What would you have done
I will try to keep this short.
Today I took my dog to the dog park. I really love this park, the people are great and the dogs are nice, which is not always the case at other parks.
Now, I have a small dog, she weighs 13 lbs. And I don't let her play with certain types of dogs, for her own safety, because you never know how they were raised. So, i had her on the other side of the park where the small dogs were, and we were playing with a new friend and an old one,little charley, he is a 2 lb mix of something. As I am talking to the new friends owner I notice a large dog coming our way, no big deal the big dogs like to play too, but it was of questionable breed, if you get my drift. I didn't do anything at this point, I usually move Ruby away..he seemed alright...but then he started growling and he is looking at little charley, so as I am reaching for charley to get him away the big dog grabs him and starts beating him on the ground like a rag doll. I of course jump on top of the dog and try to wrestle charley from his jaws...it was the most horrible thing I have ever seen...all you could see was his little head and back feet coming out of his mouth...and he was screaming..I have never heard a sound like it..so, I am wrestling a huge dog screaming and beating it...and then out of nowhere, charleys brother jumps in the mix(another big dog) and is tearing the bad dog to shreads so he drops charley...so ...it gets broken up as charleys owner realizes what happened...and charley is ok..just very stunned and has some small puncture wounds
but, here is the bad part. The owner of the bad dog, just stood there watching. Made no move to help, offered no apologies...she in fact said "you are lucky my dog didn't kill yours" in a very nasty voice...her dog had no collar, which is a huge no-no in the park, so I had nothing to grab onto to pull him back...and then she just walked him to the other side of the park and let him go....I wanted to call the police, but charley's owner didn't..so we didn't.
If it had been my Ruby(who was right next to charley), I know what I would have done. I would be in jail right now, for beating her to a bloody pulp.And if she ever shows up again, we are going to have words.
what would you do? even as just a bystander I didn't know what to do after..
