Prison Dog Rips the Bollix off Serial Rapist

Doesn't he post on here?

I don't think the dog would be put down it just did what it was trained to do. I say the dog might have to retire after this.

That would be my worry too, a lot of people think a dog should be put down once it gets the taste for human blood which I think is completely nonsense. I used to rough house with our dog when I was young (a Doberman) and it would often accidentally draw blood and it never began to see me as food.

As far as I am aware any dog that bites someone has to be PTS, at least that is how it is in the republic. I certainly hope there are provisions in place to ensure that dogs who are trained by law enforcement, armed forces etc. are exempt.

Dogs, man's best friend indeed:D

I've been critical in the past of people (members of the public) here who think it perfectly acceptable to use a dog in an aggressive and intimidating manner.

However this is a quite separate case involving a highly-trained working dog, with a capable owner/trainer. I strongly imagine circumstances for these dogs are different. I don't know what the rules are regarding prison dogs, but if every police dog that caused an injury to a criminal were put down there'd be none left.

For those baying for more blood and saying it was a pity the dog didn't go for his neck - it's for that very reason the dog isn't the same as your family pet - and the reason why they should be treated differently (wrt putting asleep). Working police dogs are trained to take down not kill. Think it is usually by taking a bite hold of the arms or legs, but the penis??
<insert extremely poor taste joke about African men and appendage sizes>
Probably happened quickly and whilst the dog was trying to grab hold elsewhere.

Oh and OP, never ever again post a link to the SW. I feel like I've taken a blunt blow to the head, irreparably killing a few million brain-cells.

I thought attack dogs were trained to disable someone. As in "chase down, and go for the arm". The guy kicked the dog in the head. Even a well trained dog or police officer is going to have bit of a problem with that.

Still the same, whether the guy was running or attacking - first thing for everyone's safety (including the dog) is to get him on the ground quickly, to the dog's level.

They must be if the dogs commanded to bite but in this instance the dog wasn't commanded to bite it reacted with bite, it's trained not to do that. The dog could more than likely tell the difference between someone trying to antagonise it and an actual attack.

Yeah but didn't the article say the man tried to fight the dog so if a dog is getting its head smashed in it's going to be doing a lot more than just biting the arm to take the man down. Even the most trained animals are still animals.

Plus it said it got kicked in the head and went berserk. If the man did try to fight it, the dog probably had its survival isntincts kick in and just went all out. Ask any police officer, there's a difference between taking someone down with safety and having someone trying to kill you. Self-defense is still self-defense so I think the idiot kicked the dog, dog went haywire and tried to kill the man when the man tried to fight it.

Why hasn't he been deported to Nigeria?

And that's not being racist or un-PC, that's just being someone with common sense.

(in before the PC plebs come along)

It's just a pity the dog didn't rip him to pieces. The dog deserves a medal.

if he did that,the poor dog woud have been shot.

the screws shoud rip the rest of his bollox off and mount them on a plaque like they do with deer heads,then put that in a place used by all prisoners who will no doubt make him go down a few notches on the prisoner hierarchy.

its likely this oxygen thief will put a kill contract on the dog as well,the dog needs to counter attack and put a contract out on him,perhaps pay another dog in kibble to rip the shattered remains of his bollox off and force feed them to him?
