Hi Everyone!
-
I made this video because I feel
-
that the brutal meaningless death of my dog
-
could have been avoided
-
if the irresponsible owner paid a little bit more attention
-
to the people and dogs who live in her neighborhood.
-
I feel that tragedies like ours need to be told
-
to serve as a warning to other dog owners.
-
Therefore I'd like to encourage my brothers and sisters
-
who suffered such tragedy to write their stories
-
and make them public on different platforms.
-
I would like to inform you,
-
that I have created an open group on Facebook
-
for responsible dog owners, who want to ensure
-
that such tragedies won't happen in the future.
-
Situations, where dogs attack other dogs or people can be totally avoided.
-
I am looking forward to hearing from those fellow victims,
-
who had suffered similar tragedies like we did.
-
Lets's share our stories with each other,
-
let's give each other psychological support and some legal help as well.
-
I believe that with the power of collaboration,
-
rules regarding conscientious and responsible dog ownership in Hungary will eventually change.
-
Such rules are already in place in many other countries within the European Union and western countries.
-
For example, with such rules already in place in Germany dog attack incidents are significantly reduced.
-
There are many more censorious sanctions after this situation and for the prevention,
-
to keeping a particular dog breed, has to be authorized.
-
It means, if german citizens want to keep a certain breed of dog,
-
Now I do not want to mention that these breed of dog what kind of group of dog belong to,
-
so this citizen must take them to the dog school obligatory, and take a serious exam with their dog.
-
Besides this, the dog expert examines the puppies' behavior, to take them under an aggression test.
-
They would have been chosen, which kind of individual could be ownership.
-
This kind of dog must have got pedigree as well,
-
with this could be baned to the multiplicators not to sell nervous week individuals.
-
Besides this, in this group, we would like to write a petition and I would like the responsible owners in huge numbers to sign it
-
which including the authorized certain breed of dogs in Hungary as well.
-
The best way would be, that every dog owner consciously and responsibly keeping the dog,
-
By that, I mean that every dog owner goes to dog school with their dogs.
-
This video would show you the spot of the tragedy and the way to this place.
-
I would like to tell our story, as I saw that day, as I felt that day, so not after that day I’ve already known about the irresponsible owner.
-
Now I just tell you that day as I live through.
-
The later events would be not shooting in the spot of the tragedy, but another calmer place.
-
I would like to mention here, which is very important,
-
In this video does not show you faces, registration numbers, nor the name of streets, number of the house,
-
We do not use names, do not indicate and do not show you directly the house,
-
wherefrom the murder dog runs out.
-
Neither of anything which can compromise the opposit sides with me,
-
nor shooting in this video either record in audio which could be legally offensive.
-
We are shooting in public property, every visual and auditive material can be legal
-
Let's go on our way!
-
We left this house with my dog in 2019 of Apryl 24th in the morning,
-
on Wednesday about at 7:30 am as we do every morning.
-
As you will see, and you can see it right now as well,
-
Now it is 2019 of July 19th on Friday at 16:15 pm.
-
We are in a calm place in Újpest
-
and we are going to forward a football ground.
-
Where we started every morning our day.
-
As we started our day at about 7:45, in the school period the children were at the school,
-
Or the adults were going to their working place.
-
SO People were so many like now on that day as well.
-
While we will arrive at the spot, it takes about 2 minutes walk
-
until I would like to tell you about my dog, Toby, who was a half and five years old, mixe, male dog.
-
I saved from a shelter from Cegléd.
-
As much to know about me, that Toby was my first dog, I have had a desire for a dog since I was a child.
-
This dream could be real in 2013.
-
I could afford myself to keep a dog, I had time for him, energy, and money to keep a dog.
-
From the beginning even though Toby was not with me,
-
when I had have decided that I would be a very conscious dog owner, go to dog school.
-
We went to not just dog school bit dog nursery as well.
-
Now, we are going to turn to the street of the tragedy.
-
The football ground will appear immediately in front of us.
-
Now I will feedback to Toby, so I would have wanted keeping dog, very conscious,
-
therefore We went to school here in Újpest to the Népszigeti dog school.
-
We had have started the socialization in the dog nursery.
-
After that we did the basic obey exam, and after we went to behavior therapy.
-
Toby had got bad imprinting, therefore, the early lives in the street, the shelter living.
-
He had got a fear of aggression.
