re: Neighbors dog attacked my dog

Horrible. Hope your dog is ok.

His dog was outside first. Your wife is responsible.

False. My wife was outside with our dogs. His GF opened the door and let his dog out without looking to see if our dogs were back there first.

Learn to read hombre.

Kill his dog, kick his arse and frick his woman.

I know you're upset because your dog is injured, but goddamn, not everyone is Cesar Milan and know exactly how a dog is going to react to another dog. They're very unpredictable sometimes.

You should just accept their apology and offer to pay medical bills and be done with it. Just have to be more careful with the dogs since you share a backyard.

The neighbor's gf is the only one with ANY blame here, unless you wanna blame all parties for not introducing the dogs ahead of this. The dog did absolutely zero wrong. He went out into his own yard and found a strange dog there and defended the property.

hey look everyone, reason is here.

If you don’t know how your dog is going to react to another dog, then you’re a bad owner who doesn’t know their own dog.

Yep. OP your neighbor is a POS that should have known how his dog was going to react or erred on the side of caution because he didn't know how your dogs would react.

ETA: Also, frick your neighbor's GF for not paying attention when letting the dog out.

What’s the exact issue?

Dogs fight. Y’all broke it up. No one has any injuries or should need medical attention.

Get the frick over it

this. the guy has offered to pay the medical bills, I don't see what the problem is here. shite happens

You share a backyard with your neighbor?

I never write that and I only edited for typos.

To paint a picture: my wife was standing outside in the backyard with our two dogs. His girlfriend opens the door to let their dog out, but does not immediately come outside with it. His dog runs up to one of mine, snuffs it for a second, and then attacks. My dog lets out a very loud scream because she didn’t expect the first bite and got snagged near the ear pretty good. Both women start screaming. I hear this and run outside to find the neighbors dog aggressively biting on the neck of my dog. Both women are crying because they cannot separate them. My dog is crying badly because she is hurt and scared. My other dog was trying to fight the bigger dog off, but failing. Neighbor also heard the noise and comes running outside. I grab my dog by the hind legs, he grabs his dog but the mouth/Head. His hands come out pretty bloody and I’m covered in shite from my dog.


I agree that his gf is really the only one who fricked up. Everyone else handled things as best they could. I didn’t grow up with dogs and mine have never been aggressive, so seeing and stopping this behavior wasn’t something I was prepared for. I’ve learned how to handle it and we won’t find ourselves in this situation again.


It sounded and felt worse in the moment than it ended up being. Seeing the woman you love crying with blooded hands and an animal you love screaming out for help made me angry and protective. So yeah, I was emotional when I made the original post.
