It was not a killer type dog -- it was a cocker spaniel. I am uncertain what is going to happen to the dog. Howard wants to put the dog down, but Linda is uncertain (the owners). They say whatever they do -- the dog will not be allowed around kids anymore. I have the same sentiments about the matter.

Now that you say a Cocker Spaniel! My best friend's daughter was babysitting and the family had just such a dog. She bent down to pet it and it bit her bottom lip off!!! She had to have plastic surgery!

I thought they just urinated when they got excited - but NO!!!!! (lol)

Re: My Son was attacked

I pray that your son will overcome the trauma of this ordeal. He won't be looking at dogs the same way again, I bet. And the way you said that it will "add character to his face". Well I hope it will not do that. Some people who have scars on their face also have a few characters added to their name...Like Timmy Scarface for example. It might sound funny, but its true.

Re: My Son was attacked

bt, So glad your son wasn't hurt worse. I can only imagine how you must have felt. All dogs are unpredictable... even the calm and good natured ones...animals that they are. (Some people will bite you unexpectedly too :D

I hope he'll heal without scarring and have no future fear of dogs.

Re: My Son was attacked

Some cockers have a genetic pre disposition for biting. Its called Fear Biting. It is not uncommon . They totally bite for no reason. Not a good thing!!!

What is up with Cocker Spaniels? I have a friend who had to have her dog put to sleep after biting two people!!!!

Re: My Son was attacked

would not own a cocker spaniel because of this type of thing. Now I do own an Akita and a Pit Bull. They are the most lovable characters ever, most of the time. No one wants to come into our house though. I like it that way.

Re: My Son was attacked

Well my St. Bernard puppy might lick you to death, they are bad about knocking people down and sitting or laying on them. As our previous one did to a meter reader. I was in the house and heard someone shouting for help, went outside and she was just laying on top of the poor man licking his face......lol He read the meter with binoculars from his truck after that. Still praying for this precious child brother.

Re: My Son was attacked

I took my son today to the peditrician as a follow up, and he confirmed what I thought was beginning to occur. My son now has a staff infection in the worst injury that is located next to his left eye. I know that we all have very busy lives, but I ask you to continue to hold him up in prayer.

Thank you

He's My Friend
