Bachelor star nearly killed by his rescue “boxer” (it’s clearly a pit bull mix)

Bro took his rescued dog he'd only had for 3 months on errands. Leave your dog at home. This is what crates are for. A dog that new to the pack doesn't need that level of external stimulation until it has been tested/proven in a home environment. This dog wasn't being properly trained/handled. Dog also slept on the children's beds at night. That is way too new a dog to have that kind of "privilege". Owner error.

The dog had a history of biting his shoes, which he wrote off as being "a thing herding breeds do". Only this time, the dog bit hard enough to puncture his shoes and hurt his feet (not injure, though). That's owner error. The dog should've been trained to keep its mouth to itself.

Bro then took an agitated dog, stared it down and yelled at it multiple times. That's extremely aggressive behavior... from the human. Again, owner error.

He doesn't describe the process(es) he used to get the dog outside, but none of it seemed to involve a leash. Pushed it? Kicked it? neither is going to de-escalate the situation. Again, owner error. The still-agitated dog then allegedly attacks again. This is basically a provoked attack. Note that all the injuries sustained are shallow, and to the dude's forearms, near the hands. No leg, no thigh, nothing easier for the dog to grab (until dude put his hands into it...)

Where was the dog overnight? Left outside? Kids were home overnight, or at least that's what's implied by him saying the grands were coming to pick them up from the house "the next day". A crate would've been useful...

The next day, when the uncontained dog slipped past his wife (who he'd left alone with the dog?) bro ended up laying on his collared dog to restrain it, instead of, you know, using a leash? Nobody thought to get a muzzle from petsmart when they made the decision to let the dog with a bite history stay in their pack, even overnight? He's "hoping it's the sweet Moose he knows" but not acting as if it's a dog, and a dog who he knows can/will bite?

There's SO much owner error in this story. I hope that the people who hear it will think about how to avoid the avoidable problems this poor dog and its family encountered due to the owner's negligent failure to properly train and contain their animal.

Oy vey I take my mini doodle everywhere since birth. It’s never mauled anyone and never will. Only these violent killing machine breeds do you have to write a dissertation on how to property raise them and walk on egg shells. They need to be illegal - pit bulls, rotts, boxers and all the other adjacent breeds and mixes.

Those dogs aren’t even adjacent to each other

It's typical "all dogs that aren't MY dog" logic.

Anyone with knowledge of dogs know that it's the minis/toys/teacups that are most likely to bite you, because they're the least likely to be properly trained.

That’s a boxer, OP.

Oh my, play stupid games - win stupid prizes

Before their kids were born, hopefully? but probably not. 3 kids under 10 and they got a puppy? Can't help stupid and all, but... damn.

Universal canine ownership license requiring a knowledge and handling exam. Plus proof of insurance.

No, about 3 years ago, their youngest was 2 yo at the time (I'm lazy to search for it again - there is a link to the story in the article from OP)

Absolute idiots who got a bull mastiff puppy when their youngest child was just 2. The dog went on to bite one son hard enough that he needed stitches in his head. The dog eventually attacked his daughter so they got rid of it. These people should never get another large breed dog, and if they get another dog, they need in home training from day 1.

Who in their right mind gets a puppy, of any type, when they also have a 2-year old?!

People like this should be put on a list.

Boxers shouldn’t be lumped in like that. The AKC rated boxers 5/5 for good with young children. They are usually very calm empowerment. This dog was not typical of breed.

That dog is a boxer, and boxers also have very strong jaws. I wouldn't have one around my children.

You cannot say never. My little dog has never hurt anyone but i suspect if he thought I was in trouble or someone was going to hurt me, who knows.

They appeared on The Bachelor, so I wouldn’t assume they’re topping the intellect or common sense charts.

I love how he shares that two different times he believed that the dog might kill him and that he was fighting for his life, he says he’s just grateful it was him and not his young children or his wife because the dog would have killed them, but he still says the dog is a very good dog.

I have to kick 2 small dogs hard in past 2 months to keep them off me.

1) Yes, it does most definitely look like a boxer. Know your breeds.
2) Crate. Train. Your. Dog. No excuses. 90% of the chaos in this story goes away if a smarter dog-owner crates the dog.
3) Waving your arms and flapping a towel around and jumping like an idiot while a loud noise causes chaos is going to get a dog's attention.
4) If this truly were a Deadly Pit Bull (mix) wouldn't everyone be dead? Wouldn't he have had his face eaten by the "couch hippo"? Wouldn't there be no survivors left to tell the tale? I mean, choose your narrative here...

But the takeaway shouldn't be "don't adopt a boxer (mix)." It should be "Crating your dog dramatically reduces chance of injury, and gives your dog a safe place to be in the event of unexpected chaos."

If you have to keep your dog locked up to not be eaten perhaps it’s time to reevaluate your pet.

If you have to use crazy rhetoric to make your point, maybe you don't have one. Crate training is good for all dogs, of all breeds, and provides a safe place for a dog to be in the event of an emergency.

And this isn't "eaten". At all. He got bit. That's not "mauling" or "being eaten". At all. That's a dog bite. Unfortunate, but not even remotely "eaten".

One unprovoked bite would deem that dog to be unable to be taken to be rehomed. And many places would consider euthanizing this dog.

I can’t believe you’re downplaying how serious this is. People like you who excuse this behavior should not be in society either other human beings.
