点评:I want to share a recent, distressing experience as a warning to others. While walking at IJG Trails with our two small Yorkies—both on leashes—they were approached and attacked by two large dogs that were off-leash. One of our dogs was bitten and had to be taken to the vet for treatment. The incident also deeply traumatized my children.
What we observed was concerning: nearly all small dogs were leashed, while most large dogs were not. Many owners of large dogs appear overly confident that their pets are harmless, but this isn’t always the case. In our situation, the attacking dogs weren’t even accompanied by their owner—just someone (a relative to the owner) walking them, and without leashes.
I witnessed a similar incident last year and, regrettably, dismissed it as a one-off. Today, our pets were hurt—tomorrow, it could be a child on a bicycle.
Please be vigilant. Take care of your children and your pets. Stay safe.
翻译:我想分享最近一次令人痛心的经历,以此警示他人。我们带着两只小约克夏犬在IJG Trails散步时——两只都拴着绳子——突然被两只没拴绳的大狗靠近并袭击。其中一只狗被咬伤,不得不带去兽医那里治疗。这件事也给我的孩子们带来了深深的心理创伤。
我们观察到的情况令人担忧:几乎所有的小型犬都拴着绳子,而大多数大型犬都没有。许多大型犬的主人似乎过于自信地认为他们的宠物不会伤害人,但情况并非总是如此。在我们这里,袭击它们的狗甚至没有主人陪伴——只有一个人(主人的亲戚)在遛狗,而且没有拴绳子。
去年我目睹了类似的事件,遗憾的是,我当时把它当作个例。今天,我们的宠物受伤了——明天,受伤的可能是骑自行车的孩子。
请保持警惕。照顾好您的孩子和宠物。注意安全。
