But it's hardly black and white here. The owner let her dog run out into
the street, and the dog was chasing and nipping. Granted it was a toy
dog, but those little teeth can hurt!
His mistake was obviously in kicking the dog way too hard, but I sure
wouldn't blame him for trying to get it away from him. The owner shares
some responsibility here.

My thoughts exactly. Owners should control their dogs. If that dog was a
pit-bull, there would be an entirely different media slant here.

Absolutely! Which is why nobody has decided what charges, if any,
should be filed. A 4# poodle is pretty easily punted without a lot of
intent, OTOH, the little ankle biter shouldn't have been out without a
recall.

Forgot to ad - I think they should BOTH be served
reprimands/fines/charges of sorts. 2 people who were wrong and the
dog pays.
Diddy - if it was a pitbull, I doubt he would have been able to kick
it that far and damage it that much - we would only have a "pitbull
attacks jogger" story. This isn't that far from me - it's a
waterfront community near Annapolis. It's all over our local news,
daily.

Regardless of breed, according to everything I've read and heard about
this incident, all the dog actually did was run to the sidewalk and yap at
the jogger's heels. That will not have the owner "facing charges" aside from
a possible civil citation for not keeping the dog on her property - this
happened on the sidewalk right in front of her house, so it's not like the
dog was running loose.
The other things about this incident that put the jogger far more in the
wrong than the owner, IMO:
One, the dog is TINY (less than 10 pounds), and couldn't possibly have
actually presented much of a threat - especially since she apparently wasn't
actually trying to bite.
Two, he kicked the dog literally across the street. WAY more force than you
need to get any dog to back off, even if the dog were larger.

Was one kick not enough? Self defense is one thing, but it appeared he
was trying to kill the dog. If a human had attacked him and he shot him
once and he was down that is self defense. A second and third shot
would be attempted murder. I think the jogger is in deep poo poo. I
hope the poodle will be ok. She should have had him leashed for sure.
My dog is ALWAYS on a leash unless he is in my or his sisters fenced in
yard. He will come when called but I take no chances.

If all he did was yap at his heels and wasn't even nipping this jogger
may be in some big big trouble. I believe I could outrun a 4# poodle.
I can outrun my 3.5 # Chihuahua and I'm not in the best of shape right
now.

If the dog never bit the guy thats about all they could charge her with.

He kicked the dog 3 times. You'd think 1 would have been enough or he
could have just run a little faster. Those poodles have pretty short
legs. It ain't like he was being chased by a greyhound or something.

So much depends on local law and local law enforcement. I
think we can talk about right and wrong but without specific
knowledge of the law in the locality where the thing
happened there's really no way to know who's going to be
considered responsible under the law for what.
There was a sickening thing in Michigan a few months ago,
where a junior musher repeatedly failed to contain her dogs.
Several (three, I believe) went over to a neighbor's where
they killed a couple of his rabbits. The neighbor shot the
dogs just as the kid owner arrived and as she was pleading
for him to stop. Apparently he hit a puppy in the butt and
the puppy tried to run off, so he tied a rope around its
neck, dragged it in front of the girl, and shot it again,
killing it this time.
You'd think it would be a clear case of animal cruelty, but
under the law what the neighbor did was legal because he'd
earlier informed animal control that the dogs were coming on
his property and threatening his livestock (the rabbits) and
they gave him permission to shoot them.
The law doesn't always say what you'd assume it would say,
and it's always, always necessary to contain your dogs.

That's awful. I'd be moving, but I'd also be making sure my dogs weren't
getting out!!!

Apparently they had just moved into that place and hadn't
yet gotten their dog containment squared away. The kid is
finding homes for the rest of her dogs. It's just a bad
situation. What the neighbor did went beyond protecting his
rabbits and was just cruel, but from what she's said herself
the girl was being careless about containment. She said
that she found an attorney and her parents are filing a
lawsuit.

Where I live, the law is clear. Loose dogs come onto your property and
threaten your livestock - sheep, cows, chickens, whatever - and you can
shoot them. Without asking permission. Loose dogs are a big, big problem
for livestock owners in many parts of the country.
That said, I think this guy was particularly insensitive. The rabbits were
already dead. He should have had the dog owners charged for allowing the
dogs loose and made them replace his livestock.
It's why my dogs are fenced, almost unique among the country-dwellers in my
area. I don't feel like buying my neighbors' calves at $300-800 per. Or
being charged for running weight off a couple hundred head of cattle, at
goodness knows what price per pound.

I sure would like to read the local law on this one, bec. where I live the
dog owner wouldn't stand a chance of winning a civil suit.

