Rescued British Bulldog Attacks New Owner | Full Episode | Bondi Vet

[@kirstydthomas]

Peggy is amazing. She didn’t give up on him, she did what was best for him. I applaud her for taking him in the first place and for letting him go. I do hope they kept her up to date with his progress.

[@jackieheidorn5875]

The friend never should have guilted Peggy into adopting this troublesome dog. He had health issues and training issues.

[@1978garfield]

In saner times a dog that bites and has serious health issues would have been put down at the pound. Now we have "rescues" that are convinced some perfect adopter will come along and buy someone else's project dog and fix it.

[@kamralb]

While it's possible the friend didn't know all about his issues, I agree. I also caught that peggy's friend described him as an "older" dog. Obviously they wasn't the case. I feel bad for the upheaval he's dealt with as a result. Peggy was awesome for trying, but even more so for recognizing the need for them to go separate ways. I don't know if I'd be that level headed.

[@irontribeissues9104]

I agree that this “no animal shall ever be wasted” attitude is resulting in people being financially ruined, animals enduring upheavals and a complete abandonment of an understanding of natural order.

[@strawberrysouffle50]

@@1978garfield why should you put down an animal just because if health issues that can be fixed. It is cruel and inhuman. Scott said the biting was a one off thing. Putting him down was never and should never be an option unless he is in serious pain which can’t be fixed.

[@trilikvlt]

@@irontribeissues9104 Financially ruined ? Why knowingly adopt a living being with a list of health issues if you know you don't have the ability to do so financially ? "Complete abandonment of an understanding of the natural order" are you saying that we shouldn't help suffering animals in need of healthcare and love ? Why don't we do the same with humans then ? I really don't understand, we're animals too so, then, by the same logic this should apply to us... Animals deserve love as much as other family members I'm always for love care, empathy and second chances, why end the life of a beautiful living being who didn't ask for anything, if they still have some quality of life left ? I obviously understand euthanasia in the case of tremendous incurable suffering, but why end someone's life prematurely when they can still find a loving family in their life ?

Sally, why was she choking on the water and food? My rescue bulldog has recently started this, but he tends to drink water very quickly and "sloppy" so he takes in a lot of air.

[@sallyidol6281]

@@Whitey3755 she had a elongated Pilate. Which grew worse with age. She was very old and could not be anesthetized, she snored like a freight train when she slept and snorted like a pig when she ate, she had many health problems that come with this breed of dog. Along with arthritis of the hips. I would definitely advise you to take the dog to the vet. But she lived a long life for a English bulldog the life span is usually 8 to 10 years. She was 14 years old when she passed. May I ask how old is your bulldog? And there are feeders that can make them eat slower so they don't choke on food your pet store should have them in supply. But the water I don't know.

[@Whitey3755]

@@sallyidol6281 I do not know how old he is. He was in such poor condition when we got him, the vet could only guess 4-9. My old man made it to 12 and he was a wreck when we got him. He snores a bit, rarely has snot, but has bad ear tubes. So I think that may play into it. I would not doubt if he has an elongated palate as he's a genetic train wreck in most other areas, mostly blind, half deaf, bad feet, weird teeth, etc. But he just wants to hang out and be your buddy and I'm more than happy to let him.

[@dianepeter3625]

Peggy's friend did her a huge disservice, Bulldogs are a walking vet bill since they're the most unhealthy breed around, they have like 20 or more common genetic issues because of bad breeding practices. Also they tend not to live too long.

[@HobbyOrganist]

stop lumping everyone who breeds dogs into your stereotype because you are WRONG! I know a breeder who breeds Cane Corso dogs and she recently spent over $10,000 on her visa card trying to save her litter of puppies who suddenly took ill from some wierd virus the vets couldn't identify, the puppies died despite her around the clock care and the vets. Not every breeder is a "puppy mill" and not every breeder cares about profits, this bulldog came from some backyard accident or puppy mill breeding father to daughter, sister to brother for max profits, good breeders like the Cane Corso lady spend thousands on tests and health clearances and finding the right stud and paying the stud fee and travel.

[@dianepeter3625]

@@HobbyOrganist A Bulldog like the 1 in the video and a Cane Corso are TOTALLY DIFFERENT BREEDS, I didn't say a single thing about any breed besides English Bulldogs, there are good and bad breeders of every breed but Bulldog breeders are pretty much burying their heads in the sand over how bad the breed is health-wise, if you get a good Bulldog with no health issues it's pretty much a miracle. I think in England they're trying to get breeders to start crossbreeding them so that they're closer to American Bulldogs and similar related breeds in body type, more like the original dog. Or at least that's what I read in an article on them many years ago.

