Warning after little Buster bitten in park (From Echo)

Muzzle dogs in public, then they can't bite people or other animals. I know people will say its not the dogs fault its the how the owner brings it up. But at the end of the day everyone must admit its true, a muzzeld dog won't be able to bite anything or anyone.

Totally agree all dogs should be kept on a lead in public places , I have 2 dogs and when I walk them they are always on their leads , one of them does not like other dogs and I am constantly telling people with dogs off lead to keep them away , it should be law that digs must be on a lead

muzzle dogs will not work because not all dogs can wear a muzzle.
owners need to learn to keep them on the lead

I have a labrador, who go's training once a week, she is no problem off the lead, and, i know she would not bite another dog, i just think all dangerous dogs should be on a lead, then there will be no harm done to dogs and the public!!

All dogs have the potential to be dangerous. Why wait until one bites someone or another dog then put it on a lead? It's too late then.

You are very lucky to be able to know exactly what is going on in your dogs mind. If only all dogs owners had the same supernatural abilities as you.

sometimes i do wonder if its the owners not the dogs that need muzzles,esp that breed of tracksuit and baseball cap and tattoed species ,but i agree i have a little shiba inu ? google it ? and keep him on a lead ...

i have a good way for people like you and that is giving your bog a boot up the ****.

do you want my dog to kill you or cat to **** on your grass???

do you want my dog to kill you or cat to **** on your grass???

i didn't mean that in a aggresive way i mean do you want a dog to attack you on a cat to poo on your grass what would you choose ....

Have to agree , anyone who says but my dog is friendly it doesnt need a lead ... Well my dog is not friendly and is always on a lead so if your friendly dog runs over to me and my dog bites it is that my fault?? I think not , all dogs on leads solves the problem all dogs under control then no one gets bitten !

Yes my dog was attacked by a boxer dog as a puppy and is therefore terrified of other dogs , however because of her fear her reaction is to bite other dogs first ...she will go for any dog that comes near her so is always on a lead , if the owner of the dog that attacked her had kept his dog on a lead she would not have this problem in the first place

Neither thanks! If, as an owner, you train your dog and keep it on a lead, it's highly unlikely it would kill anyone, and if you buy a litter tray and don't let the cat out until it's used it daily, neither would be likely to happen. Quite frankly, I'd rather have a dog any day, they're good company, loveable and worth it. Sick of other people's crappy cats shredding pidgeons that we're trying to feed in our garden and crapping in it, for our young child to step in and then spread round the house.

There is always two sides to every story, 'poor little buster' actually attacked the 'Husky type dog' first. Even if the dog was on a lead they could still bite, if retaliating.
I can not believe the Echo have nothing better to report on than normal dog behaviour!

I'm sorry but this makes no sense at all regardless of which dog bit first this incident would never have happened if the husky was on a lead as it would not have been anywhere near buster !! The husky owner is 100 percent to blame keep your dog on a lead !

Even if that's the case, the point is, Buster was on a lead with his owner, the other dogs weren't and approached him. If they had been on a lead with their owner, this wouldn't have happened. Read some of the above comments.

you cant always keep dogs apart lead or not, are you saying you cross the road when walking past another dog if they are both on leads i think not!

That's exactly what I do , as a responsible dog owner !

i must say i have dogs all my life and its down to the owner how your puppy turns out, some people get dogs they cannot control, you see it all the time owners running after there dogs, because they will not come back. i call my dog and she is back at side. if my dog was dangerous, i would not let it off the lead, all animals even dogs with a good temprement may bite if someone went to harm it, so if you know your dog would, keep it on a lead!!

Couple of points here:

In the article Gerald states "“I understand dogs will be dogs, but he has never been attacked so badly before that it has gone through his fur.""

To me, it appears that from this, that it is not the first time this dog has been "attacked" by other dogs, which begs the question, why? Most dogs do not generally attack other dogs for the sake of it, I am therefore led to believe that "Buster" may have instigated the attack. This being the reason that Gerald always keeps him on the lead.

Secondly, it stated ""Over the past year or so there have been a couple who have got three large huskies""

This sounds like these "three" Huskies live in harmony with each other, as they clearly are trusted to walk off the lead and live together, they obviously do not attack each other so why would the all of a sudden attack another dog?

