A young girl was dragged around like a rag doll when she and another child were attacked by an escaped guard dog. The children, aged two and three, were both injured in the attack and had to be taken to Birmingham Children’s Hospital. The older girl suffered hand and leg injuries after she was bitten while the two-year-old suffered a leg injury and had scratch marks on her body. Footage from the incident shows a huge dog dashing across the road and mauling the girls as they walked with a woman in St Saviour’s Road, Birmingham, around lunchtime yesterday.

Police have said the dog was seized and has not been released back to the owner. An investigation is underway and no arrests have been made.

The owner has a lot of explaining to do and be held accountable. Poor kids are traumatized for life now.

I am glad that someone stopped to help the lady and her two kids. That dog's owner needs to pay some hefty fines and pay the medical bills!

Damn, the mom was absolutely useless.

Regarding an attacking dog, people act like a dog bite is the absolute worst thing that could ever happen to you, which is why no one in the video clip is actually engaging the threat. You squat down, feed the dog an arm, and as soon as he latches on, you grab his throat with your free hand, wrestle him upside down and either strangle him or crush his ribcage with your knees. It just takes a little forethought before the emergency knocks on your front door.

That sounds good in theory but have you done this yourself and are speaking from experience? Being attacked by any animal usually happens in the blink of an eye. Trying to react calmly and thinking clearly doesn’t happen very often in those situations. Experience is a great teacher but that usually comes after multiple encounters. It’s a great idea but when being attacked by a dog they have a tendency to shake their heads back and forth violently which wouldn’t make any easy grab for a throat not to mention the terror you’re going through during that encounter.

He just wanted to play. Throw a stick, now go play fetch.
