Search Results: mark you down

Just over an hour ago I took my dog for a walk down the street. Yes she was on a leash. About halfway down, a guy who lives on my street opened his back gate and his big scary dog trotted and then full speed bolted towards me and my dog and bit my dog 6 - 7 times after mine circled me and tied me up in her leash. I kinda "kicked" his dog away from mine so it wouldn't bite anymore. The owner just kinda trotted towards his dog to get her away from mine. I screamed extremely loud (in complete horror) and so did my dog as this was all happening. My dog screamed louder than she would've if a 300 pound item squashed her basically. (Btw my dog isn't big. She's a fairly small bichon shih tzu dog.). The owner picked his dog up and said I'm a slightly "iffy" voice that my dog was "just scared" as he seen me almost in tears when he knew damn well that his BIG dog bit my SMALL dog 6 - 7 times on the lower back, stomach, and back legs (my dog has a small faint wealt - like mark on her stomach from one of the bites).

I picked my dog up, ran home and was trembling in fear and nearly in tears and hoping on my own grave that she wasn't majourly hurt/injured. When I got back home and put her on the ground after I took her leash off, I had tiny dots of blood on my hands from where she got bit by that other dog.

Should maybe mention that this other dog was not on a leash and runs free around my neibourhood for hours every single day without its owner watching it

So from all this, could this person down my street get charged because he was walking his dog without a leash and let it bite my dog more than 5 times? Cuz honestly, I'm an 18 year old girl and love dogs, but now I'm scared to even take my dog for a walk again in case I turn the corner and this psychotic dog is just sitting there and could attack me or my dog. Plus I also think that if I was just walking down the street by myself without my dog, it would have charged at me and attacked me as well