Also it mentions "in the past Year" so that also sounds like there has not been a problem with these dogs before, if it was an escalating issue why was nothing mentioned sooner and dealt with then?

I believe that dog owners have the right to walk their dogs on or off a lead as they deem fit, as generally people have a good judgement with their animals, obviously there are exceptions to this. From what im getting in the article above is that this is a very minor and isolated issue that has been blown out of proportion..

echoreader stop trying to twist it , the other dogs wernt on leads and attacked buster end of story !!!!!!

Twist what? I am simply conveying pints that are clearly printed in the article.

You have chosen to blame the owners of the huskies, without looking in to the article fully, simply concentrating on the fact the dogs were not on a lead.

All three huskies were not on a lead, why would only one of them choose to attack Buster? - Try looking at the full story.

I'm not saying that a dog attacking another dog is right, but it appears that the majority of the comments here are very narrow minded.

maybe we should interview the huskies owners get their side of the story maybe you will then not be so quick to pass judgement.

No I can deny that! Simply because there is no evidence that would suggest that they wouldn't have.

What I'm trying to articulate is that that there is more to the story than what has been published, and you people are quick enough to pass blame, on the basis that the huskies' were not on a lead. All three were not on the lead, Only one dog bit buster! Answer me this. What did buster do to the husky to warrant being bitten?

Oh, you don't know, why? Perhaps, you have not heard the full account.

Go away, analyse the article and then think!

What did buster do to warrant being bitten !! What a statement ...my dog is scared of other dogs , my dog will bit other dogs , therefore my dog is kept on a lead ...my dog will bark at other dogs , if they are of lead and retaliate at my dogs barking that is their owners fault !!
Whatever buster did he did not deserve to be attacked he was on a lead the other dogs were not therefore the only fault lies with the huskys owner . If a dog off lead approaches my dog on lead and my dog bites it then it is the other owners fault for not keeping their dog under control , and before you say it yes we have tried obedience classes and a dog psychologist , both of whom say my dogs aggression is fear based after being attacked by another dog as a puppy , despite months of working with her she can still be aggressive to other dogs so for their safety and her own she is kept on a lead .

er buster warrented bein bitten by existing ? if the huskys were on a lead he wldnt of been bitten? wat part of that do you fail 2 understand ? its not rocket science or quantum physics ?? the dog wld nt of bitten buster because it wld of been controled nt runnin loose ? and buster didnt provoke the nasty mr husky because i interviewed him after the event and he stated to me that mr husky didnt like da way he was lookin at him and thout he was eyeing up mr huskys **** ! so he wrongly bit him ??? those are da facts your honour ...

you can not say it wouldn't have happened, i have been walking my dog at a market before by my side, when i walked past another dog 'WHO WAS ON A LEAD' and he attacked my dog.

This could happen in the street or the entrance to a park.

Fed up with people like you who think its ok to let your dogs go. I sugget you get a big garden then he can run around as much as he likes. I take it you pick his poo up then aswell i find that hard to believe. If your dog was so good why does it require training?

mr husky is going to be charged wiv g b h and shortly will be in custody , on a lighter note make sure your dog does not eat slush that has been treated wiv rock salt or lick his paws it is known to cause kidney failure and is dangerous ???

And if it does and both dogs was on a lead you can pull them aways but if one wasnt how are you supposed to stop it?

It was not a statement, it was a question!

Is this article about your dog? or about Geralds' god Buster?

Again you have taken the line that its the owners fault for not having the dog on a lead. We know the gods was not on leads. Agreed, and yes the oners made that choice! However, im sure that this would not have been the first time the Huskies were walked off the lead, and there is no mention of any previous incidents, neither with Buster or any other dogs. Therfore we must assume these dogs have interacted with other dogs in Easwood Park, without incident.

Why was buster any differet?

I assume that buster attacked the husky, and the husky then defended its self. (which would re inforce my previous comment about this notbeing the first time bust had been bitten)

This would then mean that Gerald is unable to control his dog even when it is on the lead, and if that the case, is it safe to walk him in a public place at all?

the judges and jury will decide when all evidence has been presented to them ???