-
This manifested in If he meets a stranger dogs with a leash, he did not treat well.
-
He did not like this kind of meeting
-
Therefore we met unknown dogs unleashed.
-
In this way, he could behave very good and not stressed.
-
He followed me by my side,
-
I could block him from the cat as well during he was running,
-
SO I could recall him from a very strong instinct was very pride of this.
-
That we reached this with long and hard work and the trainers of the dog school helped us in it.
-
The trainers of the népszigeti dog school.
-
And after the behavior therapy, we did the intermediate obey course as well.
-
After that, we learned about some dog sports.
-
We did the mantrailing course.
-
It means searching man, so This is a very good dog sport, hobby dog sport. We made this course as well.
-
What was Toby's favorite game, is the playing ball.
-
Every morning we started playing ball because it was a very good method to make him tire physically.
-
I would like to tell you, that If we play ball, he even with his best friends did not like it.
-
So if we played ball, we always did alone, just together, we did not play any other dogs then.
-
We are going to reach the football ground slowly, as you see it was about 2 minutes from our house.
-
It is not a long way from our house.
-
And as you see, nobody here in the street.
-
This is Újpest frequented area, so from here beginning the area of the family house zone.
-
What I would like to tell you, is that I did not just physically exhausting of my dog, but mentally exhausting as well daily.
-
Mentally exhausting was about half an hour per day with learning tricks.
-
We walked for two and a half hours, three times per day.
-
Morning walking was 45 minutes after that was the afternoon walking if it was summer and hot,
-
then was a half-hour, it was rather just a sanitary walking.
-
And the evening walking was the longest walking.
-
It took more than one hour. Mostly in chill wheater.
-
And then I would like to show you Toby’s trick video here when we learned tricks and I made him tired with this.
-
Sit!
-
Lay down!
-
-
Toby,Come on!
-
Slalom!
-
Slalom!
-

-
Slalom!
-
Good boy!
-

-

-

-
Back! Good boy!
-
-

-
Hopp!
-
Come on! Hopp!
-
Hopp! That's it! Good boy!
-
-
Good boy!
-
High five!
-
Other high five!
-
During this video, we have arrived at that spot, where we play ball every morning,
-
here is the football-ground as you see.
-
Now it is summer and nobody is here.
-
And that morning, and every morning for 3 years ago there is nobody here as you see,
-
this is a closed football-ground.
-
On the playground, there was nobody.
-
Here is the football-ground. Here we were coming then as well, every morning we start here, three years ago
-
Usually, I threw the ball with a piece of special equipment for throwing the ball, or we had an ordinary ball, which I kicked to him.
-
And I would like to show you that video, which shot last summer when we played football here.
-
And then, we could go further, after playing football, we were going to go here,
-
always remain about 30 minutes to go home.
-
As you see, New buildings are having built here and here car parking places,
-
which was not here then. There was all grass.
-
That's why I can’t show you the exact spot of the tragedy, where was happened
-
but about we were here, as you see The playground is in front of us.
-
So we were going here, then Toby was in front of me, and I heard that a woman says that: Come back, stay!
-
Then I looked back, but it was just a moment when I realized,
-
that a height of a pony, brown color, bull-type dog was sliding, sneaking into my dog without any voice, overrun, with monstrous power to my little dog.
-
I would like to show you a picture of the breed of this kind of dog.
-
Of course not about the concerned dog, who did this attack, but you have to imagine this kind of dog.
-
My dog was not to give a kind of provocation towards the striker dog.
-
He did not do any barking, or snarling or jarring what another
has taken provocation.
-
Here was happen literally a hunted with this about 70 kg dog.
-
My dog had not got any kind of chance to escape and either me as well.
-
As this happened with ambushed, sneaked up,
-
I could not reach the pepper spray from inside my bag.
-
I had just a wink of an eye to stood between the two dogs and yelled at the attacker dog,
-
which of course nothing worth, the dog did not react at it.
-
It came to us like a tank, he knocked over my dog during half-second
-
who was laying on his back and who gave terrific sound from himself.
-
The sneaking up happened with dreadful force,
-
there was not smelling or to get knowing each other.
-
I reacted to it from reflexed, I jumped to the dog,
-
stepped over his back and grabbed the attacker dog collar,
-
which was a very thin something, so it immediately remained in my hand.
