someone just kicked my dog

Links, that is just awful, poor puppy and poor you. But you are both safe now, so try to relax for the evening with the little one. Take care of yourselves.
With any luck, that piece of pond scum who did this will step in front of a bus tonight. :mad:

Or get bitten by a huge dog.

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?

eh, ooops

FouxDaFaFa · 20-04-2015 08:53PM

Links, so sorry to hear that. I've met your dog and she is absolutely tiny and just a nice, sweet animal.

A man acting in a similar way passed by outside my work today, yelling and talking to himself. (Didn't see him actually act out at anyone). I recognise him from causing aggro before but he's new to Galway so wouldn't be a "face about town", if you get me. I'll PM you a description.

What a b*stard,if it was my pooch I'd disappear into the nearest construction site and emerge with a length of rebar...straight to the back of his legs

Gbear · 20-04-2015 08:55PM

I never get over how tough dogs are.

The odd time I'd leather the **** out of my dog and sure, she'd be grand afterwards...:pac:

Nah. I do occasionally trip over her though or step on her toes. Or she thumps her head off the corner of a table. Barely even seems to notice.

Humans are softies. Dogs are tough as old boots.

Even if yours is a tiny thing I'm sure she'll be grand.

mushu · 20-04-2015 09:05PM

Hope you're feeling a bit better Links.
I don't understand how anyone could hurt such a cute dog

toastedpickles · 20-04-2015 09:09PM

Similar thing happened to me and my dog when he was very old, local scobe thought it would be a good idea to show off infront of the young wans and kick him in the stomach

He thought very wrong

Links234 · 20-04-2015 10:14PM

I'm still very shaken

had to go to the shop to get some milk before it closed, and I was just a ball of nerves.

my dog, she's one in a million, she's the sweetest little thing in the world, and she pulled me out of a very dark place years ago. there was a time I was so wracked with anxiety that I could barely leave the house, sometimes going weeks or even months without stepping outside, I could hardly go outside without suffering a panic attack. This little bundle was given to me, a blanket with a tiny puppy inside that was so small she could fit in the palm of my hand, and she changed my life, she brought me out into the world again. I don't have the words to describe how precious she is to me, she is my guardian angel and she saved my life. I don't want to be scared of going outside again

Crumpets · 20-04-2015 10:27PM

I actually feel a bit nauseous after hearing this. My god there are some twisted individuals out there. Your dog is an absolute dote OP, how could anything do such a thing? Heartless scumbag.

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.

How foolish.

Well, Links234's first priority was looking after her dog, which she did.

I suspect the doggie would be more traumatised watching it's owner get battered than from the kick.

Indeed but I was not referencing links here at all, what Links did was the right thing for her do to at the time for sure.

However the other comment I referenced was belonging to someone else who felt the other option was right for them if it happened to them at the time.

Everyone is different and not everyone reacts the same to a situation.

kylith · 20-04-2015 11:09PM

Poor doggie, OP. I hope that bastard's leg falls off.

Neyite · 21-04-2015 12:09AM

I'm so sorry to hear this Links. Your doggy was lovely and gentle the day I met you both, how someone could kick her is despicable.

niallo27 · 21-04-2015 01:54AM

Isnt it crazy the way we love our dogs, I am really angry reading this. The poor dog, i read the thread about your man getting hit with the crowbar and i could not care less about him but someone kicks a dogs and i want that person to die a painfull death.

Dozer Dave · 21-04-2015 02:03AM

This story is not adding up one bit, i think some information is missing like the dog bit the stranger in the back of the leg and he took revenge. I used work for a contractor who worked in council estates and the amount of dogs that bit me and attempted I have lost count. Confronted theirs owners and they look on their dog as god, seeing it through rose tinted glasses.

I doubt it. There are plenty of **** in this world who would do such a thing as this for nothing.

kylith · 21-04-2015 07:41AM

I've had scumbags scream or stamp at my dogs hoping that they'll react, probably so they can sue me. Cnuts, the lot of them.

AndyBoBandy · 21-04-2015 07:42AM

If you ever see kicker again, be sure to take photo of him,

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.

Clearly made up daydream on your part .Why do people make up such things ?

This is true. Some react well, others react foolishly.:)

What you need OP is some pepper spray, if it happens again, spray the f!cker in the face and give him a swift kick in the balls.

Humans are softies. Dogs are tough as old boots.

Dogs are pack animals and don't like to show fear as it's a weakness or hurt because it would make them vulnerable within the pack.

Dogs do feel pain, so mind your big clumsy feet. :P

I'm more worried about people like this walking around than people who kick dogs.

Unfortunately, brushes with this class of individual are a part of life.

I was walking downtown one evening in Galway, minding my own business and just enjoying the sunshine, when I suddenly got a kick out of no-where across my back.

I stopped and turned around in surprise, and this lad - and lad is a kindness towards his description - was just standing there with a bottle of buckfast in his hand.

I honestly didn't know what to do, it's just the sort of thing that you simply don't expect to happen, and I stared at him, and he said 'What are you gonna do about it, you ****ing ****?"

I know the internet is full of tough men, and you would imagine that you might respond with similar force, but I was so shocked I honestly didn't know what to do except keep looking at him.

After a few more threats to my life I just walked on and left it, but I honestly have never been as thrown out in my life as that experience. It's a totally different ball game to a built-up fight.

My only hope is that someday, scumbags like the one that kicked your dog, will simply pick on the wrong person. I saw it happen once, a guy I know was part of a circle that used to sort of pick on people on nights out - not necessarily violent, but nasty comments.

He said something to one lad outside a shop at 2am, trying to goade a response, next thing your man just stops, looks at him, and headbutts him faster than you could blink, making a mess of his teeth and leaving him with blood streaming down his face, walks away before the lad even knew what had happened.

Take comfort in knowing that a similar destiny awaits the dickhead that kicked your dog.

Yeah, I agree. Jesus man, the guy got hit with a crowbar. No one is saying you have to choose which gets the most sympathy, but ffs don't roll with not giving a sh!te about yerman getting the crowbar in place of directing sympathy towards this dog.

That sort of unprovoked abuse of animals is awful.

I will add though that I've kicked dogs in the past myself. On two occasions we've been walking in public parks and dogs not on leash have started jumping up on the kids frightening the hell out of them.

Agreed. Done it myself too on a beach once when a fairly large dog running free jumped up on my daughter who was around 5 at the time. The dog owner was horrified but if it's a dog or my kid well.....

This is obviously something quite different sadly.

someone just kicked my dog
