[nagdu] Guide dog attacked; Owner needs help with needed surgery

[Criminal Justice Major Extraordinaire]

Man Oh Man..
*Wow*
How many more iresponsible dog owners will I come across?
I've seen some service dogs get just as bad too.
Really makes me think and am glad that I continuously stay on Odie's tail at 
all times.
Although people think I'm being mean to him, truth is I'm doing my part as a 
responsible dog mommy.
Honestly, if you're going to have a dog, then they need to be treated the 
same way like a human kid as well.
Dogs deserve to be an important family member of a household, not the other 
way around.
Odie is definitely not considered a piece of property.
Because I chose to take on having a dog in my life, then I need to keep up 
with taking care of him.
*Really sad*
I do hope that this handler will be able to get help from some generous 
doners.
Too bad he isn't able to go visit his family either.
This attack could have easily been prevented if people would just use common 
sense and obey the leash laws that are in place.
These leash laws are in place for the safety of people and dogs alike, 
giving the fact that any dog can revert back to its wild instincts at any 
given time.
Although people may think that a domesticated canine may not do something 
like this, yes, it can still happen regardeless and all dog breeds wouldn't 
make a difference no matter what.
This is mainly the way attacks happen not just on dogs, but people as well 
all because of how dog owners conduct themselves.
Sadly, dogs always become a victum of fault when owners fail to teach them 
how to behave.
Again, shame on the owners!
*Disgusted*
Odie is just as unhappy with that too.