[@HobbyOrganist]

@@dianepeter3625 You might not have said anything about other breeds but a lot of people use videos like this to slam *ALL* breeders regardless of anything, regardless of even the slightest bit of research into a breeder's web site, requirements, buyer screening and contracts- they are slammed as "puppy mills" because they have ONE litter of carefully bred show puppies in five years! and lumped in with the mass breeding places that sell puppies to pet shops, auctions etc

[@dianepeter3625]

@@HobbyOrganist Well quite frankly over the last century or 2 we've gotten very bad at breeding dogs, other animals too. Someone said that showing would be the ruin of all good breeds or something like that and they were right, if you look at historical photos the breeds can look very different and not in a good way. I could almost cry when I see a Pekinese because I want the original dog like the ones that came from the Forbidden City. I don't like GSDs either, a lot of dogs can't do their original jobs anymore because of fad breeding and there's entirely too much of it, quite often I want the 1800 or 1900 versions of a breed because of the fad breeding. In the case of English Bulldogs it doesn't matter if they're good or bad breeders breeding them at all in this form is bad because they're in constant pain from what I've read, dogs don't show pain if they can help it. They have short lives, need special food and have to be watched while eating so they don't choke. If it can't eat and breed on it's own they shouldn't be bred as is they should sort of back breed them or crossbreed to get something more like the original dogs, which is nothing like the current dogs. A lot of people who breed Cavalier King Charles Spaniels could be labelled bad breeders too since the show breeders are currently breeding dogs with skulls that are too small for their brains and I've heard of people still breeding them even after their dogs have been diagnosed with it.

I'm a lot younger than Peggy and I usually have German Shepherds. I lost my lovely boy last year to old age. I would like another dog sometime but a much smaller dog as I have a bad back injury and doubt if I could handle a big dog now. It was a sad situation all round.

[@db1414141]

Perfectly said Susie English. We've got a standard royal poodle which means we've got a poodle bigger then a standard our baby is 75 lbs compared to a regular standard poodle which only gets up to 60 lbs and we did out research on health and temperament. We went to a breeder who bred show dog poodles. We met his mom and grandmother his dad is a champion in Florida so we didn't meet him but my hubby and I played with our babies mother and grandma which were both very healthy and sweet playful dogs. Scooby-Doo is our baby with show dog blood line and he is 6 yrs old and healthy and such a kind sweet dog everyone loves him. He's never bit anyone and would never he's too sweet so what u said is really important to do your research on dogs. I wish I could show u a picture of our dog he's so beautiful oh and I forgot to say our babies sister won the dog show in westminister last year she is a black poodle like Scooby-Doo her name is siba. She looks just like her brother which is our baby.

[@ultimatewitcherfan6677]

@Susie English you make a great point. Especially with the renting thing. Some apartment complexes, condominiums, townhouses, etc don’t allow pets and if you want to have a pet, make sure to check with the landlord and ask if they allow pets. Also, if you choose to get your pet from a breeder, make sure the breeder has a good reputation. Never buy from a breeder with a questionable reputation.

Is it morally right to continue producing a breed of dog that is as deformed as bulldogs are? They have great difficulty breathing, develop nasty lesions in the folds of their skin, cannot give birth naturally, and as is so evident in this video, can hardly walk for the inbred damage to their joints. Nature certainly didn't intend for a dog to be like this - it's our vanity that creates so many problems for the creatures we claim to love.

His aggression wasn’t linked to pain. It was because he resource guards the car. They said he’s perfectly sweet when he’s not in the car.

Sad. I used to have the most beautiful timber wolf hybrid. She meant the world to me and my family. She was a part from the start, she was actually a wedding present to me from my soon-to-be wife. It also inspired her name ‘Love’. At 5months old Love is in our wedding photos. Then a year later we had our first son. Love was the most amazing & patient ‘baby-sitter’. By the time our second son came along, Love was ‘old hand’ at dealing with rambunctious boys. Which is why when Love was 12 yrs old, it was so difficult to decide she needed put down. Her hips had gotten so bad that she couldn’t get up unassisted. And it was obviously extremely painful. Her eyesight had failed pretty severely. So with the recommendations of the vet that had always known and treated her, the decision was reached. It was absolutely horrible, but I couldn’t let my sweet girl be in pain.

My daughter's cat has hyperthyroidism, hypertension, liver cancer and is 17 1/2 years old. She lost 1/3 of her body weight before we got things under control. She is on medication for the thyroid and blood pressure and had surgery for the cancer - they got most of it, but not all. They said it is malignant but low grade so it will grow slowly and given her age, chemo is really not an option as the chemicals are more likely to kill her than the cancer. She is done ok now. Gained back her weight, eats just fine. Still plays (but not quite as long), still likes to climb and jump (again, not quite like 10 years ago). :o) My daughter has had her since she was 8 weeks old, so we cherish her quite a lot. Needless to say, we see the vet fairly frequently. Which the cat does not appreciate. We have to sedate her when we take her to the vet or else she will scratch and bite and fight like a demon. When we take her, they have a 1/2 hr window to get blood, take her blood pressure and take her temperature before they can't handle her any more. You would never guess she was that old. I wish they could let my daughter help like they used to, but with covid restrictions, she is not allowed.

