That dumb ass should have his pet owner abilities revoked, dogs like that require training
If I am reading this right, out of state dog owners don't have to follow any animal laws in Tennessee. >

What in the fuck...
If my dog was eaten and the authorities told me nothing could be done because the attacking dogs were from out of state I would be going to jail.
Like I am seriously scared of what the repercussions would be for myself because I would not be rational. >

Just go into a different state before you do whatever you're going to do and you'll be in touchable. >

The In Touchables >

Sounds like a frottage based incredibles themed porno. >

Breaking news! Leash you dogs! >

No no my dog is special! What? Ahhh! He’s never done that before I swear! 

every single entitled unleashed dog owner ever >

Whatever bro. I'm a leopard owner. Leopards are gentle, loving creatures. My Leopard isn't going to eat anyone's face >

Right? I have the MOST GENTLE POLAR BEAR EVER!! >

Jesus the bullshit we have to endure because people won't secure their fucking animals >

My niece and nephew, 10 and 12, were both just attacked by the  new neighbors' dog, 1 of 4 dogs they have in a small split entry. Multiple puncture wounds and tears. Dog was put down. Moral of the story, put your dogs on a leash or fence them in. >

Also: sue their asses
Edit:
I mean sue the neighbors’ asses. 
The kids have already been through enough >

Neighbor is a cop also, public safety should be number 1. >

Right, should probably put the neighbor down too.  As cops are a breed known for their aggression. >

"Her surviving dog doesn’t yet realize that Tobie was killed, she said. 'Sadie lays by the door waiting for her brother to come home.' " >

Utterly heartbreaking. >

“He told police he let his dogs, a German Shepherd and a Belgian Malinois, go into the woods beside the hotel to relieve themselves, as they are used to going out unleashed on their property at home in Nebraska. “
The owner just let the dogs loose in an unfamiliar location, never mind not on a lead, but not supervised at all?! And the law says nothing can be done? Well, maybe this is a sign those damn laws need to be changed. >

Can you imagine how horrifying that was to watch your beloved pet killed brutally in front of you? I have a family member who had that happened to him. You don't get over that. >

Yeah, my dog was repeatedly attacked, almost always by some type of bull breed monstrosity.  She never learned from this and always optimistically assumed that every dog she saw wanted to be her friend. So she'd go trotting up like 'Hello fellow dog!' and they'd go for her while typically the useless fucking owner would stand there doing fuck all while I had to drag their dog off of mine. Mostly not much damage but we did have a costly vets' bill once. I think it was at least as traumatic for me as it was for her, you can't help but worry and be protective about your dog. I started wearing my steel toe cap work boots when walking her.
Edit - TBF sometimes the little yappy ones have a bad attitude too, they just do less damage and are less scary. >

My dog has been charged at a couple of times by unleashed dogs. She's small and leashed, so I quickly pulled her back and picked her up while the other dogs tried to jump at at me. And while I'm there trying not to drop her or fall over, their owners just leisurely jog over and give the whole "don't worry he's friendly! He just wants to play" excuse.
Like absolutely the fuck not! Get your dog off me before I kick them away. I hate hurting animals but if I have to to protect me and my dog I will. I absolutely can't stand people who refuse to leash their dogs in public spaces. They always claim their dogs are friendly or obedient with good recall.
Well guess what? Every dog is friendly until they aren't. Every dog is obedient until something you didn't know about beforehand triggers them. >

Same with my dog. Had a neighbor and their dog got out and saw me walking mine and ran. I was new to the complex so I wasn’t sure if it was attacking or not. My dog reacts really bad though whether a dog is running up being friendly or mean. I freaked out and scooped her up just before the dog got there. >

Wow, I just made a comment last week about how I hate unleashed dog owners. Also, how it's one of my worst fears my little dog will be killed by a bigger dog.
Edit: everyone please keep your dogs on a leash >

I have a 10lb leash-reactive rescue. I’m always furious and afraid when some off leash dog comes running over. I don’t care how friendly they think their dog is, mine isn’t! and i don’t want that starting a fight. I’m glad at least that I can pick him up. >

Same, but mine’s a 65 pound dog that thinks she’s 10 pounds. FWIW, I found muzzling my dog stops altercations from escalating into a fight plus it stops her from eating whatever she finds on the ground. >

So as a TN resident. Let me put this clear. Those dogs can be seized and destroyed pursuant to a civil complaint. There are some gaps in the reporting. What animal control said directly is strictly true, administratively. But in effect, there is no restriction if she wants to pursue the issue. Control your dogs or lose them. This was stupid, he was being lazy and deserves an assault case for it. >

So remember fellow Tennessee residents. If your dog kills somebody just claim that it's not actually your dog. You're just watching it for your aunt who lives in a different state. >

