Very sadly I lost my best mate "Little Titch" a couple of days ago, We got her from a rescue home about 6 years ago & she has been my constant companion more or less ever since, She was a truly wonderfull little Character.
Unfortunately we have elderly idiots living next door who decided during lockdown to import from a huge Dog from Romania (I dont know the breed) who the lady of the house has very little control over & the bloke of the house even less, sadd to say while I was down the other end of the garden cutting up wood there huge dog bulldozed its way through the fence / hedge & proceeded to attack Titch, by the time I was aware what was going on the huge dog had realeased its grip on Titch & she had managed to crawl back into our home,
Seeing the huge dog still in our garden I grabbed it by the collar to get it through the garden gate & off our land, I am a 16 stone builder & I could not move the Fuc#ing thing! so I went inside to care for Titch, put her in the car & straight to the vets where they found she had numerous broken ribs & huge internal damage & the only option was to put her to sleep,
I am still trying to come to terms with what happened hence my ramble, I have informed the police this morning & they are coming to see me tomorrow to have a chat, I have no idea what will happen if anything but all I can conclude is stupid people should not be in charge of huge (or any) dogs.
(Sorry about the ramble but I need to get my head round things & writing it down has helped a bit.)

Thanks, I have always known they are idiots but why they chose such a big powerfull dog I have no idea, we live out in the Shropshire countryside & as an area we are lucky to have very few problems with buglaries & stuff?Absolutely gutted for you mate, people who own big powerful Dogs which they can't control should have the full weight of the law thrown at them for incidents like this.
Dogs are lovely it's just some Dog owners are cunts, again sorry for your loss she was a beautiful best friend.
Thanks, she was always up to something but most of all she loved chasing her frisbee, to be honest if I had seen there dog attacking Titch I dont know what I would have done but there is a very big sledge hammer in the shed & I know I would have had trouble stopping myself.Gutted for you mate, devastating loss. I'd be tempted to go round with a fucking axe. Titch looks like a right one, bet she was full of beans

Sorry seems such an inadequate word in this situation. That's truly horrific. Border collies are truly wonderful animals. We had one back in the late 80s; their intelligence is frightening. And they're such softies as well.Very sadly I lost my best mate "Little Titch" a couple of days ago, We got her from a rescue home about 6 years ago & she has been my constant companion more or less ever since, She was a truly wonderfull little Character.

Thank you, I sat & worked it out last summer, Little Titch knew what around around 16-18 different words meant ie car, biscuit, breakfast, chew, frisbee, ball etc etc as you said the word she would run to each different thing, amazing little dog who I am missing badly at the moment.Sorry seems such an inadequate word in this situation. That's truly horrific. Border collies are truly wonderful animals. We had one back in the late 80s; their intelligence is frightening. And they're such softies as well.
When our Suzy passed away, I was heartbroken. So I have an inkling re what you're going through at the moment. And there's nothing I can say that will make you feel better. People will say, "it's only a dog". Which isn't true; they're so much more than that. Anyway, I'll just leave you with this thought; try to forget her last hour(s) with you, and remember all the joyous times you had with her.Thank you, I sat & worked it out last summer, Little Titch knew what around around 16-18 different words meant ie car, biscuit, breakfast, chew, frisbee, ball etc etc as you said the word she would run to each different thing, amazing little dog who I am missing badly at the moment.
