    I'm absolutely shaking right now

    I was just out walking my dog and as we walked past this guy he just turns and gives her a huge kick.

    Hope you kicked him back. Could you remember a what they look like if you were to report it to the gardai


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 805 ✭✭✭CB19Kevo


    Report it to the Guards,
    They may do nothing but worth calling anyway.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,077 ✭✭✭Saralee4


    how weird and they knew you could see them? did the dog get hurt?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,570 ✭✭✭Mint Aero


    Wow wow context? If a huge dog came running at me for example my first reaction might be a kick too lest I get my squares chewed off. Was your dog even on a leash?

    already reported it,

    no, I didn't kick him back, probably would've ended up with me getting the **** knocked out of me. I'm not a violent person at all, I screamed at him

    I'm just shaking with anger


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 84 ✭✭66ad


    Wow, sorry to hear that links. Is your dog hurt?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,944 ✭✭✭✭Links234


    she seems ok, let a huge yelp when he kicked her but doesn't seem to be limping or anything


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 187 ✭✭Shandashey


    Jesus that is shocking

    Your dog is gorgeous

    Hope you're both ok after that - there are some mad people out there.

    Is she ok?

    Report it to the DSPCA and to the guards. Look after yourself and give her lots of cuddles tonight.:o

    happened me on the dart one time. It was packed and everyone was squashed and there was this man about 65 or so. I felt an elbow dig in the side. I just looked around and seen the man muttering something to himself angrily. I was looking at him throughout the journey and then he goes and does it to another woman standing beside him like a proper angry shove.

    Two men got on that were very tall and stocky and he did it to one of them, they told him to f off and he turned into this little wimp.

    People are weird!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 550 ✭✭✭beyondbelief67


    That's seriously crazy. Really hope your dog is ok ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 14,187 ✭✭✭✭kowloon


    That's a really arseholeish thing to do. I wish them an explosive bout of the squits and crippling pain to match.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,626 ✭✭✭✭My name is URL


    I'm not a violent person either but I don't think I could restrain myself if someone done that to my dog.. even if it led to me getting my head kicked in.

    What did the Gardai say?

    This some what happened to me before, some young one I was walking by (she was leaning against a wall with a load of young lads) took a swing at my dog with her foot (I was expecting trouble due to them eyein us up and she screamed in my face as I was trying to walk by at my dog who was minding his own business on lead beside me) before she made contact with her foot I whipped off his muzzle

    Her leg stopped mid air to my surprise the young lads grabbed her and pulled her back so I could continue on my way but not before I told her I would do a lot worse then the dog would if she tried that again.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,298 ✭✭✭DareGod


    There are crazy people out there. That's the explanation, unfortunately.

    If you don't feel like you can think straight right now, let us do the thinking for you - as others have already said, you need to report it to the Gardai and your local SPCA. Seriously. For multiple reasons.

    Also, if it was me, I would be bringing the dog to the vet sooner rather than later. But I tend to be a bit of a hypochondriac.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,419 ✭✭✭✭jokettle


    Jesus Links, that's awful :( We recently got a dog and I don't know how I'd react in that situation! I'm glad she seems unhurt, and she is absolutely gorgeous. Some people are just *****


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,185 ✭✭✭Satori Rae


    Oh and sorry about your dog she is a real cutie. Where you walking her through a town or rural setting?. I stick to rural settings less chance of idiots!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,944 ✭✭✭✭Links234


    Guards said they'll go looking for him, other neighbors came along to see what was happening as apparently he'd just kicked other people's dogs as well, including a little labrador pup up the street. he was talking to himself too, I thought at first he was on his phone or something so I didn't take any notice. this happened right near my house too so I'm especially scared right now.

    no way would I attempt to give anyone a kicking, I'm a skinny woman who's no strength at all, and this is a violent scumbag who's seemingly getting his buzz by kicking animals that are weaker than him. I screamed at him to **** off but that's it, my main instinct was to pick up my dog and protect her, rather than try anything


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,622 ✭✭✭Ruu


    Is this other person some sort of head case? Do you recognise him?

    let thee kick not, lest thee too be kick-ed.


    and mine right hand surely would smote upon his loins.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,944 ✭✭✭✭Links234


    didn't recognise him, never saw him before

    I know it might sound stupid but could he have Tourette's?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 958 ✭✭✭MathDebater


    Sounds like a headcase. Hope the guards scoop him up sharpish and the pooch is ok.

    Go and have a sit down and a cuddle Links. What a rotten experience to have :(.

    Hope you and the doggy feel better and if any of the guards you spoke to have dogs of their own then I'm sure they'll do what they can. Give the pup a hug from us.

    Sounds like he might be schizophrenic or something. I wouldn't worry about him coming back to cause more trouble. He probably wasn't even paying attention to the people he encountered on his dog punting escapade.

    Sounds like he could have mental health problems, or I hope that's the case not just someone who gets their thrill hurting animals. You did well keeping your temper I'd not of been able to if someone hurt my dogs.
    Your dog is so cute too glad she's ok.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,585 ✭✭✭✭Collie D


    Your dog's a little cutie. That's awful. Not sure how I'd react if somebody kicked my little dog. Think I'd be too shocked. Guy sounds a bit disturbed. Probably for the best you just shouted and left him.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 793 ✭✭✭LadyAthame


    Was he on drugs or drunk?

    What a bastard. If anyone kicked my dog I'd slap their head in.

    Keep an eye on her for the next 24-48 hours, make sure she's 100%. Check for any lumps or bumps and anything abnormal in her pee or poop.
