People need to train their dogs and I’m not asking nicely anymore
#it’s kind of a sad situation actually and i don’t blame the owners so much in this situation
#but there’s this lab in my neighbourhood. he’s always been kind of a bit much but in a friendly way
#and when the woman who owns him used to walk him she had him super under control. he would walk close to her even if he was off leash
#and he was kind of barky but i never knew him to be aggressive
#well now the woman is in a home receiving care for alzheimers which is horrible; not least because she’s only about 50
#so her husband is now the only person who walks this dog. also he is a cop so he works long hours and doesn’t exactly have a ton of time
#to devote to giving this dog the level of exercise he needs. i really only see them walking at lunchtime and in the evening and it is short
#walks; which is nowhere near enough for a young (i think he’s 4-5) labrador
#hell; mabel (a 15.5 year old patterdale terrier) walks a little more often than he does and probably about as far
#so it’s obviously unacceptable. like. we had a flatcoated retriever some years back and he probably got 3 hours of exercise a day
#this lab probably gets half an hour if he’s lucky
#so it’s a big problem. he’s pulling his owner’s arm off; he’s jumping up at people; he’s barking… he’s full on
#and i still don’t think he’s aggressive but he’s certainly underexercised and badly socialised (was puppy/young dog during lockdown)
#i always keep mabel away from him because she has a tendency to psych out dogs by staring into their souls & he is kind of unpredictable
#my stepdad doesn’t know this though. and my stepdad was walking mabel today because i am still plagued by a hamstring injury
#long story short the lab mouthed mabel. i don’t think he bit her but he certainly lunged and got his mouth on her neck
#i managed to examine her after bribing her with an ice cube and her skin wasn’t red anywhere and there was no blood
#but her shoulder was damp with saliva and she keeps wincing away and trying to snap at your hand if you touch her neck or shoulder
#on that side; which to me indicates tenderness and probably a bruise forming (probably more from being butted with his huge snout
#rather than the actual mouthing itself)
#either that or me touching her reminds her of the incident and she now has a trauma and is upset
#which is heartbreaking tbh because my girl loooooves dogs. that’s why she stares at them and pulls you towards them
#she just doesn’t seem to understand that not all doggies or people are nice. i tried to explain to my stepdad like.. i don’t believe
#this dog is dangerous but you need to give him space because he does not like mabel and he probably nipped her because she freaked him out
#my stepdad doesn’t understand dogs. i’m not sure if he’s from planet earth honestly
#anyway the moral of the story is TRAIN YOUR FUCKING DOGS
#i feel sorry for the owner of the lab for a variety of reasons but the fact of the matter is that he would’ve been 100% responsible
#if his idiot dog had injured mabel. and also i would’ve come to his house and beaten him with a baseball bat if that was the case
#like i’m not afraid to get sent down for assaulting an officer. i think that is a great crime to commit
#like. hire a dog walker. go to obedience training. do SOMETHING
