My mate was REALLY lucky today.

He was delivering mail to a house, and the owners Alsatian jumped, grabbed his face and bit him. Luckily, the bite went through his r/ear lobe and grazed his neck, but the biggest injury was to his chin. Deep, wide and open wound. A and E for 4 hrs! Few inches lower and it would have gone through this artery, possibly.
Apparently, the owner said, as he was lying on the ground bleeding..."Don't move or he'll get u again." TOSSER! Police involved now...
Other postie got chased by a dog on another round, tore his ankle ligaments.
I've had 3 dog attacks/chases and got some compo, BUT...It's not funny,
So, I hope that alll the Wiggle CRC orderer's are getting their stuff ok !

I feel sorry for the dogs. Not that I don't feel sorry for your mate, but he's obviously going to heal and live another day. The dog won't, not knowing the consequences of it's actions, that it's owner has possibly praised it for

how do so many posties get attacked? are these dogs loose in the garden?0

My brother got attacked by a dog when he was very young, on a per round.
Dogs must get jealous because they never get any interesting packages for themselves.
I have to say, after GHF's song about the postman trying to claim compo, I have very slightly less sympathy
But no, you're right, it's not funny.0 -
Where do you lot live..around here theres not even a front garden for a dog to be in0

In the countryside in North Wales. Splotty lives about 5 minutes away from where I work, which is in the middle of nowhere.
It's a really quiet area, and most houses have gardens. And dogs, as it turns out.0 -
Oh okayyy i guess the location bit under your name should have been a clue, well i even when we were living in a place with "front gardens" noone dared let their dogs there just incase they get out and never come back, i guess there just trained better out in the country0

God's Own Country Butty! North Wales.
Dogs everywhere, and cats, suicide sheep too.
People keep em status symbols, guard dogs or working sheep dogs/pets.0 -
Well, again, as it turns out, no they're not trained much better
But most dogs are free to roam their gardens though.
My ex girlfriend used to have a huge husky patroling her garden. But it never barked, or bit or attacked anything, it just constantly wanted stroking.
We DID see the postman run out of the garden when it saw this enormous wolf trot towards it with it's tongue lolling out of it's mouth though. He took some convincing that it was utterly harmless.0 -
Passed two on the road in Rhostryfan, but they were ok.
However, their "mate" was much more dodgy, doing the Sheep "Zig-Zag-Dance-of-Death" all across the road!0 -
For the cultured amongst us (rhyl excluded):
An Elegy on the Death of a Mad Dog
by Oliver Goldsmith:
Around from all the neighbouring streets
The wondering neighbours ran,
And swore the dog had lost his wits,
To bite so good a man.
The wound it seemed both sore and sad
To every Christian eye;
And while they swore the dog was mad,
They swore the man would die.
But soon a wonder came to light,
That showed the rogues they lied:
The man recovered of the bite,
The dog it was that died.The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns
momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.0 -
3 weeks ago , driving home after popping round to pals , cars in front were slowing down to look at some commotion on the footpath then driving off.
as i got closer i could see a stray staffy ravaging an old ladies jack russell as she walked it , no-one helping as she panicked in the street.
jumped out of car to help out , tried to pull the staffy away put it had no collar , crap.
got the bastard in a headlock and pummeled its face till it let go.
still it went after the jack russell , so i lifted it above my head and drop kicked the staffy down the street.
got bit in the face during the melee , blood gushing everywhere but bundled the old lady and her dog into back of my car and took them home.
kept my sh*t together long enough to drive myself to A&E where i went into shock through all the excitement while waiting for my face to get sewn up.
well chuffed with the scar above the top lip , as we all know , chicks dig scars.
if i see said dog again i'll run it over and claim accident.
Ps. dog owner myself.0 -

Fixed it for you. The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns

fix you in a minute soft lad.0

My bro was chased by a dog when he was on his bike when we were kids, it ran after him barking away as he tried to pedal away, he was looking back to check where it was, drifted off line and clipped a wall, went down in a heap of grazes and bruises but even as he rolled to a halt he was thinking, sh*t the dogs going to get me, dog ran up to him and licked his face. He was less than amused.
Driving through the interior of BC in a mates truck on the way to Whistler, truck is a BIG Ford with a massive trailer loaded with wood - running on back roads, through a first nation settlement (Indians!) two dogs jump up from the side of the road and run toward the truck, they arc round to run behind us but dont realise we have a trailer - larger one gets clipped byt he trailer dragged under the wheel and spat out into the roadside ditch - we didnt stop as my frined reckoned the natives might not have been too impressed although it was unavoidable, we had veered well onto the wrongside of the road to try and avoid them.
Dogs - without training and care they are just nuts. My parents dogs were and are lovely albeit stupid.Closet jockey wheel pimp whore.0 -
I recently dressed up as an Alsatian, and bit the face of a lad who kept loudly shoving things through my letter box really early in the morning.0

Staffys are getting a bit of a reputation, which is a shame because when they're well trained they're lovely dogs. I've had 3 and not one ounce of trouble out of them.0 -

Couldn't agree more. Ours was soft as shlte, most well-natured dog I've ever owned (and we've had a few over the years). Where most dogs learn to open doors by jumping up at the handles, Nelson would try smashing the door in with his head until you just let him out :roll:
Sadly, they seem to have become dog of choice for chavs who have no clue how to look after a dog.0 -
The death by injection, cremation and scattering of Grondel's limp, lifeless body will take place at the top of Snowdon next week.
Rumours that someone was in an Alsatian suit shouting, " Get me outta here, I'm a Grondel-celebrity" have been strongly denied by Royal Mail...0 -

friendly and well behaved with people no question , but dangerous towards / with other dogs.
they were bred with one thing in mind and it ain't nice.
and most idiots with them have no idea how to control them or what they're capable of.
if one ever came hurling towards my docile dogs i wouldn't wait to see if it was gonna be friendly , i'd kill it there and then by whatever means.
read that anyway you like , my experiences suggest not to take that chance.0 -
Our German Shepard used to bark his head off if the postman went past without stroking him. The dog never had a problem with any of the posties, saying that he didn't have a problem with the theifs that broke into my garage either
Dogs must be socialised correctly to ensure they don't see the postman, other dogs, children as threats.0 -
rottweilers are my fave dogs, i think they are mega.0

Everyone says Labs are lovely, but didn't stop two from attacking me, and one giving me a bite on my ar*e, sucked to be me.

she then took her teeth out and flipped me over for a gobbling the likes of which would make your eyes pop out on stalks.0
