My dog loves them! She'll play with them as little as they get or as big as

>>
>> Attacks on guide dogs by out-of-control canines have increased this year,
>> leaving owners and animals injured and distressed.
>>
>>
>>
>> The charity Guide Dog Services says four dogs have been "significantly"
>> mauled in the past eight months when they were with their handlers.
>>
>>
>>
>> "We would normally expect a couple of such attacks every year, but this
>> has already doubled in the past few months," said Pauline Dorking, client
>> services manager at the Foundation for the Blind.
>>
>>
>>
>> "It is distressing for the owners, who don't know what is happening,"
>> Dorking said.
>>
>>
>>
>> "We have also had puppies withdrawn from training schemes because their
>> behaviour changed after being attacked."
>>
>>
>>
>> New Zealand has 224 guide dogs. Recent violent incidents include:
>>
>>
>>
>> ? On April 5, a pup being taken home from school in Manurewa by walkers
>> was savaged by two dogs. It took bystanders several minutes to break the
>> dogs' grip. The puppy was treated for puncture wounds and withdrawn from
>> the training programme.
>>
>>
>>
>> ? On March 15, a pup was attacked by a bull terrier that leaped from a
>> vehicle and savaged the guide dog in a shop doorway in Te Atatu.
>>
>>
>>
>> The pup suffered bites to its front legs and is being monitored to see if
>> it is fit to resume training.
>>
>>
>>
>> ? On September 11, a pup was attacked in a park in Papatoetoe. It took
>> two people to prise the animals apart. The guide dog had puncture wounds
>> to her ear and chin and is not responding well to further ongoing
>> training. The dog responsible was impounded then destroyed.
>>
>>
>>
>> "Sadly, a lot of these cases are not able to be resolved because the
>> handler is not able to describe the dog or the location," Dorking said.
>>
>>
>>
>> Bob Kerridge, executive director at the SPCA in Auckland, said the
>> increasing numbers of attacks on guide dogs was of concern.
>>
>>
>>
>> "These attacks are very traumatic for the handlers and guide dogs," he
>> said. "The owners are pretty powerless when their guide dog is attacked
>> and it can be a very frightening experience."
>>
>>
>>
>> In May, deaf-blind Joan Lake's beloved guide dog Niesha (picture) was
>> mauled in the street by a snarling American bulldog.
>>
>>
>>
>> The 57-year-old from Templeview, Hamilton, was helped by passing
>> motorists who stopped to help.
>>
>>
>>
>> "Someone apparently kicked the bulldog in its private parts because it
>> was the only way to get it to let go of Niesha," Lake said.
>>
>>
>>
>> Lake had to pay more than $1,000 in vet bills for puncture wounds on her
>> labrador and to treat resulting infections. The bulldog was later put
>> down.
>>
>>
>>
>> "I worry it might happen again and there is nothing I could do about it."
