    I'm so sorry sweetie! I can imagine how violated your hubby and you must feel. Was the dog injured at all? I'm so glad that you guys have each other. I lived in the midwest for most of my upbringing. surprisingly, there is a lot of crime in those parts. but at 7 o'clock?! It just seems nuts. I wish you guys the best. Peace and hugs!

    Oh my goodness! I am HORRIFIED! I can't believe he was attacked for NO REASON, even with a dog! What kind of dog was it??? My heart goes out to both you and your husband baby girl. This world makes me very sad. I am truly sorry. The one thing I am grateful for is that he has somebody as wonderful as you caring for him.

    That's frightening what happened and best of luck to him and to you while helping him get thru this.

    Yeah, I put 100 fliers in 100 mailboxes, so hopefully the word gets around. I'd hate it if someone else got hurt.

    And it wouldn't have mattered if he had a vicious dog, a gun, a knife.....anything. When you are up against 5-6 guys who are much bigger than you there is not a hell of a lot you can do to protect yourself.

    Thanks for the kind words.

    Dear God, Andygirl! I am so sorry you both had to go through this. And like everyone else, I really hope they catch them!

    I'm sorry honey, that's terrible. Wishing him and your family a speedy recovery from this. Also, he might want to speak to a therapist about this once the shock wears off. PTSD can have harrowing psych. effects.

    I'm sorry that happened. It takes a long time to feel comfortable with the world again after something like that happens. I hope he recovers from the obvious and not so obvious wounds quickly.

    And, I wish a rash of unpleasant and painful things on the attackers.

    Is your dog OK?

    I only want to know because I'm a single female by myself in a city with a very high crime rate. I am teaching my dogs to bark because I want them to be guard dogs. Do I need to train them to attack and release on command? I would even have them trained professionally if neccessary.

    I'm not saying he could have done anything to prevent it. I'm just wondering, are you sure they would have even approached him if the dog appeared intimidating?

    I didn't think it was necessary before because I thought their mere presence would be enough to keep anyone wishing to do harm away, but now I'm paranoid...

    Sorry to derail, but NO!!!

    Even teaching them to bark is going to cause you problems later.

    Teaching them to attack is a death sentence for them.

    Dagwood

    S
    ometimes adopters wonderwhy we ask
    them to go through so many steps – an
    adoption questionnaire, a phone interview
    and a home visit – before adopting one of our
    dogs. German Shepherd Dogs are not the right
    match for every home. They generally require
    owners who will make them part of the family,
    exercise them on a daily basis, and who will
    communicate and enforce clear boundaries on
    behavior. If those requirements are not met,
    behaviors such as excessive barking, jumping on
    people, or even aggression, can result.
    The GSDs we see in shelters often display negative
    behaviors because of owners who were poor
    matches for this breed. Our dog evaluators do
    an extensive temperament evaluation before
    pulling a GSD from the shelter. They then have
    to make the difficult decision as to which GSDs
    seem safe to adopt out to families. German
    Shepherds that do not pass our temperament
    evaluation, often due to aggressive or highly
    under-socialized (extremely fearful) behavior,
    are tearfully left behind.
    Even after our temperament evaluation, we still
    do not know what issues we will find with any
    given GSD. Some are so shell-shocked
    from being in the shelter, they don’t
    show all their behavior issues until they
    have been out, sometimes weeks or even
    months later. It is important that we try
    to put all our dogs in foster homes before
    adopting them out, so we can get to know
    them better.
    Dagwood is an example of a GSD who
    easily passed our temperament evaluation
    in the shelter. He was a dream to foster:
    submissive, playful, goofy, good with other
    dogs and easily trainable. He seemed like
    he would be easy to place in many families. But
    when one potential male adopter came to meet
    him, Dagwood unexpectedly snarled as the man
    reached out to pet him.
    Nothing in Dagwood’s previous behavior
    gave any indication that he would exhibit any
    aggressive behavior. He had met several other
    men previously and had seemed friendly. He did
    not alarm bark even when the foster home dogs
    were barking. He even seemed to ignore strangers,
    such as the PG&E meter reader. But as a result of
    his display of aggression, we took Dagwood to a
    professional dog trainer for an evaluation.
    Under low provocation, the evaluator made sure
    he had Dagwood’s attention and walked a few
    steps toward him; Dagwood attacked and tried
    to bite the evaluator. Dagwood went through
    a few more tests; after each one, the evaluator
    noted how fast Dagwood would recover from
    his agitated state. According to the evaluator,
    Dagwood was basically a stable and good GSD
    who unfortunately ended up with a misguided
    owner who had made him dangerously and
    unpredictably aggressive.
    The evaluator thought Dagwood had previous
    training in personal protection, but the training
    was poorly applied. As a result, Dagwood turned
    into a dog that would attack when something in
    the approach of a man reminded him of his
    previous “training”. The truth was that Dagwood
    was about as far from a personal protection
    dog as you can get, in fact he was only attacking
    to protect himself. Nonetheless, he was too
    dangerous dog to live with a family both because
    he was strong and unpredictable, and
    because it would be very difficult to separate
    him from all men (relatives, acquaintances,
    etc.) that have access to a typical family.
    The professional trainer recommended that
    Dagwood be put to sleep.
    This was devastating news to those of us who
    knew Dagwood and especially those who saw
    his goofy, submissive, lovable behavior. However,
    all the professionals that were consulted,
    from the positive reinforcement trainers to the
    police dog trainers agreed he was not a safe
    dog; any large, strong dog that attacks on its
    own decision is dangerous. It seems odd that
    relatively few dogs can be trained to actually
    bite a human. The fact that Dagwood would
    attack to bite, and only when he felt threatened,
    is what made him so dangerous. And so, tearfully,
    the decision was made to put this young, otherwise
    loving, dog to sleep.
    So, why do we go through so much effort to
    match the right dog with a potential adopter?
    It is for all the Dagwoods out there, and all
    the rest of the dogs that we have to leave in
    the shelters…almost all of them because of
    what their previous owners have done to them.
    We want these dogs to have the kind of life
    they were meant to have, the kind of life that
    Dagwood was meant to have, before he ended
    up in the hands of his misguided former owner.

