I understand everyones anger towards the dog. Believe me, as the person walking Benny at the time of the attack, I dont like the dog either but I think it’s the owners that deserve our anger. A pet owners responsibility is to keep not only their pet safe but those that come into contact with it. In this case the owners irresponsible actions caused pain and distress to my dog and upset both me and my husband. Their seeming lack of caring or concern for any damage done not to mention their refusal to pay our vet bill says a lot about the kind of people they are. It makes me feel almost sorry for the dog!

Sorry to hear about Benny’s mishap. Please give him a hug for Rhonda and I. As for the court outcome, I would strongly encourage the courts to put the other dog to sleep. Then justice will have been done and our streets will be safer.

This comment is coming from someone who also lost the “good neighbor lottery”! Fortunately mine doesn’t have a dog! These people must do the right thing and pay up, what complete IDIOTS! I imagine that there must be some emotional trauma from all of this, hmmmm….wonder how much that is worth? Pay the vet bill….you’re getting off easy! These neighbors definitely get the loser irresponsible ass-holes of the millenium award! Poor pup!

Why don’t you post the names, address and pictures of these assholes here and in your paper?

That would surely embarass the pricks and let all the neighbours know who they are.

How sad for us all that we have neighbors like these creeps. As a public service, can you give us a description of the attack dog so we can keep our pets and children clear of this vicious beast? I hope Ben makes a full and speedy recovery.

This is the type of dog owner that gives all dog owners a bad name. I hate stories like this.

A dog owners that insists on not having their dog on a leash as required in this area and then have absolutely no control over their animal. Then to top it off refuses to take responsiblity for their own incompitance.

Wake up and smell the coffee, people if you are unable to control your dog you pay the price!

Dog off leash, owners responsible. It’s not just one of those things that just happen.

Buy a leash and use it. For the protection of your own dog and everyone elses.

OMG wake up people… what next a small child mauled.

Oh and I am sure it would be just one of those things to these irresponsible pet owners. He was just playing …right!

You need to make a phone call and report this to the SPCA – this is outrageous and totally irreponsible. Not even to help with your dog??? Small claims court here you come! See if they ignore that.

Tell Benny I’m sorry this has happened. Tell your neighbours they are so far top contenders for my Douchebags du Decade “award”. I say make those April Roadents pay!

What a terrible mess! The dog should be on a leash and wearing at muzzle at the very least! If they were my neighbours, they wouldn’t live to run from that vet bill. What a couple of complete morons. Irresponsible pet owners who can’t control their animal shouldn’t be allowed to own a pet. Time to face the music folks. Your dog is a liability – pay up and GET HELP! Who is the real animal here?
