How low can this thug go?

A COWARDLY thug set his dog on a blind woman's guide dog, leaving the faithful companion's future uncertain.

Guide dog Keegan was taken to a veterinary hospital after the attack at Mooroolbark train station east of Melbourne. Keegan may have to be retired as a guide dog because of the attack's psychological effects. Owner Kristy Hyland, 20, who is about to start university, said a witness saw a youth set his dog on Keegan about 11pm on Thursday.
The witness told her the attack dog was muscular and was believed to be a bull terrier.

"There were two teenagers and one gave the command to 'get woofer'," she said.

"His dog came between Keegan and me and started attacking Keegan's back end.

"Keegan had puncture marks and there was a lot of pain and swelling.

"Dog fights are not sport and that's what they were trying to make it."

Miss Hyland, who has congenital blindness, said she had bonded with three-year-old Keegan over the past year and had expected to be with him for at least eight years.

Ian Finlayson of Guide Dogs Victoria said Keegan's fate was not decided, but "a guide dog must not be scared of other dogs and we have to see if he has been traumatised".

He said it cost $25,000 to breed and train a guide dog. It could take months to match another with Miss Hyland.

The Mooroolbark police are investigating.

Scum.

yep, absolute scum....... should set a pack of dogs onto him, see how he likes it

Who's up for a little lynch mob justice......

That is just awful. The worst thing it dog attacks has repercussions onto responsible dog owners, and I must remind everyone here that its not the dog, it comes down to how it is raised/trained. There are plenty of other bull terriers/rotties/etc. in this world that don't attack. I say bring in IQ tests for dog ownership!
I guess I should be saying something about the owner of the dog, all that I can say is I hope he gets what is coming to him!

yup agree Melz, maybe mandatory dog registration everywhere (if it isnt already) but with a check on owners as well

Yep agree. It may have been a good idea not to quote the breed as I have in the heading.

In the end it is the owner. People like this idiot shouldn't be walking the streets let alone be responsible for another life form.

Imagine if this scum bag has children !

[XRchic]

Why on Earth would anyone do such a thing? How pathetic and cowardly. Those guys should be ashamed of themselves. And the dog will probably suffer and be put down because of it attacking the guide dog, but as Melz said, it is the owners fault.

Sometimes I wonder at how broad the definition of "human" has to be, to include people like them.

[GXL078]

It is unfortunate that disabled people have to share the same goverment housing as oxygen theiving scum.

There was an article in the news a few months ago stating that a high proportion of dangerous dogs are owned by people with criminal records. In that case there must be a lot of ex-crims in my area and all their dogs want to eat mine.

Makes me Sick, hope they catch the scum...........

[davocol]

Sickening!, how could you do something like that.

[BPXR6T]

22 to the back of the head. The owner, not the dog...

[HLC]

kill them.

[pertuan]

A fine example of human values here. Not only do they think its fun to set a dog on another dog, they think its fun to do it to a guide dog that probably has more responsibilities and contributes more to society than the idiot owners ever will in their lifetime.

Shame, shame, shame! Make the owners of the attacking dog serve time helping the blind community. Maybe then they will appreciate what blind people have to put up with and realise the crime they committed is shameful.

[Cameronhayward]

Kill the mofo's

[M14A-Mclaren]

Honest to god, if it was up to me these kinds of crimes would be solved by an investment in a gun and bullets, cheap justice. They don't contribute to society and only waste tax money in jail.

If the scumbag gets a slap on the wrist like many crims seem to get lately, I hope the Guide Dog Association makes a civil claim for the cost of training up a new guide dog and slug him $25k

[XR6-VCT-2000]

That makes me sick to hear that , making dogs fight is bad enough , but setting a dog upon a blind persons dog ! , unforgivable ! - the people responsible should be shot.

I'll also add , the dogs are not to blame ! its these stupid owners who teach the dogs otherwise !.

[LUXO_8]

just had a nice thought...the guy responsible should have his eyes poked out with a fork

[Dezza]

This is just awful. I just really don't understand how anyone could think it's ok to do stuff like this.

I agree with that statement... plus he shouldn't get a guide dog after it, so he can see how the woman feels now that she is having to live without hers

[XRated]

Pop their eyeballs out and let a couple of wild pigs have their way with the scum.

I can't imagine how frightened the poor girl must feel. As if life isn't hard enough being blind, let alone needing to worry about heartless human-beings making life even harder.

[TUF_302]

Farkin hell thats gotta be the lowest act of ive ever heard of!

[Bucket]

Those Labs wouldnt hurt a fly...those Kids should have the chance to find out first hand what its like to have a Dog attack you...tie them up...who has Rotty's Here?

[Sourbastard]

why set dogs on the bloke? Seems to me humans are far more dangerous animals then any dog i know.

[GREGXR8]

quote melz.. That is just awful. The worst thing it dog attacks has repercussions onto responsible dog owners, and I must remind everyone here that its not the dog, it comes down to how it is raised/trained. i agree totally i have a 10 year old pure pit bull that loves other animals. the only time he shows agression is if a cat or dog tries to attack his cat.

[Tiga_EL]

Thats low. the kid deserves a good thrashing.. hell if i ever saw him id give him one, just like those ******* who start bushfires coz they just feel like doing so...

Am just posting to agree with what has been posted already, and to repeat the questions asked who would do such a thing, why would you even do it?
some times I feel ashamed to be a human

Don't be ashamed, they are only semi-human.

[XR6_661]

That fu*ked, Plain and simple.

Makes me wonder what goes on in peoples minds that would compel them to do something like that, horrific.