-
Then the young woman, who yelled at the dog was also outside,
-
then came an older woman, who was standing freezer, did nothing, not yelled, not do anything, just stood freezingly.
-
The younger woman tried to grab the dog’s tail and tried to do something,
-
but did not react to the dog anything.
-
I kicked him everywhere because of the collar which I grabbed, it was a very thin, cotton collar.
-
Later it cleared up that it was a flea collar, so this immediately remained in my hands,
-
with that dreadful force what this kind of moving 70 kg dog could give during the attack,
-
you can imagine what could I do with my 48 kg.
-
I was yelling during the whole fighting in contrast to the attacker dog owners,
-
who, did not give any obedience words or permitted words to their dog.
-
And the end of the attack, when an adult man run out as well,
-
I yelled at them, that do something because their dog was going to kill my dog.
-
Then the man grabbed the dog’s tail and stepped over his head,
-
then I run to the dog and tore out my dog from his muzzle.
-
It was literally torn out because the dog’s muzzle did not open,
-
so I felt that Toby’s muscle of his chest was torn out.
-
As I looked at my dog, I
immediately saw that the trouble is big.
-
He was shocked. His chest was bleeding and his body was twisted.
-
In my powerless rage and anger, I yelled at them, that „get out of here”
-
whereupon the younger woman said in fury, that I do not speak the way like that, She can’t help that the dog is running away.
-
Then three of them were grabbing the dog’s tail, including the old woman as well,
-
it took a while, by the time she did anything.
-
Much of You asked me that why did I not lift up Toby
-
or Why did I not lift up the attacker dog’ legs or twisted his tonsils, cause this was a male dog.
-
At the begining of the attack, I could not see this, but after that, I realized that It was a sexual male dog.
-
I may say that I do not think that I must touch another owner’s dog,
-
mostly with my 48 kg to an about 70 kg American bulldog
-
and to risk that this dog could tear down my arms or my face.
-
And there is no sure that after that my dog would have been alive
-
or this kind of injury could have been any legal procedure ls later.
-
Unfortunately I have to tell you, that In this situation rather the responsible dog owner is blamed,
-
because why did he pass through into the fight with his hand.
-
I can tell you this kind of case.
-
I know this kind of situation when the innocent owner tried to protect his dog,
-
and the attacker dog bit his finger down.
-
There was not legally consequent.
-
So I can feel that there is no legal certainty for the responsible owners.
-
And if I passe through into the fight with my hands and the dog would have to bite my hands,
-
then I am as a musician I would have been unemployment
-
and do not think so that Toby would have been alive despite My reaction.
-
When this attack was ended, and Toby was in my arms, in shocked condition,
-
then the old lady said that they will pay my medical charge.
-
I wanted to run as I fled in panic in my car, as soon as possible take my dog to a doctor.
-
Then from a shop nearby, two workers came and one of them was offered to give us a lift
-
I asked him to take us home because I did not know him, that he was so kind as to offer us a lift,
-
I did not want him to drop out of his work for so long.
-
That's why I just asked him to drive at my home, from there I drove in shock to the vet with Toby.
-
Our doctor saw immediately that the trouble is very big,
-
Toby needs lifesaving surgery, that's why he redirected us to the veterinary hospital at Göd.
-
There, they had have already waiting for us and immediately started his unshocked procedure.
-
Because they could not operate him until he was in shock.
-
We took him about 10 o clock and the lifesaving surgery started at about 13 o clock.
-
There was a very long surgery. During the operation, the doctors realized
-
that the trouble much bigger then we believed before it,
-
and it looked like at the first sight, as the RTG could show.
-
I left Toby there because I knew that it takes very long unschoking procedure
-
and surgery and after that long time of waking up
-
and then I felt that there is a big trouble and it won’t be good end.
-
Unfortunately, the doctors said nothing good to encourage me.
-
Meanwhile, my dog had been operating I went back to the venue
-
and in the shops where the workers who helped me to went home,
-
I would have been wanted to speak with, that what does he knows about his neighbor,
-
who are the owners of the dog.
-
He was silent, and I saw very clearly that he knows them very well,
-
but he did not willing to say their name.
-
He repeated that they will at home tomorrow, so I will speak with them then.
-
I did not speak with them at all, there, where this tragedy happened,
-
beeing traumatized speaking with them or anybody.
-
I would have found out the name of the owners and their addresses.
-
I knew from the people nearby who live there and I knew that the owner,
-
who is officially the owner of the dog is the old woman.
