OMG :eek: thats bl***y awful, hope Fern makes a speedy recovery and neither dogs

are traumatised by this frightening ordeal.

Sending :huggles: to Pat and little Fern and Homer :wub:
 
Just read this thread. How awful poor little Fern :( Hope she comes through it ok :luck: :luck: :luck: :huggles:

It's a bad situation when someone has a dog on a lead and they can't even control it when it's on the lead :rant: When I was younger my friend always had Great dane's and they were all rescues. The last one was mental, he used to lunge at everyone as they passed by. I suppose you don't know what trauma he had been through before she got him, but he was only three :- " They seem to be a dog that get taken into rescues a lot. I always assumed it was because people bought them and didn't realise the upkeep they needed with food etc. Maybe there is a temperament issue as well?

Good luck to Fern, Homer and pat for a happy outcome :luck: I'll be thinking of you all :huggles: :huggles:
 
omg, how horrific, keeping all our fingers crossed for Fern's full recovery and hoping she's not too traumatised it must have been a terrible ordeal, for all concerned

I used to breed Danes until I came to a conclusion that they are just too big. I also ended up having problems with aggression towards other dogs. However it was aggression that was provoked, as in those times (40-30 years ago) most dogs were allowed to roam free, and as I would walk with my dogs down the street we would get attacked by variety of small dogs. Sometimes my dogs were bitten and bled. I was strong enough to control two Danes, but it was a struggle when they were being nipped on their legs. It was not surprising that they became aggressive towards other dogs, but it meant I had to be very careful where to let them off the leash.

When we moved to acreage there were number of dogs roaming free, squeezing through my Dane-proof fences, and some got bit bashed up. None were seriously hurt, just badly bruised, but I decided i do not wish to be involved in a breed that has the capability to bite child's arm off in one snap, and the potential to kill another dog without any effort.

Nobody has the right to keep a dog they are incapable to control.
 
Thanks for keeping us updated on little Fern...still thinking of you all :huggles:
 
Hoping little Fern has had a comfortable night and is feeling a bit better this morning :huggles:
 
My thoughts and best wishes are with you xx

What an awful thing to have happened :( I do hope the owner of the great dane is paying the vet's bill. I have 6 dogs, 2 of which are large german shepherds - I always have them under full control and they are very obedient and well socialised. However, even I would not walk them where they could possibly meet other dogs unless I have an extra person with me. Not that I think they would hurt another dog, but if a strange dog were to come up to them and have a go I wouldn't blame them if they retaliated and I wouldn't like to be in that situation by myself (don't want to be in that situation at all!).

I hope Fern makes a full recovery xx
 
Thinking of little Fern and Homer. Sending them both gentle hugs. I hope that Fern has had a good night. x
 
OMG Just seen this :eek:

Will keep EVERYTHING crossed that Fern makes a full recovery ASAP - and that dane owner should DEFINITELY be paying the vet's bill!!!
