 | | Barked: Sat Nov 7, '09 10:18am PST | |  | |  | | If this is an official park, there should be some rules governing how they handle these situations . . . I think at the official park here (I don't belong to it) the owners are supposed to exchange information, but there should also be some park overseeing authority that your friend may be able to call for guidance in this situation, maybe who can also talk to the woman with the claim and see exactly what the nature of the bill was. It would obviously have to be dated for between the day of the incident and when she came back . . . People get pretty irrational and emotional when it comes to their dogs, so it's difficult to say whether she has a legitimate claim or not . . . . it would be good to have a neutral party involved. |  |  | |  |

| | Barked: Sat Nov 7, '09 9:55pm PST | | | | | | What I don’t like about this is that we are basing it off of hearsay and speculation. I'm not saying the info is incorrect, but I am well aware of the exaggerated and inflated stories that happen at my park. I’m with Peter-Parker on this one, without being there; it seems that this lady is being unfairly targeted. Given what I have read, I would at least notify the dog park committee or county animal control just in case if I was the GD owner.
Dog fights happen, and when they do owners often overact and take evasive action to get their dog out of the situation, I believe that this could be the case here.
In my county, whether your animal is provoked or not, you are required to report all dog bite injuries to the county animal control if your dog was involved. | | | | |

non-dog people- are not to be- trusted! |
 | | Barked: Sun Nov 8, '09 8:53am PST | | | | | | Well as of yesterday, the owner of the small dog hasn't returned to talk to my friend. Also... a 3rd party said she believed that the bite happened from the 3rd dog (the one who doesn't like fights and was protecting my friends GD) who after my friend removed her GD, this third dog bite the smaller dog. She said, although it happened fast, she never saw my friends dog make contact with her mouth, but the other dog definitely did. I guess the owner of the dog that was positively seen making contact with his mouth, she was the person the lady talked to the day after, with a vet bill. I'm kinda annoyed she didn't say anything to the lady, letting my friends dog take all the blame.
Also... my friend did call Animal Control, and if and when the lady calls, they will come and talk to all that was there.
Thanks guys for your input. | | | | |

Let's go for a- walk! |
| | Barked: Sun Nov 8, '09 12:19pm PST | | | | | | Just the fact that she said nothing to your friend or anyone else and just grabbed her dog and left seems odd to me. I mean, isn't it common sense to check your dog there? At least have one word with the owner of the other dog?
If my dog were hurt, or I thought she were hurt, in an incident like that, my first concern would be to get my dog to the vet. Maybe you'd have a different set of priorties.
There's a lot about the details of the story we've been given that leads one to believe that the smaller dog started it, but the woman's rush to take her dog away does not suggest that she was trying to "rip off" anyone. No, not even the fact that she talked about going to the police.
And it's important to note that not only do we onl have one side of the story, we don't even have that from someone who was there. We have a second-hand account relayed by someone who would naturally (because it's her friend) be inclined to believe the Dane owner, without questioning lots of little details. This uncertainty doens't just apply to the behavior of the two dogs; it applies to the behavior of the people, too.
If the other dog started it, or even if he didn't, the best thing for the Dane owner to do is to report it first--before the other woman has a chance to. | | | | |

As my last post states, my friend did report this to the "doggie police" and they haven't heard from the lady with the complaint yet. Since no one knows who this dog or lady is, there is nothing to be done unless she complains herself. As far as witnesses, there are 2 people who say they will tell what they saw.
I really do hope that the dog wasn't hurt badly, regardless of what dog caused the injury. | | | | |