-
I was shocked by this news because I noted to shock that just right that woman was,
-
who, did not do anything during the attack.
-
She did not do anything, she was freezing, did not say any obedience words to her dog.
-
It was very strange that if I did not know about her from the neighbors the name of the dog owner,
-
it was cleared to me, that they did not want to cover up this dog attack.
-
So they felt, that
-
They were guilty.
-
because this was not a simple fight.
-
you have to know it.
-
I would like to say at this point, that this kind of aggressively attack, is life-threatening.
-
My life was in danger, at least in serious accident risk as I protected my dog,
-
It is not to remain just in the two of us.
-
I feel that here the people of this neighborhood have to know about,
-
what kind of source of danger threatened them.
-
For example the parents with kids who go here, the playground.
-
As I had known the name of the owner and her address,
-
I went to the police station and took my report there.
-
So fortunately from her neighbors, I had known her name and the address
-
was easy to read from the wall of the house.
-
So I took my report, and I found this injurious that we sat there at the police station minimum 2 hours,
-
and after that, they took my report, they said to me, that this is not a police case,
-
so this was a waste of time, that I took my report here.
-
Later I will tell you that what I have already done legally in my case.
-
And after that about 16 pm I had a phone from the hospital that the surgery was really heavy
-
and Toby’s respiration had stopped four times,
-
it cleared out that his muscle of his chest and muscle of his loin was fractured
-
and his floating rib as well which was pierced through the lungs
-
and the diaphragm and the abdominal wall was fractured after that.
-
At the end of the surgery despite this huge operation, his condition was stable.
-
He was sleeping and they said that waiting till morning
-
and take a res this brutal shocked what happened with us,
-
due to I could visit Toby in comparatively in good condition,
-
to be with him a healthy owner.
-
But not too later this calling, they phoned me, about 8 pm,
-
that although Toby had woken up and he cried a lot because of the trauma of the attack and because of the trauma of the surgery as well
-
but later his respiration had stopped and they could save him three times although
-
finally, he gave up the fight.
-
It was a real horror to hear that news, I could not say goodbye to him.
-
I have never forgiven the irresponsible owner, that such a big hurt what she caused to me with this.
-
On this day had already found the owner on messenger by an acquainted,
-
with whom I took the contact and reported her during the whole day,
-
that how is Toby’s surgery and tried to interrogated her that what happened and why did she do anything nevertheless.
-
She claimed that her daughter opened the door for their relatives, who did not notice that the dog,
-
not in the kennels, but it was in the garden and sneaked up from next to her.
-
I wrote to her, that my dog was dead and I cursed.
-
You can imagine what horror is when in the morning with your perfectly healthy dog
-
walking on your routine walk and for the night this dog is dead.
-
Yes, I cursed a lot, but the cursed is not a category of legal.
-
The owner said that she was sorry, but for 50 years she lost a lot of dogs,
-
as I asked her that in the same way as I?
-
She asked that no, but in such a way that falls out the window and hit a car.
-
I would like to ask you a poetical question?
-
What kind of responsible owners, such as this?
-
If her own dog gave such kind of attention, how can I wait for this, that watch out for another dog.
-
Directly after the tragedy, I was in shock.
-
I could not notice that this was happening with us and this was happening now this horrible brutality.
-
I would like to tell you with this video that please everybody understand that there was not a simply fighting,
-
not to get know the dog each other and they did not like each other
-
but here was stone-hard execution the part from the aggressive dog and not equal fight.
-
With this comes to my helpless anger, because an unmeasurable stupidity caused this outrage,
-
The incompetence of the dog and the irresponsible from the dog owner.
-
The formula is cruel.
-
To give us an American bulldog about 70 kg,
-
as I found out later that this kind of breed was it.
-
who, has got destructive aggression.
-
If you see Cesar Millan or Korom Gábor videos, they can tell,
-
that this kind of destructive aggression is when the dog leaves in such a family
-
where there is not packing leader, there is not the dog can trust in,
-
the decisions bring by the dog, his energy does evolve neither physically nor mentally
-
and as he sees a leak on the shield so he sees that the gate is open,
-
he runs out, and who is there in the street, like dogs, child or adult, he let his huge aggression out and kill.
-
I would like to emphasize that if not we were walking here,
-
but let say with my two years old daughter headed to the playground, for example,
-
this is a strong suppose, but the experts claim this as well about this kind of aggressive dog, that, Moreover!
