Sorry OP :/ my 100 pound Rottweiler would probably do the same, but lay down if it took too long, if that makes you feel better
I don't have a dog, but I think my friends toy poodle would go crazy on an attacker!
1- I very much doubt that, after reading your comment, OP magically became happy.
Upon first glance, I read this FML as 'Today a 90 pound fully grown German guy sniffed and wagged his tail...' I think that means I'm tired.
My 11 pound dog would defend me... I can rest easy knowing i'm sleeping safe tonight!
I'm just stuck here wishing my dorm building allowed pets :/
My grandma has a chihuahua x jack russell. It's not trained to attack but it's vicious to anyone but her. Once it's got it's teeth around your leg there's just no shaking it off :L If anyone tried to mug her they would end up in hospital. Just shows there's exceptions to every species.
51 - Don't think yours is an exception, chihuahuas are nasty bastards, from what I know...
50- my girlfriend has the same breed of dog (chihuahua x jack russell) . Definately a smart breed. She always does what she is told. But she gets pretty agressive too. Mainly towards bigger dogs. Must be frustrating being no bigger than a boot.
My Maltese would bark like crazy and then run away the second the mugger took a step closer to him... At least he tries? :)
My giant Labrador would jump on and lick the mugger, begging to be played with.
My 130 pound German Shepard would probably do he exact same thing except he would beg the mugger to throw his ball
My 145 pound chocolate lab, working breed hunting trained dog, would lick the attacker to death.
That's a big dog!!!
Who would be stupid enough to rob someone with a large protection dog even though me shep would probably do the same
My tiny miniature dachshund would tear into the persons leg. Bigger dogs seem to usually be nicer unless trained to be protective or cautious
Sorry OP..he probably didn't know what was happening though so don't get too mad at him.
You guys don't get it, do you? Dogs are eeeeevil! They know all the muggers, murderers, pedophiles, whatever. And they're in with them. You've been warned.
49- I'd like to point out a few obvious things there, since it is clear that my comment did not work on this FML. 1- My icon is a cat, and the information is told from a "cat perspective". 2- My added letters to evil either make it seem like I'm illiterate, or not being serious. 3- No sane person would ever think one species is all this or all that. I was kidding, and I apparently should not be making comments in the middle of the night, but that doesn't mean you have to be a jerk.
Just because it's a German Shepherd doesn't mean it automatically knows to save you.
This. Maybe be a man and defend yourself rather than expecting an animal to do it for you.
Its a girl there is a symbol at the top with the fml to show if its a male or female. This happens to be a girl
That's not always the case. I've read some that is obviously from a guy that has a girl symbol.
Great comment, try reading about the FML first
German Shepards don't automatically go ham when a threat nears. It takes much training, which often just makes them meaner all around. Maybe a taser would help??? Idk...
Lol chill out.
Still better than your German Shepherd attacking any of your friends that come over.
63... That was 4's point....
The point is that dogs shouldn't be trained to be killing machines. Anyone who tries to do so Is a scumbag.
Lol, mine GSD came from a strong background, he's 60lbs and he's only 6 months, his father was 150 and he wasn't fat, needless to say he'd probably do the same so don't worry.
Sometimes it's just enough to stun while you kick their teeth in
You can't just asume because a dog is big or a certain breed that it will protect you. It has to be trained to do so. Some dogs are more protective then others, but if you raise it to love everyone around you then you can't complain if something like this happens. I'm sorry that you got mugged and I hope the guy gets caught, but don't blame it on the dog.
Blame it on the alcohol.
It's true. It is a common mistake to think that dogs will jump to your help when you are in a situation of distress. Dogs need to be trained for that, like a guide dog or dogs that are assisting people who do seizures. If they are not taught to recognize danger, they won’t understand that there is an issue. But it is still safer to have a dog that is not trained for this type of situation because it could very likely attack you for instance if you are playing peek-a-boo with your kids and the kids scream for fun.
True. My dog seems to gauge our reactions befors he reacts, if my GF screams his hackles are up and will take on anyone.
#75, I was wondering about the dog's attachment, too. It didn't seem to consider OP "pack." I grew up with a runt female German Shepard who was like you described: fun when the mood was casual, instantly fierce at a hint of threat to us. We didn't have to train her to protect those she considered her's.
Tell that to the apartments I lived in. I'm glad I moved to a house, lol. My GSD is a baby and acts like he's a small puppy, hahaha. Love him to death.
Must have thought it was playtime! D;
"Play!?"
For sale: One ******* useless dog
There is more to an animal then just protection. I know for a fact that if someone were to try and mug me or break into my house, my oldest would act like he just made a new best friend.
Replace dog with human, said useless Human is GrantW2505, make human trafficking and vending legal. Doesn't look good from that point of view, does it?
Lol relax 11's comment was hilarious
36 - it wasn't hilarious, you must have a weird sense of humour. 11 - dogs aren't just for protection! Why do you think people get Chihuahuas?! He's not 'useless' at all, he just wasn't trained to attack.
#11, Had to thumb you up. If my German Shepard would not protect me, I could not feel the same about it. Perhaps it would be better suited to another owner.
My dog is 6 pounds and it would frighten the most scary of creatures/people!
Usually the smaller the dog the more aggressive and protective they are.
Ironic, isn't it? The more protective a dog is, the less it will actually be able to protect you.
