I don’t know if it’s just missing from the clips, but the lack of concern from the defendant’s really irked me. You have a small timid child who was hurt and you came into court attempting to blame him for your dog’s bad behavior? It rubbed me wrong. If you need to stop and stand to the side to attempt to control your dog, you already have previous knowledge that your dog might cause a problem. It sounds like the dog is untrained, unsocialized, or has a bad temperament. Why attempt to evade accountability when you clearly know.

[@donnawoodford6641]

Idk, but JJ is an animal lover. She knows dogs, and her explanation to the defendent sounds very logical to me. The boy is well-mannered. I'm still shaking my head about the defendant's behaviors. I would not like to be her neighbor.

[@tyronehuston1260]

The defendant is not providing any proof that the child antagonized the dog. She's pretty much saying that it was his fault he got bitten.

[@hannahgregor470]

My dog doesn’t like people, but the handful of times she’s bitten someone, I’ve always known and apologized profusely and felt so bad. I would have taken care of anything they requested (within reason) because I KNOW my dog is like that.

My dog very is well trained, however if I am walking my dog and someone is walking past or trying to get by, I move my dog to the opposite side of where that person is walking and keep the leash tight so my dog walks by my side, because we are NEVER, absolutely positive about how a dog may or may not react.

Judge Judy has a mind like a steel trap. And there's always someone stupid enough to think they can blur the truth and she wouldn't notice. The moment they feel those blades tightening around their necks is priceless.

There’s someone out there who thinks that they get aggressive with Judge Judy. Big news, is they can’t. Or that they can make her look like a fool. But the think is, and note this is what she’s said before. “They don’t keep me up here because I’m gorgeous, they keep me up here, because I’m smart.”

[@SarahJSwift]

@Ellie5621 he could have still come up close from behind if he passed her, then walked back a bit and got himself bitten. Many kids these days think they can just walk up to strange dogs and pet them without asking first, maybe that's what he did when the woman's back was turned. I've had similar things happen to me when I've had my dog. I was stood in a bus shelter, there was someone there asking me about her, he did ask if he could stroke her and I said no, she doesn't know you and she will nip. He kept asking, and I carried on saying no, it wasn't until I looked up the road to check for my bus, that the dumb sh*t suddenly bent down and stroked her, and guess what, he got nipped. I did tell him not to many times. He still wasn't happy and continued bemoaning the fact she'd nipped him. His own fault not mine or my dogs. She was quite happy sitting there by my feet, being a good girl. Now kelsey would only do things like that if she was scared. If people ignored her, she would be fine. She never growled or barked at anyone. Now, she was only very scared of men. She was scared of women too, but not to the extent with men. Due to a past traumatic experience.

[@jadeinthewoods]

It really bothers me when dog owners don’t take responsibility for their aggressive dogs. I have 2 young children and I can’t imagine keeping an animal in my home who has bit someone, let alone another child.

[@SineN0mine3]

We adopted a dog from a family with young kids because the dog couldn't be trusted not to bite them. He's had extensive training to correct it but he's still prone to snapping on occasion. Its really not that difficult to keep kids and strange dogs away from him. He's friendly as long as nothing is scaring him, but he has a glass nerve and a stubborn nature. If there's going to be kids in the house we just have the dog out and vice versa. He used to wear a muzzle on walks but since he's very well behaved on the lead we just tell people passing by not to put their hands near his mouth and that's been fine. We obviously can't tie him up outside a store or let him play at the park off lead, but he has enough freedom to run around the yard with the other dogs at home. Some people can't deal with the fact that old dogs don't change. They praise bad behaviour in puppies and fail to do anything to manage it when the dog is older. Once the dog is an adult there's a limited amount you can do to train them and all dogs have some personality quirks. Having a bad dog doesn't mean you're a bad person, it just means taking the extra steps to keep other people safe around them. Our rescue it a dangerous little bugger but he always feels very guilty after biting someome. He doesn't want to do it, but he can't help his instinct when he feels scared. No idea why he's so messed up since the family who gave him up were lovely and sweet but I think they treated him like a baby instead of a dog since he's quite sure he belongs on a couch and not outside. He gets better all the time, but i doubt there will ever be a time when he can be trusted not to bite.

[@KaitoKiara]

BS. There can be lots of reasons why the dog bit the child. And I don't mean, it was the child's fault. The least plausible story is Judge Judy's jealousy. More likely the dog feels the urge to protect the baby and to raise it, that's what his instincts tell him. The dog didn't try to kill the boy, he bit him, because the first warning, barking, had no effect. That's why the mum needs to react and like Judy said, get out of the way of the boy. At home, she either needs to train the dog with the baby or she needs a dog trainer to help her. But as usual it is easier to call the dog aggressive and get rid of him then to put in work.

Always a possibility. I was bitten by a dog myself when I was a teenager. Mostly I felt bad because the owner had to punch his pooch in the head to get her to let go of me. Thankfully, and probably as an animal person I didn’t develop a fear of dogs. But I feel for people who do get traumatized by situations like these. Unlike this lady, the guy walking the dog that bit was probably more traumatized than I was, since I was the first instance of it happening.