The vet said she had the beginning signs of arthritis. She recommended a joint supplement, which has helped a lot. Poor thing got the bad end of her genes when it comes to her build. She has short legs, front point outward, with a long stout body likely from the potential very small amount of bulldog somewhere in her family tree. She's 70lbs and looks like a cross between a Corgi and Border Collie with the quantity of fur of a Husky that grew in around 3 years old. None of which she is. I give her Vet IQ Hip & Joint treats. She eats them with no problems and I will give her an extra one on bad days. She's 10 now. She's slow, but gets around just fine and doesn't seem to be in pain. She's almost always happy.

It was one bite and it was when the dog was extremely stressed and in pain. Accidents do happen even the mildest mannered dogs can lash out

[@tiffanyholman4028]

Yes, but she's a 70 something year old woman. Her friend should never have done this to her. And he was aggressive more than that one bite. I'm not laying blame on the dog or her, but it just wasn't feasible anymore.

[@ES-nq8uu]

That dog is a hot mess. His breathing is horrible, his body is under so much pressure and weight. His breeding has ruined his whole life. I can't stand that people are actually still breeding these mutations that obviously impact the animals life negatively. Its disgustingly selfish. Lets not mention that he is horrendously under trained. Not even acceptable for public.

[@howardtheduck7668]

Agree that beeeders (& shows) have made a terrible mishmash of the bulldogs. (Can you imagine many of them having the stamina to fight bulls now?!) But, I don’t find him particularly undertrained, just in pain, and people continue to maul and molly coddle him... sticking faces near a dog with a bite history, scrunching one known to be painfully grumpy, not to mention wrestling with him on the floor and scooping those same sore front legs... poor dog needs some peace, weight reduction, and understanding of his physical deformities, along with continued low impact exercise like swimming (if possible), and ongoing clear expectations of appropriate behaviour.

[@HobbyOrganist]

stop lumping everyone who breeds dogs into your stereotype because you are WRONG! I know a breeder who breeds Cane Corso dogs and she recently spent over $10,000 on her visa card trying to save her litter of puppies who suddenly took ill from some wierd virus the vets couldn't identify, the puppies died despite her around the clock care and the vets. Not every breeder is a "puppy mill" and not every breeder cares about profits, this bulldog came from some backyard accident or puppy mill breeding father to daughter, sister to brother for max profits, good breeders like the Cane Corso lady spend thousands on tests and health clearances and finding the right stud and paying the stud fee and travel.

[@ES-nq8uu]

@@HobbyOrganist sorry, but she is the minority. The reason some breeds are so permanently messed up is because of the breeder and the breeder alone. I will not stop blaming the breeder for the ultimate demise of many beautiful breeds of animals simply because they are the only ones to blame. There is simply no one else to blame but those who breed the animal with the favored mutation. Pugs can't breathe because the short snout and short legs were favored over ease of breath and movement. The Frenchie has to be ARTAFICIALLY fertilized because the male is too barrel chested and too short to properly finish the job. Yeah, the breeder has bred natural copulation right out of the Frenchie breed. They can't be left alone around bodies of water either, because they sink like stones. Again, no one else to blame but the breeder alone.

[@laceandbits]

What I couldn't understand was why Peggy hadn't worked out that all that was needed to get Archie out of the car was to have him on a lead with the handle somewhere you could reach without putting your hands near his face. Or why Scott had never suggested it, because that's what he did when he took the dog to his foster home.

[@leodylina841]

Scott you are a awesome vet

[@la1498]

I once got bitten by a bull in pain and it was the last thing she ever did... I worked at a dog kennel for people to go on holiday specifically for french and english bull dogs because a lot of kennels won't take them because most require special care. One dog was very ill and in pain and we had to take it to the vet during it's stay and I had to put her in a crate for the carride but she just wouldn't get up anymore not with the leash or anything so I wanted to help her and lift her up so that she could walk in the crate but then she bit me pretty bad. First put her in the crate because she was standing now and put her in the car. Then I went to the doctor while the owners of the kennel took her to the vet. And even though the ride is very short she past away in the car not even able to make it to the vet. When my boss called the owner with the bad news he didn't mention that her last act was biting me.

I know this is off topic but Peggy's amber necklace is AMAZING! I wish I knew where to get one for myself!! Poor Archie, he's had such a rough time in his short life, I hope that they will be able to find the right human for him... what a terrible accident. It's so sad when what is obviously an accident ends up hurting the dog in the end.

[@theippster8891]

The breed standard for English Bull Dogs set by the parent clubs are inhumane and responsible for the litany of health problems they suffer. This is not cute it is cruel. They do not deserve to suffer unnecessarily bc people think they look ‘cute’, if you love this breed please help to change that by writing the clubs and asking for humane changes to the standard. They know very well what this means.
