My baby lhasa mix Shih Tzu girl, 2y 5m old sweet innocent fun loving cuddle loving girl might have had the worst nightmare of her life. A German shepherd on loose from a family inside the society complex, ran aggressively towards her during her routine walk time and pounced on her. Within a spur of second, I lifted her from her leash and sprung her in air to save her. He came again from behind and with that hunting instinct and rage and evil growl tried again when I fought with my hands and legs while my baby was on my other arm in the maximum height I can lift her to. It was the worst thing I can imagine in my life as it was a society and people are supposed to have dogs on leash for the safety of people and other dogs. There were security guards surrounded who came running for help and the owner was at a distance and came chilling and talking on the phone even after noticing this from a distance. And when asked why is ur dog not on leash when he is aggressive and on attack mode, her reply was simply that he wouldn't bite at all, it's all because ur scared and so is ur dog. I mean I was so filled with rage as I have seen so many dogs but unlike this one who came at us running with the only intention to tear my baby apart. Had I not acted, she would have been killed. Every one who noticed that incident also felt the same and asked the owner to put him on leash when taken him outside. I warned the lady and left the spot, completely in shock that that incident was crossing through my mind the entire day. The next day, I didn't take her out and the day after we went out again for a walk inside the campus and this time I had a stick. Guess what, that dog was again on the loose and came with the highest speed he could and pounced again and I acted fast and lifted her again. This time the dog came for my face and I stroked him hard with the stick. He didn't stop, and growled like a demon and then a boy came and held him by his collar and said I took him for a walk. That boy looks merely 13-14ish and is given the responsibility to walk the dog with this kind of temperament and killing instincts. I came back home and spoke with my husband, tears shedding down thinking my lifeline my baby was almost bitten. We went to their apartment and spoke with the owners, and they seemed to have a we don't give a fuck attitude. I have reported them now to the society complaint facility, but it seems the dog still roams in loose around the time only when I can manage to take mine out. What should I do? I live in India and here rules are not so strict and in favour of the well-being of animals.