Absolute rubbish , Gerald would I'm sure be more than capable of controlling his dog if other people had the decency and responsibility to do the same thing .....it does not sound to me like buster dragged his owner across the park to attack the huskies ....the huskies approached him therefore it is them that is not under control

I'm certain that this will not in the case. It would be laughed out of court, simply being as it is one stroy against another!

actually i have it frm a reliable source that this case is being heard in the old bailey in april , the police are currently colecting dna and other evidence and will quite poss be televised , sarcasm is just anuver service i offer ....

Thanks for this helpful piece of advice. It's easy to think that taking your dog out is ok and there aren't hidden dangers like rock salt that can be harmful to them.
My dog is always on the lead and if I think a dog that is approaching is going to antagonise mine or vice versa, I cross the road and make a fair distance between them.

I'm with TheEchoreader1983 on this one.
Everydaypeople: How sure are you regarding Gerald?. Would you put your house on it?. I don't think so.

The only conclusion I have reached from reading these posts is that nobody will ever admit being to blame and it is always someone elses fault.

And you wonder why one of your dogs doesn't like other when you are failing to socialise them. It annoys me when people who never let there fog off the lead seem to be able to run the country and come up with ridiculous rules about creating animals rather than well mannered dogs. If owners fail to understand all the needs of a dog then they shouldn't be allowed to keep them.

All dogs have the potential to be dangerous. Why wait until one bites someone or another dog then put it on a lead? It's too late then.

That is true, all dogs go have the potential to be dangerous, but at least she is taking responsibility of her dog by taking her training.

On the flip side, all humans have the potential to be dangerous, so why should the police wait until a crime happens before they do something, all humans should be in straight jackets as to not commit an offence. Does this sound fair...... I didn't think so!!!!!!!

3 questions for you....

1: why do you need a staffie.

2: as you said your dog is dangerous, why then do you take it around where other dogs are likely to come up to you.

3: do you think its 'cool' to have a dangerous dog and not be a responsible owner and try to change its behaviour.

And just by reading your post I can tell your one of those people that allow your dog to run amock off lead !! If you read my other posts you will see why my dog has a problem and the steps I have taken to rectify it ! But it's quite simple really keep your dog on a lead away from my dog and problem solved , take some responsibility !

And just by reading your post I can tell your one of those people that allow your dog to run amock off lead !! If you read my other posts you will see why my dog has a problem and the steps I have taken to rectify it ! But it's quite simple really keep your dog on a lead away from my dog and problem solved , take some responsibility !

My dog is allowed off lead as she is well trained, but if she misbehaves or someone asks i put her back on lead. A problem with owners (this is not directed at you) do not understand how dogs think or behave as the animal they are. This is why the dog training courses i have done, am still doing and the countless books i have on the subject allow me to know more about them. Also a lot of owners do not trust their dog, but it may be they do not trust themselves or want to be in control of their dog and for the dog to respect that.

And you wonder why one of your dogs doesn't like other when you are failing to socialise them.

Whilst I respect that you are obviously a responsible owner who clearly knows and trusts your dogs behaviour and has taken the time to educate yourself on the matter , your statement that if your dog misbehaves you put her back on the lead only strengthens my belief that all dogs should be on a lead ....sometimes by the point the dog misbehaves the damage is already done

When I say 'misbehaves' I mean when she does not listen to me and moves away from me upon my command. She has never shown any true aggression or willingness to attack to hurt another dog or human in fact, she will however let the a dog know when it has overstepped the mark. Anything more and she knows in there to deal with it.

This topic in general involving dog attacks needs to be dealt with from the very start, as in why certain owners want certain breeds. Keeping them on a lead will only make the dogs behaviour worse. Imagine a 9 stone dog wanting to escape from being attacked but the owner keeps hold of the lead, who will get hurt more, the dog or the human when their own dog turns on them so the dog can escape to protect itself as the owner cannot.

First off, cats are amazing.
Secondly, just an observation really, never take news articles at facts, read between the lines, question what you have read.
Two sides my friend, two sides!

Perhaps you should read up on effects of T.gondii on the human brain.

Infection rates are high with exposure to cats obviously being the biggest risk. There's no cure and it's linked to things as widespread as brain cancers, schizophrenia, decreased reaction times, suicides, a six fold increase in the risk of car crashes, behavioral changes, hallucinations... The list goes on and on.

The biggest amount of sh i t ive possibly read in my life.

