Wolves very rarely attack human beings, so there is really no excuse for an owner of a violent dog. It's them that need putting down...

The worst my lurcher will do is roll on her back and show you her pudenda.

If you can't prevent your dog jumping all over other dogs, strangers and/or their picnic or tent or whatever, then they should keep them on a lead at all times. Bloody fecks me off when you hear 'oh he doesn't bite ha ha ha ha'. The owners are more annoying if anything, for the fact that you are supposed to find is as entertaining as they evidently do.

Yes,I agree.Your local Police (I don't know where you are ?) must be total rubbish if they don't even know the law regarding dogs roaming the streets....perhaps one of them is the owner,or a relative,or something? ...it all sounds very fishy to me! Anyway, I would sue the owner AND the Police,and if I saw an unsupervised dog running around outside my house,biting people,I would persuade it to desist with my nice new "Draper" garden spade.
       Oh yes,and my partner,Wild Flying Dove,has two dogs,a Poodle and a Hovercraft ( or it sounds like that),and they're both delightful ! (so is she!!). Get well soon-----meanwhile,I will track down some left-handed toilet -tissue for you.

I quite like dogs, but they have been a problem to us in that we have an autistic son, and, like many autistic people he is scared of dogs, possibly because of their unpredictable behaviour.

Most dog owners realise this when they see us approaching and will hold their dogs close while we pass, but you get the occasional one who thinks that the dogs on a lead bit doesn't apply to them.

I agree it's the owners rather than the dogs. Man and dog have been in a symbiotic relationship for centuries but maybe we need to rethink the whole pets thing. Many dogs are just a lifestyle accessory to go in the Range Rover.

Police are required to deal with any stray dog immediately.

Or maybe you should take up the zaqq.

Weimaraners are usually pretty good. They are a hunt-point-retrieve dog and should be soft-mouthed. My Benjamin is a border-cross and I do not take him to festivals precisely because he is rather territorial - and likes to chase things, even though he is getting older. Sheep could be quite a problem! On the other hand he is useful for deterring burglars.

Why not bring civil proceedings for damages? There you only have to prove your case "on the balance of probabilities" not "beyond reasonable doubt".

If you check your buildings and/or contents insurance you may find you have cover that may enable you to get your insurance company to pay for suing the dog-owner.

"The dog was out on its own, in the street, no owner or muzzle or anything."

That's just not on (for other people and the dog), and what gets the rest of us dog owners a bad name. Why these idiots are allowed to keep animals is beyond me.

OK, OK, I'm sure dogs can be lovely, especially if you are their owner.

Really I'm just letting off steam as a way of getting 'closure'. The police may have closed their file, but that doesn't help me, or my wife who is now terrified to go out in the street. Perhaps we'll just have to drive everywhere (stuff the planet, dogs have their rights).

Where I live, dogs that bite dont live long.Details on request.

Our Labrador retriever, Seamus, would never bite anyone or anything.If he ever did I would have him put down because he would be a very sick dog.

i am with leadfingers on this, it is the same with children i think.
there are some parents that let their kids get away with anything, don't care where they are or who they are with.
it can be the same with dog owners, was the owner with the dog when it bit you g-force?

i would hate the owner if i were you.
i feel sorry for you,i know from experiance how hard it is to have to wipe your' arse with the wrong hand!!

our dogs are under very strict control while we are with them, but have been a couple of times aggressive when we have left them, which we have taken total responsabality(?) for.
the fault has been entirely ours at festivals when we have forgotten to shorten the chains they are on, which normally isn't a problem, we have now sorted that out now, since we do not want it to happen again.

now we have a caravan, they no longer escape from the car, ..who knew that a dog could squeeze his head through a gap that is smaller than his head???(2-3 inches).

the dog owner should have been brought in front of a court at least for loss of earnings and truama from the attack.

i hope your' arm gets better soon, please don't write off all dogs and owners,most of us as with parents try to do a good job.

take care

Maybe the dog was telling you it didn't like your music?

Dogs are nasty, noisy, unhygeinic and dangerous, what is the point of them?

According to Wikipedia the Weimaraner is the 21st most intelligent breed of dog, so god save us from all the even-more-stupid ones.

In the early days of the space program they used to send dogs up in rockets. Shame they stopped really.

Did I mention that I hate dogs?

Not BS, because I'm posting as a grounded concertina player. Why? Because some effing Weimaraner has decided to sink its teeth into my right arm. And I can't get Plod to have the dog taken away or put down, because they won't take my word as 100% positive ID and without that they won't take the case to court.

So the owner is laughing his bollocks off, he's got off scot free and the dog is still there (better hide your kids).

Meanwhile I'm stuck at home with my bandaged arm in a sling, I can't sleep at night, I'm popping antibiotics until they're squirting out of my arse (which I'm having to try and wipe left-handed), contemplating the bloody arrogance of dog-owners, and I can't even play my concertina.

Something is wrong with this picture.
