[Lincolnparkdc] Dog attack in Lincoln Park

[JE Writer Editor]

 Sorry to hear that Mia. Yes, in Lincoln Park, in March, I was attacked by an off-leash pit bull. 
When the owners know their dog has aggressive tendencies, it's appalling they would have the dog off the leash. These attacks are terrifying and traumatic. The can cause serious injury or worse. 
In both cases, it seems like the owners brushed it off. It's unlIkely either human or dog behavior improved. A few minutes later, the owner simply moved her dog to another part of the park and continued her irresponsible practices. This is not acceptable.

 This evening my little 18 pound jack russell was attacked by a lightweight blond boxer. My dog was on a leash.  Theirs was off leash.  The owners said they lived in the neighborhood.  

My dog has never been attacked like that in Lincoln Park before, and when I asked the owners they said that the dog had only attacked like that over food.  This was NOT  a food related attack. It was unprovoked.  If the owner had not been there to grab their dog, I don’t know what would have happened.  

If this has happened to anyone else on the list serve i would so appreciate a response. It was an incredibly terrifying moment.