    I hate this so much. He is in excruciating pain and there's nothing I can do to help him. He already lives with crippling pain every day of his life, and now this happens. He has maxed out on pain meds today and they just aren't cutting it. I don't know what to do for him.

    My daughter is at her dad's tonight, thankfully, but my stepkids are here. They are easy to handle, but I know they are confused and worried about their dad. Of course their mother had to tell them the gruesome details, which they did not need to know, and to me that makes matters worse. They are very sensitive children and I hate to think of them worrying and being upset.

    Hell, we're all worried and upset. And unfortunately, my mom and dad and my best friend are all out of town for another week. I hope things are better in the morning. Please keep sending good vibes, prayers, etc. to my husband. He needs whatever help he can get.

    Andy, you're in my prayers. You're being so brave about this; I know you and your husband will get through this and be even stronger.

So I figured I'd better grope her as much as I could before they sprung the trap. You've got to take what you can get in this life. I read that in a magazine. So I started smearing kisses on her and pawing the front of her dress, trying to get my money's worth before somebody bashed my head in." John Swartzwelder

    I'm so sorry to hear about this. I can't imagine what you are going through. Stay strong for your man. Yes, what these cowards did was unforgivable...but it could have been a hell of alot worse. If it was gang initiation, he is lucky they didn't kill him.

    I hope he is feeling a little better today...my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

    That's awful! I'm so sorry for you and your husband. Good for you that you're being proactive and putting up those flyers. You don't want to hear about a neighbor or child going through the same thing. Be careful, babe! Keep us updated if you find out about those jerks!

    Im sorry you two have to deaqal with this and i hope he's feeling better soon.He may want to check out counseling for PTSD...aafter something like this you go crazy sometimes,stressed about being SO CAUTIOUS and paranoid. After I was robbed,i still dont go out at night without my guy,even to grab somethin from the car real quick. the counseling really helps even if you dont think you need it.
    Good idea about the fliers.

    What a group of cowards! I would suggest talking to a therapist....maybe both of you together.....the after-effects of an attack can leave both of you feeling pretty helpless. I'm so sorry you're both going through this. Perhaps an anti-anxiety medication administered for a short time might help to alleviate some of your husband's pain? The extra "existential pain" can interfere with painkiller's ability to work......just a thought. I hope terrible things befall the bastards that did this thing to you both. My heart goes out to you, remember to take a moment to breathe whenever you can, maybe a long soak in a bubble bath.....you've got to take care of you too! So you can be there for your Husband without wearing yourself down too much in the process.
