If a litttel midegt came up to you and started biting and nipping at you would you not kick it's ass? Your poorr littel mini dog, bo hoo. You peopl are comparing bascially 2 differnt species of animal. yeah tey are both dogs but one is about 25 times the size of the other so naturally when the littel animal starts aggravatign the bigger obne it gets put in it's palce. Little dogs are usually mean littel pricks.

SANDRA YOU ARE A DOG - and you should be put on a leash! I saw your picture - you're fatter than ever, girl you should lay off the cheesecake! to bad that acai burn didnt burn the acne off your face >>>AND - IF YOU WANT A COMPUTER VIRUS - FOLLOW ZJMLOVING06's advice and log on to that website

while that may be true, which would send you to the hospital? a chihuahua bite or a rottie bite? tbh though, this is an excuse large dog owners use to be irresponsible or even lax with training and think they are one upping small dog owners. please realize all dogs can bite in any given situation. any dog, even one you have trusted for years or that has certain breed characteristics can bite if put under stress or in new situations.

Two greyhounds in my local dog park nearly killed a puggle last year. Apparently some small dogs may trigger a predatory response in greyhounds. And oh yes, the greyhounds' owners were obnoxious about the attack instead of apologetic.

I agre with you. Grayhounds are always such mellow dogs. I think he was just healouw because they had a bigger dog than he did. Someone should smack his head up against the fence and put a leash on him.

You are the sort of person whose dog will injure another animal or a child. It is a dog, not a kid, and it is instinctively going to attack small prey. I heard my 3 yr old screaming and ran around the corner of my house to see three pet dogs chasing him as prey. You are a danger to others until you understand that NO dog is 100% safe.

Please do not post comments without merit, Greyhounds are trained in the US and UK with whirlygigs, and plastic bags on lures, NO LIVE PREY, it is illegal. Some Greyhounds are high prey, but when they are leashed are easily controlled, there are leash laws for a reason, ANY dog can lunge at another dog OFF LEAD. I have fostered countless Greyhounds over the years and have NEVER had any problems, also had a few smaller dogs in the mix, if something small runs by or approaches OFF LEAD, any high prey dog will want to investigate. Greys are obedient, loving companions, that just want a soft bed and a loving home, do not take that away from them because YOU are uninformed about the breed.

What the law is and what people do are not the same. I am surprised at the remarks concerning the benign manner of training greyhounds for racing when we hear so much about how badly they are treated, to the point where they need a rescue effort. Also, haven't you heard about Michael Vick? I have no question that on any day a given dog may attack. My husband was nearly attacked by a large dog on the opposite side of the street because my husband was carrying a walking stick. I told him to put it behind his back and the dog backed off. I also was within about a foot of having my throat attacked by a dog ON a leash which its owner could not control because of an icy street. If he owns a very small dog, first, for its protection it should be on leash, but also it is a target for large dogs, particularly hunting dogs.

I have two dogs, that is why you always should have your dog on a leash , PLAIN AND SIMPLE!!!! If you are walking them outside they should be on a leash... It keeps your dog safe and the other dogs...So stop being a brat... AND SAY IT WAS YOUR STUPIDITY....

If Greyhounds were trained with live prey PETA and similar organizations would be all over the racing industry, get your facts straight.

Gerry BUTTler was indeed at fault for one reason and one reason only he was an irresponsible dog owner, whatever happened or didn't happen to his dog he is the only person to blame NO ONE else. The fact he realized his actions were a poor decision he along with his PR people and the movies PR people now must spin this story to make him look to be the victim. I was once a fan but no longer. The simply fact this man has no accountability for his actions is not only disturbing but WRONG. Disgusting. If Lolita was hurt so badly then why not produce some evidence to support this? Where is that? Oh there isn't any that's why. How kind of BUTTler to pay for someone else's veterinary care, again another episode of trying to save face. This random act of supposed kindness would have never taken place if he wasn't in jeopardy of looking bad.

Think about what you wrote; I have a dog in a leash, and another one comes up that is not on a leash. The unleashed dog is uninhibited and if it was being attacked would run if being overpowered, the leashed dog obviously would stay on the leash. Get it? Small dogs are often aggressive, especially when their owners pick them up and coo at them when their dogs act inappropriately, reinforcing the negative behavior. It is the owners responsibility to know their animal and act accordingly to ensure no conflict.

It's strange-I used to take care of a greyhound and a collie/golden retriever mix every day. I would let them out in the backyard. It was always the collie mix that loved treeing squirrels. The greyhound ignored them. And yes, he used to race. For 4 years.
