Same thing with me, I got bitten off my neighbour's dog, my fault for being close to her pups really, was just chilling in their garden with the bloke as he was having a fire & let's face it fires are cool. I was only like 8 but I didn't want it to be put down. Still got the bite marks on my leg!the word *Tamer* is very loosely used I feel, Not only is a lion a wild animal, it has been since the dawn of time! So its no wonder the stupid sod got attacked.
Take for instance a fairly recent event which happened to me, I was playing with my neighbors rottie and startled him, in which he took a snap at my lower lip caught it n left me with a gaping rip right down to my chin! My parents and neighbor were horrified and insisted he be put down, but i refused and told them NO! a dog after all is an animal, which was once wild, so of course instinct kicked in with it and it did what any other animal would do.
Same thing with that Steve Irwin bloke... except that was bound to happen to him eventually.
That really annoys me with dogs. They attack someone and end up been put down. Like you say, its instinct and no matter how well bahaved the dog is usually, theres still something there in their brain to attack when they feel neccesary.the word *Tamer* is very loosely used I feel, Not only is a lion a wild animal, it has been since the dawn of time! So its no wonder the stupid sod got attacked.

but the number of people that don't know how to raise and train a dog these days is what's disgusting...

i'd say whats more disgusting, is blatant people training dogs for fighting and ****. cross breeding warriors, American pit-bulls/staffies etc etc
all these 13yo chavy kids walkin round with 6stone rottweilers is funny also.
