someone just kicked my dog

Links234 · 20-04-2015 07:48PM

I didn't keep my temper, I absolutely saw red and screamed at him what the **** did he think he was doing and to **** off, never felt so angry, I think I startled him because he muttered something and wandered off, my guess he didn't expect that from me and got a shock. doubt he'd have done what he did if it was some big lad and his dog instead of me

Links234 · 20-04-2015 07:50PM

he didn't seem drunk, but he did seem kinda out of it so I'm guessing drugs, he looked rough. I wouldn't say he's mentally ill

If anyone comes near my dog, they're losing an eye. Slowly. With rusty pliers.

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

Sounds like he may not be mentally well or such so could be unaware of what he did even. Just stay inside and chuck lots of love at your pooch. It will be fine It is scary having a big man do something like that but he must be a coward for kicking puppies health issues or not.

I had the local alcoholic try attack me (for crossing the road as he was drunk driving) when I was walking my dog home. Stopped to get out the car to mouth off and was going to give me a few slaps lucky for me I own big dogs. So he backed off.

But I was scared sh**less for a while I can tell you.

I carry sprays in my dog bag I would spray a person in the eyes with deodorant if they came at me :P Small woman or not feck them like!

That's so cruel. So people are just scumbags
Your dog is so cute op.hope she's OK and not too shaken up

alroley · 20-04-2015 07:55PM

What utter scum! I'd be so upset and angry if that happened to my dog.

Hope your pup will be okay, but definitely watch her closely for a while to make sure she's not injured.

Links234 · 20-04-2015 07:55PM

I hope she's ok too... I'm not ok though, I'm very shaken.

I suffer seriously bad with anxiety, so I'm kinda just ****ed sideways right now,

forgodssake · 20-04-2015 07:56PM

That's sick. Can't believe someone would do that . Imagine what the asshole does to animals when there's no one there. I'd lose the rag if someone kicked my dog .

Sit down and eat something and talk ****e or watch tv. Actually rehashing it on the net so soon after might actually build it up. If you feel it's helping continue sharing though. We are here for you.

RobbingBandit · 20-04-2015 07:59PM

Any CCTV or street cameras in the area if so the garda should find him, hope you and your dog are okay now, I would kill anyone that tried to hurt my dogs.

Links234 · 20-04-2015 08:01PM

No, no CCTV or anything I think, it's a pretty quiet neighborhood

MarkAnthony · 20-04-2015 08:02PM

Sorry to hear about your dog and other's dogs. My first reaction was one of violence also, but on further inspection it seems you've someone who is mentally ill there. Hopefully they're found and looked after.

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.

Check for tenderness too or if she is reluctant to give you a paw or let you touch her somewhere.

Hey your dog is ok and you're ok, that's all that matters.

Don't let some drunk/drugged ape ruin your day.

Paul.k.b.90 · 20-04-2015 08:05PM

I would flip the lid if I saw someone kick my dog

I found my dog..bunch of lads at the time I say late teens early 20s chasing him trying to kick him and throw things..the dog got aggressive because they backed him into a corner and they went off..poor dog was limping with cuts on his shoulders and stuff. Went over to him and he took a a few nicks outta my arms before he let me touch him.. trip to the vets and the rescue centre advertising him as missing for 2 months checking for mico-chips etc.

4 years later and he now enjoys tearing up my back garden

Hope your dogs OK OP..jsut keep an eye for the next couple days. some people are sick

poeticmakaveli · 20-04-2015 08:06PM

A box into the mouth that fella would want and I can guarantee he wouldn't be long coming back to his senses! Scumbag!! Can't stand the dirt that's around now,and that's from all walks of life in this country,not just the likes of him!

molly09 · 20-04-2015 08:06PM

That is absolutely unreal, it seems the man may be in need of medical attention. Hopefully the guards will get him and get him the help that he needs. You little dog is absolutely gorgeous. I hope that you and your dog will be ok tonight. I totally understand what you mean about the anxiety, maybe a friend or someone could accompy you and your dog on the same walk tomorrow.
Hope ye both are ok xx

Luckydog69 · 20-04-2015 08:06PM

Your poor little doggie...how could anybody hurt an animal....hope she is OK and don't suffer any aftershock...she is so cute....I would love this a**hole to try and kick my 9 st beast, speaking of which he is pawing me for his evening stroll...give your little one an extra treat before bedtime tonight!

poeticmakaveli · 20-04-2015 08:06PM

Your dog is beautiful by the way!!

Tigger · 20-04-2015 08:06PM

Don't know what to say
If someone hurt my dogs I'd go mental but if it was my wife Who was there I'd want her to do exactly what you did
No point getting a kicking if there is nothing you can do
I hope you can get some resolution here that this won't happen again
Otherwise I suppose you should rescue a pitbull as a friend for your little doggy

Darkglasses · 20-04-2015 08:07PM

Bastard, sorry to hear it Links, hope the dog's ok.

wp_rathead · 20-04-2015 08:09PM

Sorry to hear Links

LadyAthame · 20-04-2015 08:14PM

She is lovely Links. She will be fine hopefully and bouncing around tomorrow. I understand it must have felt like a threat to you to. But it will pass. xx

Teyla Emmagan · 20-04-2015 08:16PM

I'm so sorry Links. What a horrible and needless attack. I hope yourself and your lovely dog are okay.

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?

Yep - I'm not violent at all, but if you touch my dog I'll put your head through a fcukin mincer.

Hope your dog's OK Links

Yamanoto · 20-04-2015 08:19PM

If he were with a group of rough friends he was trying to impress (the mind boggles), it might explain his actions.

The fact he was alone and giving dogs walked by random passers-by a kicking & muttering to himself really does point to a mental health issue IMO.

Redser87 · 20-04-2015 08:21PM

Your dog is absolutely dotey. Hope she and you are both over the shock. What an awful thing for someone to do!

KomradeBishop · 20-04-2015 08:23PM

Sorry to hear that, what a shít thing for someone to do; it does sound like he was off his head or such, and perfectly understandable that you reacted the way you did - nothing to be having second thoughts over there.

I'd second others suggestions of finding a good/engrossing distraction, just to get your mind off of it - the anxiety is probably mostly adrenaline, and will inevitably last a while, but will wear off eventually, especially given some good distractions.

Can you skip the coffee if you're anxious Links? It might aggravate it a bit. If you have any camomile tea it might be better at calming you?