I can't imagine that she would, either, and apparently
several attorneys turned her down before she found one who'd
take the case. Take it from me: being an asshole isn't
illegal.

Yep. We live in the city, officially, but it's really a small town in
a county that is mostly from rural to very country. A few years ago,
when we were still doing Sibe rescue, a foster Siberian dug out of the
side yard when my brother-in-law was letting them out (I was in the
hospital after brain surgery at the time, and DH got a call while he
was visiting me). Said foster home went a street north (into the
township) and killed a few chickens. DH rushed home and there was the
foster dog, with feathers in her mouth. He went over to talk to the
chickens' owner and apologized all over himself, offering to pay for
the chickens. The chickens' owner kept muttering about calling the
police. Finally DH told him it was a rescue, if the guy wanted to
call the police, fine, he'd just take Nakita back to the APL and
they'd put her down. The guy settled down and didn't accept any money
for the chickens. But we were very lucky.

The last bite I got was from a tiny Pomeranian bitch. She managed to nip
my thigh through my jeans, about 2' from ground level. She drew blood,
albeit a tiny amount, and left a bruise.
I admit to nightmares about a flock of cute, cuddly, Cujo Pomeranians
swarming over me like a school of piranha, leaving nothing but a gnawed
skeleton. But maybe that's an over-reaction.
Dog owners should not allow their dogs to harass passersby, no matter what
size, shape, age, or condition the dog is in.

Maybe it's living with cattledogs, who're bred to take a kick and keep
coming, but I'm not sure about "way more force than you need to get any dog
to back off". Certainly more force than was needed to get that tiny yapper
to back off, but probably not *any* dog.

You've never tried to catch a little poodle, have you? I don't think
3 kicks were justified, but I wouldn't expect the guy to run away.
When our little poodle doesn't want to be caught, you see just how
athletic a breed it is. He's no greyhound, but he's damn fast.

I worked at a vet hospital as a kid. I've chased a lot of little dogs
including mine. They can be real hard to get hold of. They can change
directions in a flash. And if they don't have a collar on its hard to
get hold of something.

I guess its hard to say what I'd do in a situation like that. Not much
time to make a decision. I just figured if I was already running
(jogging) and a dog was coming after me I'd try to run a little faster
before I stopped and took the time to kick him. (and give him a chance
to get a good bite) I'd hope when I got past the house the dog would
give up and go home. This worked for me a lot as a kid. Maybe I was
just darn lucky. I was definitely a lot faster. The dog might have
chased him 10 miles. I know in a dead sprint I can beat my dog at least
until I get real winded. I just figured if this guy was jogging he had
to have been in better shape than me because the only jogging I do is
to the mailbox and back in the rain.
> When our little poodle doesn't want to be caught, you see just how

I didn't mean to imply they weren't athelitic. Its just I know I can
usually outrun a short legged dog if we're racing. Now catching one is
a totally differnt story!

I can out run my Chi, but he can definitely outmaneuver me. He can spin
around and change directions in a flash. If he didn't want to get
caught I might not be able to catch him until he did. Luckily he'll
come to me when called. Unfortunately he doesn't always do the same for
my wife which agrivates her to no end.<g>

If he were being chased by a greyhound, the greyhound would have
passed him up and he wouldn't have had to worry about it.

Sez you? You're a MENTAL CASE. Suppose the jogger was
AFRAID of dogs? Ever hear of Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome?
Suppose the jogger was diabetic? Ever hear of folks losin a limb
from a TINY WHOWEND?

They are brilliant in agility, hardly any breed better at that size.

That just brought a thought to my head that gave me a much needed
smile on a Friday. It seems to me that different breeds would have
different reactions to running out of the garage door to see a jogger
going down the street. So while the little poodle may have said to
himself, "I am going to run that intruder off!" or if it were Mimi's
poodle, "I am a German Shepherd, FEAR ME!1!" your greyhound would be
thinking more along the lines of "It's a RACE! YAY!!!" Then I was
thinking what other dogs might say. At my house, depending on the
dog, you could get Sammie, the FEAR my fluffy ferocity response or one
of the following:
"Look! Someone new has come over to play with me and pet me!" (which
may well scare the jogger more than the poodle response)
"Oh puhleeze! Isn't it bad enough I have to share my domain with all
these people and dogs already? Now more of them are showing up to get
on my nerves?"
"Yeah, you just keep running *away* from the house, and nobody gets
hurt, right, Mom? Or should I let him stay like that guy who turned
off my flushing water bowl just because you think he's okay?"
What would your dogs say at seeing the jogger as they came out of the
garage door?

To our mini poodle, all the world is an agility course, and he's never
even heard of agility.
