She bombards her FaceBook page with stuff about them. I usually ignore or occasionally give her a serve, but this one is an absolute ripper.

To me, it illustrates absolute trust between the dog and it's 'pack'. I am quite prepared to proven wrong, but that clip shows an attachment so strong that it flies in the face of natural instinct. Dogs usually whelp in private and remain so until their pups are mobile.

When the Bullterrier I mentioned above had her first litter(she was a bit anxious, first time and all) I helped clean them for her, broke the bags so she could eat them, when she was ready she did the above when they were a week or so old but it was onto our(human) bed. I'm sure it's a demonstration of trust.

Just don't like them.

I love dogs, when we walk to Lismore Square, I try to visit as many as I can and give them a pat. We have Keithy(Staffy), Buddy(Great Dane), Jaz(bitza big dog) Narla and Kobi(German shepard and Bullterrier cross), and Bella(some little black mongrel). Also have a toy poodle next door that lives here half it's life. My granddaughter(2yo) knows when we pass their houses and their names and calls them. Dogs are great.

edit: She especially like the Great Dane, she'll grab hold of the gate, rattle it, and call out Bubby, Bubby! Sometimes there is nobuddy home. Cry

What is your prob with dogs, Sprint? I'd like to understand. No trust in them, they broke your trust?

I've had dogs around me my whole life, my father has had Au champion retrievers, I've slept with a dear Irish Water Spaniel with half a heart that could not be worked and other dogs on my bed as a kid. My Bullterriers slept with me. I've found them to be better companions and more "true" that most(almost all) people.
They are truly beautiful creatures.

Only if their owner is a lazy bastard who shouldn't be allowed to own a dog in the first place. Is that you? Roll Eyes

............FOOTAGE of a dog attacking two horses on Nudgee Beach has emerged on social media.

The footage shows Keesha Moignard and her 19-year-old daughter Lucie trying to keep hold of their two horses as a large black dog runs towards them and attacks.

Onlookers gasped during the incident last Saturday morning while others took photos and videos of the attack, which brought one horse to its knees.

Ms Moignard claims she was also bitten on the knee during the chaos............

.........A WOMAN has been mauled to death by a dog in Perth.

Reports suggest the attack happened in Southern River, a residential suburb in the city's southeast. The woman is believed to be aged in her 50s.

The West Australian reports police got called to a property with boarding kennels for dogs about 1.30pm local time (3.30pm EST).

St John Ambulance officers declared the woman dead after she received life threatening injuries as a result of the dog attack.

Gosnells Council has seized the dog, reportedly a mastiff. PerthNow reports the death is not being treated as suspicious and a report is being prepared for the coroner.

News.com.au has contacted Gosnells Council for comment.

The tragic incident comes just weeks after a Melbourne man was attacked at a beach in Brighton East.

Cam McIntyre said he was lucky to be alive after dog, believed to be a labrador-rottweiler cross, attacked him and left him with a gash in his neck just millimetres from a major artery.

The dog bit his hand and neck and he was treated with 40 stitches.........
