Dog Attack

[kgg]

We own a dog boarding kennel and a had an unprovoked dog attack two days ago. The dog was an English Bulldog and weighted about 60 lbs. It took three of us to get the bugger off my right leg calf. The tear in the zipper area was the first attempted kill shot and when that didn't work decided my calf muscle was a better choice to take me down. The blood on the leg of the other pant leg is from the spurting wound on the right leg before we could get the belt on the leg.   

This is how my pants, right boot and the 13 oz chrome tan belt, I made about a year ago, now look. The belt became a improvised tourniquet to get me to the hospital. I will not post photo's of the injuries but the belt came through unscathed and just needs to be cleaned.  

Be careful out there.

Sorry to hear of this attack

I hope you are resting and recovering

Bulldogs of certain breeds and XL Bulldogs are banned throughout the UK and Ireland because of such attacks and the killings they made

Thank you, just really Bored.

That is interesting, in Ontario, Canada only the pit bulls are banned.

It could have been much worst. Glad it was me rather then some child.

Bulldogs were bred to bite and not let go (The long-banned sport of bull baiting is what they were originally bred for!)

The original bulldog is now such a genetic mess they can no longer reproduce without human help, will drown if they fall into a pool, and often suffer from heat stroke in hot weather because they no longer have a muzzle to cool the air when they pant.

Despite this, those bull-baiting bulldog genes can sometimes resurface, and it ain't pretty when it happens!

Was this an American bulldog or a British? The Americans were bred to get rid of all the health problems the British dog has. They are longer-legged, actually have a muzzle and can breathe better. They can also move faster and are more agile, which makes them more dangerous if they want to bite someone.

During my time owning a boarding kennel, the dog that gave me the biggest scare was a boxer. I was trying to get him back into his kennel, and he jumped straight up in the air to face level. For an awful moment, I though he was going to grab for my throat!  

Fortunately, my kennel helper came along, and called him from inside the kennel, and he went to her. But those were a tense couple of minutes, facing off with that dog!
