Sorry Folks but I have no sympathy for the dog or the dog owner.
I have friend whose daughter, at 6 years old, was attacked by a dog who was "very friendly and would never hurt anyone", ripping her face open. Well the little girl spent a week in the hospital, suffered through several surgeries and is permanently scarred. The owner of this dog actually fought the court order to have the dog destroyed. Why would anyone place a dog over a human is beyond me and how could you look at your dog knowing what it did, I would have destroyed it myself. Of course the problem in the Franky D case isn't with the dog it is with the DOG OWNER, the dog should have been on a leash period.

Why is it that dog owners think all other people should be as trusting of their dog as they are? Ever have a dog run, at full speed, up to you while the owner says "don't be afraid he won't bite". Now if you had been previously bitten how would you have reacted? Well folks, sorry to say, but some people aren't comfortable with dogs, aren't trusting of dogs and may just plain hate dogs I can understand how someone may react in such an extreme manner. If I have dog coming at me, my wife or kids please load the gun and I'll be happy to pull the trigger.

Not withstanding Franky D is a moron just the same.