Sounds like the same would hold true if the dogs had attacked one of the kids getting off the bus. This rule requires a rethink. >

Is this the best they could do with the headline?
i.e. "Headline written on computer used by editor employed by newspaper published in Tenn." >

Yeah I forgot to mention r/titlegore >

Welcome to the unpleasant reality where you now must have thought about what to do in a big dog attack and come to terms with the fact that you may need to kill a dog. 
Isn't it great how shitty, irresponsible people make the world worse for everyone? >

Both dogs should be put down and he should be in jail. >

That man should've missed that last train >

This is no time to Monkee around. >

I’ve been bit by 3 unleashed dogs, guess what every owner says. “Oh he’s usually so good, I don’t understand how this could happen.” Your dog doesn’t understand either, it’s a dog. It needs your protection to live in our society. It’s for the dogs safety as well as everyone else who has to live near your poorly trained animal. >

“There’s not a whole lot we can do other than notify their animal control in their county that a bite occurred, and the dog needs to be quarantined when they get home,” Kaske said. 
That isn't going to happen, and anyone who thinks that or says that is an idiot. You're hicks. Your county doesn't have the laws needed to enforce basic safety. >

It doesn’t matter the breed that the attacking dog were ( to all the people suprised it wasn’t a pitbull ). It can be any dog breed. I knew a toy poodle that would straight up murder a mastiff if he could, like a damn fuzzy piranha, he was, if he got loose he would home in the nearest dog and attack. The owners knew this and kept him in the yard or leashed up, but nobody trusted him around other dogs or chocolate cake >

I had to deal with a little yappy dog that mauled a baby' s face unrecognizable. We had all kinds in for rabies quarantine. >

Oh gods, I’m so sorry :( is the baby ok or getting there? :( >

No idea, we just quarantined the dog. It was later euthanized. The kid went to some special facial reconstruction surgeon so I hope so >

" Doesn't Apply to Me "  seems to be recurring theme with ignorant Americans these days.
I posted this once before it got locked, but I witnesses this arrogant sob with some kinda medium sized hound, on a university campus and no leash. The dog was sniffing everywhere, as dogs do, but considerably far from the owner. Then it saw another dog, smaller, that was on a leash and b-lined after it. While it wasn't biting at it, the leashed dog was in distress as was the owner, since his dog was now wrapping around the owner in fear.
The unleashed dog's owner, sipping coffee, tried to call his dog off. The leashed owner could be heard yelling at both the unleashed dog and its owner.
Fuck entitled, ignorant aholes. Dogs are pets but unleashed, they're still canines and they use them. >

Shocked its not pitbulls for once >

Let me guess: Pitbulls?
​
EDIT: am genuinely shocked! Germans Shepherd and Belgian Malinois! >

Didn't even read the article before going full dumb. fuck off. >

About 90% of the time this kind of news involve pitbulls. So it is shocking when some other breed is involved. >

Yes you've said you're "shocked". Presumptuous clown. >

You seem angry, why? Because someone reminded you that pitbulls are an absolute menace of a breed? >

Get back in your fear hole, troll. >

Nice c&p, great "facts". lol, dogsbite.org is the equivalent of  newsmax or tucker carlson reporting. again, clown. 
Let me ask you: what is a pitbull? (assuming i'm about to get some more copypasta from a really reputable site) >

Commenting here that it’s a pitbull before I read the article to see if I’m right
Edit: aaahhhhh shit >

Those dogs should be destroyed, and the owner fined at minimum. Just because you do something at home doesn't mean you can/should do that away from home. >

How is it not a pitbull? It's always a pitbull. >

A husky killed a baby last month but that barely made the local news. >

I don't understand the tone of that article at all. Was the husky mauling the baby was the husky playing with the baby like dogs do when they lightly bite? >

It killed the baby >

Yes but the child was 4 days old, they still have very soft heads, so it wouldn’t take a ton of pressure to injure. The husky could have been playing with it and accidentally hurt it. I’m not defending it, anyone who lets a husky that close to an almost newborn is stupid but it’s possible that it wasn’t a disgustingly vicious attack but an awful accident with an over-excited under-observed dog. There’s no info in the article. >

What's the difference? A child was horribly killed. >

They just don't care or it wasn't a pitbull so it's all good. >

Send this unresponsible dog owner to Antarctic with nothing but a sleeping bag and a pair of crocs. Don’t punish any dogs for some
Dumb persons choices >

I was with this lady until she said "fur babies". >

At what point are you allowed to shoot an unleashed dog that poses a threat? >

Last train to Clarksville and I’ll meet you at the station. 
I can be there by 4:30 cuz I’ve made my reservation.
Don’t be slow, oh no no no, oh no no no
And I don’t think your dog is coming home
