Tragic Experience!

On the 4th of July, a Tragic experiences has dawn upon Coby. He was been bitten ferociously by another dog when we were at the school for obedience training. Such irony that its happen at a school for obedience training however it's not the school's fault.

Coby had just finish his obedience training and we were about to sent him for grooming. when we were waiting, the owners of another dog just arrive to pick their dog up form grooming session. As the owner (wife) was attracted to Coby she came over and pat him and ask her dog (Australian Husky) to play with Coby, instantly the dog snap and begin to bite coby by it neck and shake him vigorously like a ragged toy. Coby was screaming at the top of his lungs and the owner (wife) decide to be a heroine and tried to separate the dogs and in the event she was bitten/scratched. This was the most traumatizing event  we have ever experience witness and our poor Coby was injured at the side of left jaw. its was bleeding profusely from the wound. we were freak out and immediately sent him to the vet for check up. Before we left, the owners approach the shop keepers that they will make a compensation and we exchange number before we left.

The vet saw Coby and told us that he would need to shave off some of his fur to see the extend of his injury. After the vet shaved Coby's fur off, we nearly screech in horro when we saw the extend of his wound. The skin tissue was teared so badly that it expose the muscle tissue, but luckily it did not damage any of the muscle tissue.

Coby was brave, when the vet was cleaning his wound, he did not make any noise as he endure the pain and we could see tears falling out of his eyes. The nurses and the vet were surprise at his temperament and after the cleaning of the wound, Coby even attempted to lick the vet. His action prompted the vet to make a statement "This is really a affectionate and brave dog". We felt bad for him as he did not need to go through this pain and he lick us as if to tell us not worry about him as he is fine. He is well loved by the nursed and vet at the clinic and they look forward seeing him for the next review in 1 weeks time. 


However the other owners did not even call up and check on Coby's situation and in turn we need to ask the shop keepers of the obedient school on how our compensation will be settled. To our horror, i had called the owener (wife) and she told me arrogantly that she did not want to pursue the matter as my puppy had bitten her. i tried to reason with her that her dog started the whole fiasco else this would not have happened. she told me that my puppy had bitten her and her dog protected her by biting my puppy and she arrogantly ask me to lodge a police report if i want to. this is totally ridiculous and its clear that they are trying to shake off the responsibility.

This incident has shown the inhumane side of human where there is totally no compassion and responsibility. there is no choice but for Coby to bite the bullet this time round as the higher authorities would not interfere.  We can only be more vigilant on our part to prevent this from repeating itself.

We can only pray for Coby to have a speedy recovery and nurse him back to health. He is an affectionate dog by nature which gives his loves whole heartedly to you with no condition, however its us human who do not give our love whole heartedly to him and our love comes with condition. Does it make us human smaller than a dog?
