sympathy for the loss of these two innocent greys.

brandimom Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Two SEGA hounds that were having their afternoon (leashed) walk yesterday were attacked and killed by two pit bulls that were let out of a house unleashed by the pet sitter. Their owner is obviously devastated by their deaths and is staying with friends until she can come to grips with what happened. She has a police report, AC was contacted and it appears they have had other reports of these dogs being loose. Please say a prayer for Maris, Yogi and their mom. OMG...........that makes me sick. Prayers for Maris and Yogi and their mom! Maris and Yogi you have your angel wings when too soon! We are so sorry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest scfilby Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 That is just horrific and traumatic, and I can not imagine. Nothing will ever erase the memory of this poor woman seeing her pets killed is such a violent way. She is going to be emotionally harmed for many years to come, possibly forever. The young adults who live in the house next door have two pitbull puppies. They keep these puppies on the back deck with a baby gate across the stairs. It is only a matter of time before these unsocialized dogs jump the gate and attack our hounds. They stand there and bark and growl at us already and they are only a few months old. Pitts are banned in our city. I have been struggling with what to do, but after seeing this, I must report them to the city. I can not take the chance of our pups meeting the same fate. Unfortunately, bad owners make bad dogs.. I hate it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest goofydog Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 An update for those who want more details: The aggressive dogs were being cared for by a sitter who let them out onto a busy residential street in downtown Atlanta while she took out the trash. She had been instructed by the owner not to allow them off lead nor to take both of them out at the same time, as they might stir one another to aggression. Obviously, she did not pay attention to this, and my dogs had to pay the price for her carelessness. The owner has taken responsibility and is having the sitter pay the costs for both my dog's medical expenses and to have my back car seats replaced, as no dealership or car detailer would clean them. He is also paying for adoption fees for two new greyhounds, so that when I choose to adopt again, the funds will be there. He has agreed to put his dogs down, but I just want to let everyone who lives in Fulton county know that there is no legal standing to force an owner to do this. Even if a dog has attacked a human being, in Fulton county, the dog is quarantined for 10 days and euthanasia is not guaranteed. I am still in a daze over all of this. The dramatics from the dog sitter have compounded what has already been a horrible incident: she called me directly today and begged me not to kill this dog owner's "babies" because of her mistake. I was floored and told her that if she wanted to think of this decision as killing, then it was she who was responsible for killing four dogs. I could not believe her self absorption and immediate desire to be relieved of her guilty feelings. I consider the owner fully responsible, as it was he who chose to have this woman take care of his dogs. He seems to be a reasonable person, but I just want all of this to be over. So, please keep your prayers going as I plan to meet the owner and sitter at a bank to receive payment. I will let everyone know if this part of the ordeal has resolved successfully tomorrow. If not, I will have to get legal representation, which I dread having to do. Of course, none of this makes up for what I have lost most, which is my sweet, sweet greys. All of you know how precious they are, and I thank you for your offers of help and prayers and support during this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LunaTygerCat Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 I am so sorry for this, I have worked with pitbulls in the past and although several of them are very sweet, the breed is very prone to agressive qualities. I am a believer that there are no bad dogs, just bad and careless ownwers. I think that both the sitter and the owner should be held accountable, and I know that nothing help a grieving heart except time. You are in my prayers and you have a great support team here.
