Rescue Dog Loses Leg In Fight (Rocky helped find survivors in the wake of Hurricane Katrina)
Rescue Dog Loses Leg In Fight
January 17, 2011 11:37 PM




SACRAMENTO (CBS13) – A search and rescue dog who helped find survivors in the wake of Hurricane Katrina is facing a rough road to recovery after losing a leg in a fight with a neighbor’s dogs.

Rocky, a German Shepherd, fought four dogs that broke through a wooden fence and attacked his sister, Missy.

Rocky’s owner, Sean Crabtree, wasn’t at his Yuba County home when the attack happened and the dog wasn’t found until six hours after the incident. Missy was completely unharmed.

“His whole leg was ripped, just ripped apart on the inside,” Sean said. “I’m telling you, amazing resilience.”

The owner of the attacking dogs, Josh Spurlock, said he was out of town when the incident took place and a friend left his dogs outside despite warnings to the contrary.

3. Why do you assume that?
Because you think that only pit bulls are vicious? Because he had four dogs? Because they came through the fence.

It is people like you, who assume without knowing, that are part of the reason that pit bulls get a bad name.

What, you don't think that other breeds are vicious? I can take you to meet a vicious border collie who is so vicious that he tries to body tackle vans, not to mention bite humans and attack other dogs.

Please, keep such unwarranted speculation to yourself.

4. If the fence can't contain them - they need to be Put Down

FUCK I AM SO SICK OF HEARING OF LITTLE KIDS BEING ATTACKED BY THIS FUCK UP BREED



Much less another dog

What RIGHT does anyone have to keep some inbred mentally disturbed K-9 in close proximity to humans

Save your bleeding heart Pit Bull appeal for some one who thinks PitBulls should be some thing other ground up for Cat Food

6. Ah, so you're one of those people,
No arguing with you then, apparently you have your mind made up already, and nothing, including facts, is going to persuade you to any other point of view.

As a pit bull owner, pit rescuer, please know that I despise people like you. "Ground up for Cat Food" hmm, is that how you think. Just like a Teabagger, willing to spread lies and bullshit that simply aren't based on fact.

Well, I'm not going to try and dissuade you, as Twain said, you can try and teach a pig to sing, but it only irritates the pig and makes you look foolish. I try not to look foolish when it comes to such things.

Have a nice day, and keep right on assuming things:eyes:

5. I realize the article didn't mention the breed of the attacking dogs,
but what breed of dog will attack a german shepard and cause the kind of damage that leads to leg amputation? By the way, I fail to see why the owner of the attacking dogs didn't even get a citation.
WTF?

7. Many kinds of breeds of dogs, geez.
Haven't been around dogs much?

Chows will attack, I've had a coonhound attack my pitbull as we walked by, cockerspaniels are vicious little dogs, male dogs, trying to establish territory, dogs trying to establish their social order, really now, any dog can and will attack another dog, for a variety of reasons that may or may not be obvious to humans. They are, after all, dogs, and fighting others of their species is something that happens on occasion. Of course they're not like humans, who not only will attack their neighbors, but members of their species halfway around the world.

2. That's a bunch of unsupervised dogs.
People are putting too much trust in their fences.