[@Kayenne54]

I've been extremely wary of dogs always, but more so after one just leapt a tiny fence and savaged my arm. If I hadn't opted to carry a fold up umbrella which I hit his nose with, I may have had worse injuries. To this day, no idea why he took an instant dislike to me, but dogs are territorial, and it looked like the owner was home so dog was on full guard duty. Owner never came out when I yelled out to them either. Reported it straight to the police station with my arm still bleeding. Actually I didn't want the dog put down; the owner however should have been flogged 20 times for not securing his animal properly. If we did this instead of putting the animals down willy-nilly, owners would be far more careful.

If her dog is able to bite someone from just walking past it, what's going to happen when she turns her back and the baby pulls at the dog's ears or tail? It's likely that dog will snap.

[@Uifon]

​@@sabrinasadler6545 I think the word "snap" might be an understatement, to be honest. An unfamiliar kid just walking past the dog resulted in a bite wound that required slight medical treatment. I think it's going to be pretty easy to imagine what'll happen to the daughter when she's crawling around and decides to tug on the dog's tail/ears, and it's truly tragic to think about.

[@rekcusdoo]

All dogs are dangerous. And that's something most dog owners seem in denial about. They "humanize" dogs by calling them their kids, their babies, their child or whatever else.... but dogs are ANIMALS and ANY dog is capable of biting in a violent manner at any time if they are triggered by something that upsets their animal instincts.

[@AkephalosXx]

@@ScarletBrimstone that is not how dogs work :'D If you bring a kid home (in you have a baby) there is work you have to do so the dog doesn't get jealous. You never leave a dog alone with a child because children don't know how to read a dog and might hurt it without knowing they do. The dog will react. Dogs don't become aggressive just because. There is always a reason to it and the reason usually has something to do with the owner (or previous negative events)

[@ScarletBrimstone]

@@AkephalosXx as I stated in another comment, mess with the hierarchy and the dog won't like it. Dogs still function in a pack mentality. If you bring a baby home, the dog has to constantly be reminded that the baby is above them in rank or the dog will choose to act out. Dogs also are known to develop issues with the general demographic that they take issue with. "doesn't like men" ring a bell? One experience is all it takes.

[@MoosFantaSea]

We also need to take into account that some people also falsely accuse other peoples dogs of biting. My neighbour has a Leonberger - giant dog breed, friendliest thing. We live just down the road from a school. Some kids got scared of the dog because it barked at them after they threw rocks at it while it was outside in a FENCED IN YARD, my neighbour scolded them for doing so. Day after, police shows up and says that the dog has to be put down for "mauling a 10 year old". Because barking = mauling now. Some kids and parents are just malicious idiots. Some breeds, like most bully breeds (looking at you, american bully) should just go extinct.

[@Zerogreelynn]

I agree. If it's hard for humans to adjust to a new baby (which it absolutely can be i.e myself as a first time mom and watching all of my cousins have multiple children) then it can be hard for a dog. The difference is, children throw temper tantrums. Adults do too in a sense but usually it showcases in depression, anxiety, irritability etc. Dogs on the other hand, will bite.

I hope the little boy is doing ok, I love JJ and I’m glad she could find the truth .

[@MikeWalls7829]

I hope she realises the seriousness of what Judy saying, she could end up in jail for negligent homicide, get your dog in order ffs!

[@elaine462]

So true about the dog. She should not let that dog near her baby, just like JJ said.

Hello there Elaine, how are you?

[@yukimasahiko]

I take my dog on walks to go pick up my niece at school. If I notice children being afraid of my dog. No matter how friendly she is, I move to the other side and let them pass. But it’s clear, if u wanna keep the dog, get it training. U can train any dog, but u gotta be willing to do the hard work. I train dogs, and it’s a lot of work. I worked with a deaf pit but her family didn’t wanna make the effort. And the poor baby would break out of the yard and come to my house to play with my Dobbie. They were best friends… But they believed she couldn’t be trained cause she was deaf. I told them the same thing… Any dog can be trained…

God bless you. Animals are smart. I don’t believe the defendants have the emotional fullness to care for a dog.

[@yukimasahiko]

@@CarolineWolterHall I agree. Some just don’t deserve the love of beautiful animals.

[@CarolineWolterHall]

@@yukimasahiko You sound sweet and I’m sure you love animals. ❤️

Yes! If you have a dog then YOU should be the one to JAYWALK across the street to get away from a CHILD! Don’t let the child walk across the street unattended!

[@bestillandknow46101]

Right! I always cross the street when I see children and I walk my 🐕 dog

[@stwida91]

Yeah, by no means am I an animal expert, but without even hearing the whole story and being a dog owner myself, I knew where this was going. There are plenty of people out there who can walk their dogs RIGHT next to a passerby with no issue whatsoever, and they know exactly who they are. I, personally, have been in a position where I had a dog who wasn't well-behaved in certain circumstances, such as around children, and you can bet that any time a child was coming my way, I made sure the dog and the child would not be able to interact. This woman going out of her way to try to prevent the dog and the child from interacting is a dead giveaway that she knew this sort of thing had the possibility of occurring. Not careful enough, whatever happened.

[@margieburke329]

Yes she new there was a danger that the child may have been hurt and she didn't even take the time to get the dog away from him.

[@enjoystraveling]

And she was too lazy to train her dog then she needed to put a muzzle on the dog because she knew it would react that way or she wouldn’t have told the child to walk a certain direction.
