As a general rule it is said that the dog is the ideal companion, the faithful "friend" or the best friend of man and even turns out to be helpful in a more therapeutic sense.
However, and also in a particular way, on some occasions the opposite may occur, in these situations the /dogs often become a problem for society of which its owner is a part. And they know this very well in Veriña, where the inhabitants have been worrying about the havoc two large breed dogs have been causing with mastiff crossing traits, which walk freely around the meadows and have already accumulated many serious attacks on livestock.
Why educate your dog
Dogs they can be found abandoned and loose on the streets, but nevertheless, its danger comes from something much more personal and is basically the origin of these dogs. This refers to whether the dogs are well socialized or not. If someone owns a bad dog and one day it runs away from home, could represent a very great danger for the other people.
And that it is usually very common in dogs found on farms and which have practically never had proper contact with any person and also with other animals, even when they were only small puppies. Later if they escape, these types of dogs commonly become a real danger both for other animals and for the people who may be around them, as explained by a prestigious veterinarian.
This same vet added that from the moment a puppy is born, during the first 5 and 6 months of life, there is a period of socialization and depending on the way in which it is socialized, it will mark the future of that dog.
To the above it must be added that in the case of Veriña, in which the inhabitants have had the need to intervene due to the aggressive attitude that the 2 dogs had with a small child, since as we mentioned previously, dogs are of a large breed and according to the same veterinarian and clearly due to its large size, these dogs are much more dangerous, since a dog that weighs approximately 50 or 70 kilos, without a doubt, has the capacity to cause great and serious damage.
These dogs, when attacking cattle, usually eat the lambs without the greatest difficulty and normally when the 2 attack the same prey, the situation turns out to be really much worse.
The vet has also expressed that the city council has a clear responsibility with the two dogs and they must begin to take charge of the situation to capture them before they cause further damage.
The education of a dog is your responsibility
This vet thinks and expresses that most likely these two dogs that have been free and attacking the cattle in Veriña, are on the loose because they have escaped from a farm or that someone may have released them; however, the second option is not actually the most common and he points out that this is why responsible ownership of these animals has to be appealed.
Some of the people who live in the town of Veriña, usually ask the following question: And how should you react if any of the inhabitants will come across one of these dogs? And in this case the answer is a bit difficult, since there is clearly the opportunity to run away, however, this turns out to be the worst option since the dogs could follow the person.
However, it is also quite clear that the keep a cool head at the moment and think clearly which is the best option can be a really difficult thing.
