I take my dog to the park every day as part of our exercise routine, and today there were 2 jackasses hitting golf balls in the park with their pitbulls unleashed sitting beside them. My dog is trained to ignore other dogs so we continued out walk, and when we came around the curve on this path, the two pitbulls made a dash for my dog and started attacking him, gang style. They cut my dog's face up pretty good, he's bleeding down the side of his face. I kicked one of the pitbulls hard in the head to get him off my dog. As soon as it happened, the guys grabbed their dogs, ran to their car, and took off. My dog, scared because this was the first time he'd ever fought another dog in his life, took off running towards our house and I had to sprint to catch him. By the time I caught him, the guys were gone.
I dunno if I should call the police or not. I didn't get their license plate number, or see where they went, but they obviously lived in the neighborhood (it's a tiny park in the middle of the neighborhood). I think if I call the cops, they might destroy the dogs, which I don't want. But those are precisely the type of awful dog owners I hate. Who the fuck brings two pitbulls to the park without a leash? I'm so happy my dog wasn't more seriously injured.
Should I call the cops or just take care of my dog?