-
I say better to you, it happened just a few weeks ago in Csókakő,
-
where a dog attacked a 2 years old girl.
-
Probably, If the mother was walking with a dog there,
-
then the aggressive dog attack that dog.
-
So this situation has to think of it, so my life was in danger concretely then,
-
so that’s it! This has to be seen for the irresponsible dog owner.
-
I would like to mention one more thing back to the day of the tragedy,
-
that next to the shop there is a house and just right then,
-
an old lady had come to her home with her golden retriever dog,
-
whom I know them, we have knew each other for a long time,
-
our dogs play together for years.
-
The old lady did not dare to look at us,
-
she seemed to very confusing, she avoided our look and she went home embarrassed and closed her door.
-
It was unambiguous that just right she was walking with her dog
-
because we always met each other when we play here and they walked on the other side of the football ground
-
as they did every time and this place they could see very clearly.
-
Later I dropped a letter to their mailbox,
-
in which I told our tragedy, what happened to us and gave her my e-mail address due to replay to me
-
because I needed an objective witness.
-
Later I had known that the worker of the shop, who helped me,
-
I had known from the neighbors, he was the son of the owners,
-
so I could not call him an objective witness.
-
Unfortunately, this nice, old lady with golden retriever has not to contact me since then
-
Besides her, I had another witness whom I met on that day afternoon.
-
Another acquaintance, whom I had known a long time ago,
-
who, is leaving here not so far from the tragedy spot, in this street.
-
As you see, he heard, saw the tragedy from there.
-
He was outside because he asked me, what did we who this attack happen with?
-
And I said that, yes we were that.
-
He said that he was outside in his car and he did not see the tragedy just heard it,
-
emphasized this very much.
-
But if we see this place, as I showed before it,
-
we clearly see that from that place,, this is evident that he sees the happening in the premier plane.
-
This kind of horror, death rattle who was just earwitness that day morning,
-
The mere curiosity could have moved the people that they look at what happened.
-
I am sure that this had already happened,
-
but then later I had known about this man had a similar situation with his high rage of instinct, similar breed dog as well at once.
-
Where his dog was the attacker dog.
-
So I realized that this kind of irresponsible dog owner collaborate,
-
and saved each other from this kind of situation.
-
He added one more thing to my case with huge empathy that this is involved in keeping dogs.
-
I would like to feedback it in my other video.
-
I reveal that this is not involved in keeping dogs.
-
In the 21. century, in the city, in the area of the family house, nearby the playground, this is not in it.
-
Moreover!It would not have to be in it, in as much as we are a responsible dog owner.
-
Pitiable that the people, the dog owners do not stand up for each other.
-
They turn their heads away and choose the easier way, the more comfortable way and do not confront the neighbors.
-
For this, I can say that: Today me, tomorrow, you!
-
You do not expect anybody to stand up for you.
-
For those, who not understand why have I been dealing with this yet?
-
Three months ago happened this horrible thing and asked me why don't I have another dog,
-
for those, I send the word that they did not live that, what I did.
-
They have no clue, how is when every night the man wakes with a start
-
that again and again plays the attack in their mind.
-
How is living with PTSD every day.
-
My dog was a family member and there was huge work in it and took years to got this symbiotic leaving with each other.
-
It is different to lose our pet in this way,
-
mostly a young, in his best years, healthy dog,
-
as if the dog is older, or sick and you have to euthanize its or have another kind of problem.
-
He is not to be replaced for me.
-
I do not feel that in this deep traumatized condition I could start over everything with a new dog.
-
I would not dare to walk outside.
-
This is a question of the future if I have a dog once then how can I be able to do this again.
-
Because of this, it would have not to happen.
-
Lots of people said to me, that this horrible thing does not happen twice in my life
-
For this, I just say that this would not have happened once either.
-
We were not in the forest, not on an abandoned ranch where can not watch out,
-
where are stray dogs.
-
So this is the point, and every responsible dog owner should consider it
-
I do not wish anybody that night of the tragedy, what I was living then.
-
This was the day of the tragedy
-
and what happened that day after that those situations can give edification to every owner.
-
I will continue next.
-
That one will be from a calmer place, not from here from the spot of the tragedy,
-
from where I can speak hardly about it now as well.
-
Thank you for watching me.
