It makes me really angry why dog owners can't use the amazing invention called the dog lead!!! No matter how well trained a dog is when the instinct kicks in it will attack a prey species but if its on a lead it can't get at things the same but off course dog owners are lazy & if the dog is on a lead you have to walk it further then if its off a lead running around.

I couldn't believe when I found out how much the government protects violent dog owners. If you set your dog on someone else's dog or livestock deliberately you only get a £2000 fine for it. I've been attacked several times and the gov does nothing so I just dont go to parks or beaches anymore and stick to roads. 50% of children get attacked by a dog at some point. 5m attacks per year in the USA. And yet it's not a big issue for politicians.

It was tough to watch. But you do know that had they not done that - the swan most likely would not have survived. It needed fluids, antibiotics and help with the wound which included surgery. Then quiet healing time, with vet attention. Without all that? I expect it would have quietly died.

@Hector Doggenzilla Ridiculous question since that topic has nothing to do with this channel or the video. Thanks for playing.

[@Undomaranel]

Part of training is trusting them at some point, and expecting them to fail. Even the best trained dogs will have moments of forgetfulness. I also not saying this as an excuse, but to explain that it's the same mentality as riding a mororcycle: it's not if you get in a wreck it's when you get in a wreck.

[@fructosecornsyrup5759]

Dogs have a prey drive. This is also why it is recommended that you do not leave smaller animals alone with dogs ever, even well trained ones. They _are_ still predators.

[@helentee9863]

Keep them on a leash around wild animals,sheep and cattle Nearly every year cattle attack (and sometimes kill) both dogs and owners, generally cows that are protecting their calves from loose,out of control dogs Out of control,unleashed dogs are a danger to other animals, their owner's,other people and themselves

There’s a public pond by my house that geese love to swim in.(sadly no swans) It always makes me upset when I see people walking their dogs without a leash. The dogs try to chase the geese and it scares them. Luckily, I haven’t seen a dog get a goose, but it’s still stressful for the geese to have a dog chasing them into the water. I wish people could be responsible with their dogs.

I think it's wonderful the care you give to these swans and to this one in particular. The swan seems to know you're helping and puts up with the human contact. Thanks for sharing this rescue; I hope the swan can avoid another attack.
