If they<br />do not have any penalties for this behavior, nothing will change.<br /><br />I sincerely hope your Mom's dog can be retrained because I am sure your Mom has<br />probably become very attached to the dog.<br /><br />I am so sorry that this type of thing has happened to both of you. <br />God Bless you both.<br />Hugs,<br />Sondratraderslostarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07895760314927250496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13334131.post-36332353578026163832016-05-18T13:58:46.840-05:002016-05-18T13:58:46.840-05:00In my working life, I was a librarian who worked w...In my working life, I was a librarian who worked with people with all kinds of disabilities, including those who were blind and partially sighted. I know just how much a person relies on their guide dog as a companion as well as being their eyes when they go outside their home as well as indoors. As you clearly state there are no bad dogs, just uncaring owners, who do not see the need to obey the rules of dog ownership - being able to care for the dog as well as training it. I do not condone in any way the owners of this dog and their behaviour, but to allow a dog to escape from its' leash is not acceptable - in any society.<br />I hope your mum and Cassie are still able to work together - a bond like theirs should be strong enough to work through this awful event. Please give Cassie a hug from me, and maybe a cuddle for your mum too. Hopefully you will keep us up to date with their story.Sandiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13948740665884395692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13334131.post-77525799921823924442016-05-18T11:17:37.819-05:002016-05-18T11:17:37.819-05:00I'm so sorry Pam.

Perhaps you need to look into contacting you local Councilman...and see what can be done. Agree, dogs are animals...and any animal is prone to bite if provoked....and some don't need much encouragement to do so it seems. As much as I love my Cocker Spaniels...we had a incident a few years ago with our dog then... Sparky. He was a darling...very docile...very tolerant. But, after enduring an 11 hour ride from our home in Indianapolis to Alabama to see the family...we were sitting on the front porch. Well, half of the family was there and it was crowded. Sparky was laying down, and my niece "scooted" over to make room for someone else. She did not even touch Sparky...but he snapped at her and actually drew a little blood. I was mortified...and totally upset about it. But, after thinking later on...realized that he was just "at the end of his rope"...tired...and just wanted to be left along. He was letting my niece know not to bother him...even though she wasn't trying too. He was not prepared to "move over" if need be.<br /><br />So, we really don't know what is going on in an animal's mind...as much as they do communicate with us...we honestly don't speak "dog" or "cat" or whatever the language may be. Sometimes I think we forget this fact...thinking that our pets are humans. They are not.<br /><br />We can and should love them, nurture them...but we need to remember that their instincts are different than ours...and not put them into situations where they can be troublesome. Like keeping them off of leash...especially when their breed is more prone to misbehave. I mean, I don't see write-ups in papers all the time about...poodles attaching folks. Perhaps some have, but not enough to get a bad reputation. So, these "parents" should be even more vigilant if they truly love the breed...to help protect their image. Okay...long comment...just my 2 cents worth.<br /><br />Sorry this happened to you mother...and her best fury friend!<br /><br />Hugs, KathyShawklhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14303018876968056901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13334131.post-14291802392604702142016-05-17T16:59:32.027-05:002016-05-17T16:59:32.027-05:00OMG!!!!

There are some breeds of dog that are problems and having irresponsible owners just makes matters worse. It's horrible that it had to be your mom and her guide dog, but what if it had been a small child? Just the thought makes me cringe. Please, the next time you see your Mom and Cassie - give them special hugs from me. Magpie's Mumblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09852241848575954128noreply@blogger.com
