I have been reading through these posts and this whole thing makes me want to share my story. I don't post much but here goes. When I was 22, many years ago, my brothers family dog (a german shepard) who had always been pleasant attacked me for no known reason. I suffered over 200 stiches in my legs, abdomen, arms and face. I have been disfigured for a number of years, and have had numerous operations to attempt to correct some of my obvious injuries. People stare at me all the time!mphilyaw said:Its sad that people think animals are just animals. We are animals too. If a MAN attacks and bites you would you shoot HIM 7 times? No. More than likely you would punch him or something to that extent. Why didn't Deputy Long kick the dog or move out of range of the dog. If a man came to your house and tried to open the door, which the officer did try and open the garage door, then you would expect your dog to defend your property not just sit there, so why is a police officer any different just because he carries a badge. A lack of common sense is what caused this situation.

I would like to suggest that all of you stand back and put yourself in a situation like this. Talk to people who have been bitten, disfigured, and familes of people who have been killed by dogs.
1. Should the officer have waited til his face was ripped to shreds and his arms were mangled to do anything? Not knowing the dog beforehand, think of what was going through the officer's mind when the dog was lunging at him. He had no idea the dog was a cute friendly harmless little pet. All he saw was teeth coming at him.
2. Would you rather see a dead dog or a severely hurt human being?
3. Do you really think taking the life of a dog compares to the lifelong pain and sufftering a human being has to go through after being viciously attacked by a dog? OK, in this case he wasn't hurt bad but that's not the question.
4. Humans and dogs are different. If you ran over a human with your car v. running over a cat or squirrel, don't you think it would be handled differently?
I just feel there are a lot of people judging this situation with their hearts and not their heads.
That is absolutely ridiculous! An ambulance CANNOT refuse to take a patient requesting to be transported to the hospital! I suggest you get your facts straight, or stop LYING. I don't have a "dog" in this fight (no pun intended) I am a dog lover and wasn't at the scene so I haven't commented. But please, don't make stuff up!dawn said:Since I am new here, I dont know if there is away to reply to karmas left to me other than to copy and paste and respond this way, if there is another way I am sorry and if someone will tell me how I will be more than happy to respond the right way -- but I got this statement with karma so i feel like i must respond--
The officer was bitten. I think that proves the dog was attacking!
First off the ambulance that responded to the scene REFUSED to transport the officer to the hospital becuase there was no obvious wounds -- so I am sorry before you make the statement that the officer was bitten have your facts straight. The officer has not come forward to show any wounds to his body, nor has anyone from the police department commented on the case. If the officer did come forward at this point with any proof positive, I am not so sure I would beleive him as a week has passed.
I heard from a very very very reliable source that the ambulance refused to take the officer to the hospital so now if you want to send karma and put a smarty pants statment with it, at least have your facts right!
