Dogs have their own personalities, just like people do. Anybody who gets a dog and thinks it's just going eat, crap and bark is in for a surprise. You should expect the drama that comes with having a dog, and not just the cute puppy that made you go "awww".

This is a huge problem in that people do not understand the work that goes into looking after a pet. If they had more understanding as opposed to just thinking of them as property, but saw them as beings much like ourselves, many of these problems would not occur.

+1 .... it's such a pity that even the neanderthals are allowed to own animals too.

Possibly replace the spikes with electric fencing or something less impaling? ;)

I think we are all in agreement that no matter how naughty one's animal is, that dragging it down the road or cutting its head off with a chainsaw is not an acceptable form of punishment.

If an animal cannot be trained by the custodians and still persists with behaviour that is disruptive or unruly, best to call in an Animal Behaviourist to assist. There is always a reason for errant behaviour and it can be trained out of them with a hard work and a LOT of patience.

I can totally understand this fathers anger. If a dog ever laid so much as a bad breath on one of my kids I'll shoot it, but most certainly not torture it like this.

Would like some more info as to why it bit the kid as well. With a dad like this, I would put money on it being provoked.

Maybe the dog saw the baby as a threat to its territory? Anybody seen that show The Dog Whisperer? Its an amazing show and this guy points out how animals behave really strangely and often times for the simplest reasons.

Drag the child behind a car and say it was naughty and hurt the dog.

I want to beat that man.

EDIT: Actually no shame, the child isn't the culprit. Don't drag the child. Rip all the guys skin off and cut out his eye and tongue and see how he feels.

I hope he can never teach again and hates himself for the rest of his (hopefully) short life.

What breed of dog is it? There are dog repellent sprays that do work and as DJK has advocated, training does go a long way. Association is a good start.

I too can understand his anger. If some one hurt a member of my family I too would want retribution, but I would not by any stretch of the imagination do anything that remotely resembles this sort of reaction. Somehow I doubt that the child was severly injured or even superficially as there is no indication that the child had to be hospitalised or even had to see a physician.

The question is, would you shoot a person if they laid a bad breath on your child? I doubt it as the penalty for doing so would be very severe. Just because they are a different species does not entitle us to different forms of retribution.

There are better and more, dare I say it, humane ways of dealing with issues such as this.

Difficult to quantify or prove without witnesses, but it is a valid point. Many questions arise. Was the dog previously socialised? How old was the child? Was the dog treated properly in the first place?

It happens in many cases (and we have many cases where the animals are immediately taken to the pound due to the mere possibility of it being slightly put out that there was a new being in the family). The same applies when an established pet gets subjected to a new four-legged friend being introduced. There has to be a level of tolerance and understanding as opposed to an immediate emotional reaction.

No, the child is not to blame. I feel dreadfully sorry for that child as he/she will learn what their parent did and will either live with the shame or become exactly the same as the father (which is very likely given the lenient sentence that will in all probability be meted out on the man.

Why was the dog given the chance to "attack" the child, where were the parents ???

I have 4 beautiful dogs and a baby to arrive in the next couple of months, i will be making sure i am around every second that he interacts with the dogs and if something happens i will take it out on myself not the dog.

Yeah I could not agree with this more. Dogs and children usually don't mix. When I was 6yrs old I was attacked by my aunts dog, an Afghan something, those dogs with long hair. Anway I just tried to pat it and it pretty much put my entire face in its mouth, I still have the scars, wasn't bad just a tiny puncture wound.

Anway after watching this show The Dog Whisperer I can understand that dogs pick up on a vibe and they will usually attack if they sense fear. I was scared of this dog long before I tried to pat it and I reckon it sensed that.

Long story short, parent should strictly monitor children around dogs at all times.

Very well put. Parents should rather shoulder the responsibility instead of shirking it and finding excuses for their lack of foresight.

It is so very easy to blame others for one's own mistakes or flaws.

Some dogs and kids do not mix, but I have seen many dogs who absolutely adore children.

Nail-on-head with regards last statement.

To everyone that has advocated support for the murder and/or torture of the person who was involved in dragging the dog behind the car :

You are guilty of precisely the same attitude which you find reprehensible in that man. He did something you find to be disagreeable (hurting the dog), just like the dog did something he didn't like (biting his kid).

So to all the would-be murderers and torturers, please do the rest of civilised humanity a favour and remove yourself from the human genepool. Thanks.
