My dog was attacked by 2 dogs on our walk!


by

Yesterday my husband and I went for a walk in a Conservation Park with our little Rescue Dog. We've got him just about 1 & 1/2 yrs ago from the City Dog Pound and he's come a long ways from the Depressed Little Dog we took home. Buddy has blossomed into this wonderful little dog with such a sweet, loving heart! He learned around 10 months after we got him not everyone was going to hurt him and he started to let people pet him. He also found other dogs friendly while walking so he socialized with them.

While we were walking in this park we saw a lady walking through the bush with a stroller with a baby in it. Her little 2 yr old boy was walking behind her. She had a boxer dog on a leash attached to the stroller. Her little dog a Boston Terrier was running free without a leash. Our little Buddy wasn't on a leash either and he went running to meet the other dogs as he has found that most of the dogs we've met on our walks were friendly.

The little Boston Terrier sniffed our little Buddy and just played around with him. The woman's little 2 yr old son saw a puddle near the fence and ran over and jumped into the puddle and was sitting in the water up to his waist. She left her baby, her dogs and ran to grab her son out of the puddle. Buddy went near her Boxer and then her Boxer started to attack our little Buddy. Buddy was so scared and started running towards my husband and myself. The woman's little Boston Terrier was loose and then he started running after Buddy and started to attack our dog too. Buddy and the Boston Terrier were running around in circles with lots of snarling, teeth showing going on. I tried to grab my pooch but they were going to fast for me to grab. I yelled to my husband to grab our dog when they went behind me. I tried to stop the little Boston Terrier by putting my foot out to stop him but he just ran around my foot. Our dog dropped at my husband's feet while snarling back at the other dog near his face. My husband grabbed him and put him up into his arms.

The woman said, "Is your dog alright." He was safe and looked alright but devastated. She said something about it wasn't good making introductions. We took our dog into a safe area far enough away from this woman and her dogs.

We tried to get Buddy to walk when we were safe and now he won't walk now. He won't go up and downstairs in our home any more. He won't do anything. Our Rescue dog is now so upset he won't do anything but look at the wall. It's like no life in him anymore. We have our old dog back that was so Depressed after we got him from the dog pound. Buddy is still trembling and shaking one day later after the attack.

Beagle Dog Breeds



by Queenie1

Originally the breed was used to track foxes and rabbits because of their great scent. They were used to hunt in packs.

Beagles are a smaller scent hounds and there are two kinds; the one is 13" from the shoulder down and weighs 18 lbs while the other kind is about 15" from the shoulder down weighing 30 lbs. They are a sturdy, high-energy dog with a short low maintenance coat that sheds.

The Beagles strong scent will distract him so he may ignore you at times. The Beagle will need constant training when you get him. The Beagles nose rules their brains but they are a very smart, intelligent, affectionate dog.

Beagles are not a good dog for apartment living because of their howling and barking. The Beagle is good with children handling him so he makes a good family pet and he is also good with strangers as well as other dogs.

The dog is easily distracted if he smells a scent so he will do better in a fenced in yard and when you walk him it's best to keep him on a leash so it doesn't run away. Daily exercise is important for this active dog. The owner of the Beagle needs to have time to train this curious dog.

Small Dogs For Adoption




Submitted By: Pertic Brendon

When we think about adopting a dog we generally think about getting one that looks cute, or is a purebred dog or we tend to want to adopt a puppy. While these are all great dogs to adopt there are many small dogs waiting to be adopted. These small dogs for adoption are usually found lost and abandoned. Some have been given by their owners for various reasons to shelters.

These small dogs that have been given into various animal shelters have all the adorable looks of a puppy. Their small size makes them perfect as companions for children and people who live in small homes.

The various breeds that are found in dog and animal shelters include Scottish terriers, Cocker Spaniels, Dachshunds, Miniature Schnauzers. You will find pure breed small dogs for adoption as well as different mixed breed dogs. Each of these small dogs is in need of lots of love and care.

When any small dogs are brought to the animal shelters they are carefully washed and cleaned of dirt and grime. The shelter vets will examine the small dogs and treat any wounds or other types of problems that these small dogs may have. Once they have been examined and treated, good food is given to the small dogs while they wait in clean kennels.

These kennels are temporary homes as small dogs for adoption may be chosen by a potential owner. Anyone can become the proud owner of small dogs but the various animal shelters where these small dogs are housed will make sure that any potential owner has the willingness to care for these small dogs.

As there are many types of stray dogs the new owners may be asked to spay or neuter their new members of the family. While this procedure may seem excessive you have to remember that many times these small dogs are found as strays because the mother dog was not sterilized.

Once you have chosen your small dog for adoption and companionship the small dog will be given into your care temporarily. This procedure is to make sure that the potential owners are right for these small dogs. This process also helps the dogs and their possible new owners become comfortable with each other.

The next time that you are thinking of adopting a pet you may want to look at the many small dogs for adoption purposes as these small dogs are the best types of dogs to have as life long companions. The love and devotion that these small dogs will give you in return for the care that you will lavish on these dogs will make you happy that you decided to choose a small dog for your lifelong companion.