Given that you've probably only managed the Beano and Viz in the past, I'm actually really pleased to hear that you read it.

I only picked that article as it is interesting from the human angle. If you want to explore the topic further, I think you'll find the effects of T.gondii on dopamine production in the human brain are indisputable. There are numerous studies to support this.

From your reaction I suspect that the scientific community should also note that T.gondii can cause incredulity in internet trolls.

this man lives down the same road as me, and my dog too has been attacked by these huskies and they have been a huge problem in the area, iv seen the owner walking all three dogs in high heels and clearly cannot control them. these dogs attacked my dog so badly that he needed stitches, so now when we walk our dog around eastwood park and we see those dogs coming towards us we scoop the dog up and run! these three dogs are acting as a pack when off the lead and all the dog walkers i know will avoid going to the park at certain times as we know the huskies will be there!

the husky owner wears hi heels ,that puts a diff light on it , she sounds like my kinda women ! wearin hi heels to walk her dog wish there were more dog owners that dressed that way deff my type lol!!! but the dogs were outa order but she sounds fit !!!

Just to mention I do know the address of these people if they can't be found

Dear Readers, Thank you for your many reports, some my wife and I agree with and some we do not, but every-one is entitles to there own opinions. I mainly keep Buster on a lead to keep him at my side, he is a typical Terrier and would be off like a shot if I allowed him to, also I take very seriously in picking up any mess Buster makes in our daily, two journeys around Eastwood Park . If there is any doubts in anyones mind, Buster does not have it in his nature to attack another dog, he will 'look after him self' if another dog tries to attack him, there has been one other episode before, but that was soon over. This time with the huskies was all three of them ganging up on Buster, at the same time, which had him howling in fright and pain, leaving him bleeding in two places, not badly, but very upsetting for both of us. In fact it only stopped because one of the huskies bit and opened his harness, allowing him to escape. I hope this clarifies the situation as I only went to the police and the Echo with this story, in the hope it will not happen to another dog owner, plus I was not happy by the couldent care less attitude of the husky owners.
Yours, G.Mance

I am writing in response to the article printed in the Echo of 9th February, 2012 concerning the alleged attack in Eastwood Park on the terrier named Buster.



I am the owner of the two Siberian Huskies, Neo and Kya, and the Alaskan Malamute named Storm. I take the dogs to the park regularly and have been doing so for over seven years. During that time, they have played frequently with dogs both large and small. Outside of the environment of the park, they are always kept on their leads, but by being allowed to run around in the park, they are able to release their energies with healthy exercise, and on the day in question were enjoying playing in the snow.



On the day of the reported incident, I was accompanied by my father-in-law. My male husky Neo, having seen Buster, went over to sniff around where Buster was standing, a natural canine habit. Whilst I appreciate that Mr. Mance was not to know that my dogs are not vicious, he became rude, very defensive of Buster, and started swearing at me. At this point, my female husky Kya approached. I understand that it is in the nature of a terrier to be aggressive, and Buster may well have felt intimidated being faced with two larger dogs who were just being inquisitive. However, Buster attacked Kya and naturally she retaliated. In the meantime, my malamute Storm was more interested in greeting Mr. Mance than Buster.



As Mr. Mance did not allow me to engage in conversation with him and just kept swearing at me, I was unable to ascertain if there were any problems with Buster. However, I wish to make clear that this was not an attack of three dogs against one but an exchange between Mr. Mance's dog Buster and my dog Kya, who was acting in her own self-defence. Having read your article, I contacted PC Louise Wilson who has passed on my apologies to Mr. Mance for any problems that may have arisen from the incident.

Its amazing that so many people who think they are worthy of an opinion on a news story will read an article and not have the common sense to realise that only 1 side of this story has been printed and presume to judge when they are so ill-informed. It appears that you who condem are the people who should hang your head in shame, not the husky owner. And clearly Busters owner should in fact put a muzzel on him to make sure he cannot "start" on other dogs when they approach him as clearly this would not have happened had Buster not taken the first "bite".
Shame on you Mr Mance for being so aggresive in teh first place as it obviously made Buster aggresive too (any dog owner will know that a dog picks up on their owners feelings), But then if the first thing on your mind was to run to the paper for a few minutes of fame, then it doesnt surprise me you had no time for her.
