My stepfather and my favorite little dog, Cupcake were viciously attacked by two huge dogs today. All are alive, but hospitalized. Have you or one of your animals been attacked by a dog?

Omg I'm so sorry!

I hope they both get well soon. I've never been attacked but had a friend once that was.  She had to have many stitches but got ok.

Gosh I'm sorry!

I hope the animal control people picked the dog up.

I am so sorry to hear this! Prayers for a speedy recovery for both.

I have never been attacked to the point of being bitten, but there was a dog that lived between my uncle's house and ours that came at me several times when I rode my bicycle past. One time I couldn't out run him and I used my bike as a shield to keep him away. The owner finally came out and called him home. A few days later it went after another child. About a week later, after the cops did nothing, it went after someone who was carrying a gun.

Tisk. How awful. Must have been a shock.  Hope and wishes for a speedy recovery.

Oh my, I'm so sorry to hear this! My dog was attacked by another dog when she was a year old. We were at a campground out of town. I was taking her for a walk when a bigger dog from the camper beside us lunged at her and attacked her. She was bitten around the neck. It was the 4th of July weekend. We found a Vet. In a shabby little office who treated her and said she should stay there a few nights. When I got her back, I immediately took her to my own Vet. Who treated her and she got well with time. Luckily the owner of the other dog took responsibility and paid all the bills.

I'm sorry to hear this. I hope your stepfather and dog will be ok. I wish them both a speedy recovery. None of my dogs or myself have ever been attacked. When my dog Sadie and I walk out the top, I'm usually carrying a pistol in case something bad does happen. Fortunately, I've never had to use it.

At the dog park my dog was attacked twice . . The first time I called her off defending herself . . . The second time the dog pinned he and I couldn't get there fast enough and she was bit a couple times. When I did get there I pulled her out of harms way and yanked their dog off ROUGHLY by the collar and was ready to kick it if it went back after my dog.

Then I looked at the owner who was apologizing . . . Again . . . And I said "If you cannot control your dog, you have to go . . . NOW."

The last couple of times I went back to that park, my dog just stayed under the picnic table I was sitting on to afraid (PTSD) to engage with other dogs . . . It's been a couple years so I may try again.

My heart goes out to your stepdad, Cupcake, and you.  Praying that all will be well ... And that the offenders will never have the opportunity to attack again.

I am so sorry to hear this Dragonfly. 😔

My neice when she was a baby got attacked by her uncle's dog. She had to have many stitches close her face. The doctors did a great job. The only scars left looks like she has cute dimples. Oddly when her son was around the same age, he was attacked by a dog as well. His injuries were not as severe. My ex step dad had a dog who drowned my baby kittens. He tried telling me that's the nature of dogs and he was just "playing" with the kittens. Pffft yah right. My mom's stupid dog bites Jr's feet when ever one of us tries to talk to her. I just stopped conversing with my mom cuz she blames everything/everyone BUT the dog. And I don't let my son near it anymore.

Funny side story....

One day my husband, kids and I were Pokehunting at a park when a dog approached us rather abruptly. He told it to get away but it wouldnt. He tried talking nice to it and it growled. So he firmly told it to get away again and it became more aggressive back so he grabbed one of the kids scooters to scare it off and it growled but backed off. We watched it to make sure it left but it wouldn't leave! It kept trying to approach us. My husband was like "DANG he's persistant!" My husband said maybe we are blocking his way to his home or something so we went around the other way to get to our car. (I had enough excitement for the night! Lol!) Anyways sure enough where we were originally standing the dog ran back there and as the kids were getting in the car, this dog trotted past us with a bone in its mouth! He was just wanting his bone he buried earlier! 😅 So we praised him a good dog! 😅

I m so sorry. I know how you love your dog bcuz I love my cats the same way. Your dog is your baby and a part of your heart. 

Once I remember one I was out for a walk when this dog had gotten away from his chain and came at me. He didn't bite but he growled and showed his teeth. I never walked that way again.

Another time a woman came to our home and let her pit bull out of the car. He came at my cat and actually tried to kill him. It took 3 ppl to get that dog off.                                      My husband threatened to kill the dog. She left in such a hurry, she hit a car on the way out, and that delayed her even longer.              My kitty went to the vet and was ok. The dog just wrenched his jaw.

my friend got bit in the butt by a dog he’s ok it was pretty funny and sorry about what happened
