Little bastard went for my ankles!

    Walking home today from the shops when some little ball of dog fur launches itself at my ankles. Now dogs love me. It's the opposite with women though. Only the attractive ones love me. But I'm getting off the point. This little fuzzball manages to connect with my ankle and is just biting down as I jerk my leg free! He was ineffectually supervise by a 12 year old who said nothing, even after the third time he goes for me. She doesn't even respond to my witty repartee. Thankfully there's no damage to my leg, but the little bastard is waiting for me, I just know it.

    So AHers, should I have kicked him into orbit or not?

    No leave the dog alone.
    Perhaps you could have kicked the kid into orbit?

    Any chance it was a Jack Russell? Vicious little feckers.

    maybe you should have got down and tried to lick the dogs red rocket, that way nobody will let their dogs near you in future. Upside: your ankles be grand, Downside: speaks for itself really

    I'm not sure, it would depend on the circumstances. If it was a smallish dog and it was just nipping at me, I don't think giving it a boot would be a nice thing to do. You could easily break its ribs. If it was a bigger dog and it was actually threatening, it's hard to know if kicking would be much help but I wouldn't hold back if I felt I was in danger.

    I do like dogs but I don't feel any of them have the right to bite people for any reason (except perhaps, serious trespassing). I think the correct response would to find out who that girls parents were (the dog owners) knock on their door (or send a letter if you're worried they might be knackers) and explain to them you will contact the dog warden and make a full complaint if you see/hear of similar behaviour.

    People that allow their dogs to harass people should not be indulged.

    Ah... Dog hatred.

    Why... only today I had a restrained Alsatian look at me and the message was undeniable:
    "Another time & place and I'd be painting the walls with yer blood ya wee ****."

    It was a Northern Irish Alsatian...

    I would defiantly have kicked it if it bit me.

    Obviously its owner hasn’t trained it well at all. It often happens with smaller dogs as people are less likely to discipline a small dog then they are a big one.

    What if it had been a small child it attacked?

    At least if you kicked the dog it might learn that there are consequences to it attacking people.

    To be honest a kick would have been mild compared to what you could have had done which is call the Gardaí who could have had the dog put down.

    Quite the ironic Username, but dogs can sense your past? I had no idea Derek Acorah was on boards!

    If it had happened to me, the little fecker would be playing fetch with Laika soon afterwards

    Approach the dog over time with treats until he trusts you.

    Then kick him into orbit when he least expects it.

    You'll get far better lift if his guard is down.

    Definitely! I have no qualms about kicking a dog if I am walking my own dog, and it goes for me or the dog. No dog is going to attack my dog while im there to stop it. Kick to the ribs usually sorts them out.
    I love dogs, the only time i have been bitten was a sneak attack by some scotty dog. I was leaning into my boot to get something from the car and the fecked bit me in the thigh for no reason!
    If the dog is unleashed, its fair game, or if the dog is not being held responsibly, also fair game. How bloody hard is it to pull back on the lead, and shout NO!

    See,this is why i don't like dogs. Especially small little fcukers.
    I'd have given the dog a swift kick,then booted the girl from one end of the road to the other.
    If she doesn't cop on that bitings not on,how's the dog meant to know.

    You could try this next time.

    http://bash.org/?777977

    <Anonymous> Now, I’m sure many of you have encountered little ****s in supermarkets. Little kids running about and knocking things over, being rude, walking all over their parents, you know the kind. But the worst are the biters. Yes, those little ***** that feel it is okay to bite you whenever they feel like it.
    <Anonymous> Okay, here’s the best part. A biter got me today when I was grocery stopping. He broke the ****ing skin, too. This was when the gears started turning, the moment I saw a tiny sprickle of blood on the little ****’s teeth as he was grinning at me like the little **** he is. I made my eyes get wide, and started screaming “****! ****!.” Now, my good friend, Tom we’ll call him, was there too, and he instantly picked up on it. He started shouting “****! MAYBE HE DIDN’T GET IT! ****!.” By now, the kid is scared ****less and starts crying, and instantly, Mizz Mom appears out of nowhere and starts getting pissy at us for yelling at her kid.
    <Anonymous> Here’s the kicker, I look her straight in the eye and say, “Mam, get your son tested as soon as possible, he just bit me and I’m… I’m ****ING HIV POSITIVE.”
    <Anonymous> And now there is silence. Not a peep in the entire store. The brat knows he just ****ed up big time because his mom isn’t defending his ass. She just stares at me wide eyed. I walk away from them, buy my **** from the wide eyed cashier, all the while blood is dripping from my calf, making a nice little trail on the floor. And, just s we leave, we start to hear the mother sobbing. Sobbing like the **** she is.
    <Anonymous> I have never felt any more satisfaction than the moment I heard that sob.

    Some years ago, I had a similar problem with a German Shepard and a Jack Russell. They both came into my back garden as if the god dam place was there's. I let a roar at them to hop it, the German Sheppard started to growel and snarl at me while the Jack Russell came round behind me.

    In the mean time our little terrier a Heinz 57, arrived and evened the odds I tool a swipe at the Jack Russell and caught him up the arse with the toe of my shoe as he turned around, I lifted him off the ground and he landed about 6 foot away and he ran off. I looked down at my shoe, jeans and my sock and they were covered in sh1te, now thats what I call kicking the sh1t out of something...
