Re: Unbelievable - Pregnant Woman Killed By Dogs!
Mups being tied up will certainly be contributing to his over boisterousness. I wonder how much exercise this poor boy gets.Re: Unbelievable - Pregnant Woman Killed By Dogs!
It's NOT a rescue centre! I've said before, it's just a lady living near my sister in an ordinary house but with masses of room in her back garden to accommodate these animals. It's my wording of 'animal care' because I didn't know how else to put it. True, she does take in some rescue pets in that sense, but it's not a rescue centre you are thinking of.Re: Unbelievable - Pregnant Woman Killed By Dogs!
Baxter8, he seems a happy dog, but I agree it's not healthy for him to be always tied up. He is probably used as a guard dog in that sense because of the horses and ponies that she has.Re: Unbelievable - Pregnant Woman Killed By Dogs!
It sounds like this woman has her heart in the right place and I think she is probably right he won't bite anyone. I'm not sure why she has to tie him up and leave him outside though. Does he have shelter?Re: Unbelievable - Pregnant Woman Killed By Dogs!
He has a kennel. Our mutual friend once suggested treats. Again I'll talk to the owner when I see her. Maybe I can buy a bag of dog treats and use them to gain his trust more. I just think he is being a typical dog and wants you to be with him. When I do pet him he's fine, as I said he offers his back to me for stroking.Re: Unbelievable - Pregnant Woman Killed By Dogs!
I wouldn't worry too much about him being outside all the time - if he was raised from a pup to be an outdoor dog, it won't bother him. My last rescue dog (a Springer working dog) was also an outside dog and it was a devil of a job getting him to come inside! Every time the backdoor opened, he'd race out, he just felt more comfortable outside. I think the only reason he's now happy indoors is because my younger dogs comes inside, he knows there are cuddles going when I'm watching telly and, maybe more importantly, he knows food originates from inside the house
