My Dog bit me

How? Who else is gonna be able to surely say "Hey I'm pretty sure this man beats up this dog"

Just imagine her own dad's reaction if he finds out his own child calls the police on him, it can cause many issues
my dad would whoop my a**

Okay so my dad told my sister to put roxy in her cage but she can't because she keeps trying to attack her and she was choking her like she had her collar on tight and tried to put her in her cage but wasn't moving up the steps and I texted my mom and I'm trying to give her to a shelter

I don't want to call the police on my dad BUT

If you guys think it's for the best I will

he's not home right now and I think he's trying to buy a muzzle

I don't want to live in this family anymore

I want to die

I don't want to call the cops I don't want to get in trouble or get yelled at or get involved

I want to cry and just run away
 
Even though I ****ing hate animal abuse and anyone who harms animals calling the police on your own parent just kinda makes it worse...

If this is 100% serious, I think you should just safeguard your dog or ask a neighbor if they can watch her until your dad gets some time to cool off and think reasonably

You should probably try to find a better home for her

If I had a parent who abuses animals I would call the police without a second thought, but that's just me.

1. Call your Mum for advice, as she seems to be the Knight in shining armor.
2. Take care of yourself.
3. Figure out what to do with the Dog for the main time.
4. Don't tell your Dad anything.
5. Give the Dog to people who will love and care for it, because your Dad clearly doesn't and it seems like you don't either, as you have admitted he has harmed the Dog in the past and you haven't done anything about it.
6. Sort your abusive Dad out so he won't even consider hurting anyone/anything.


Hopefully your resolve this but in the main time, good luck.

Your dad sounds like a piece of work too then if you're serious that he'd hit you yikes

I don't think you should call the place unless you think its necessary but right now you seem to be panicking, so take a deep breath and have a glass of water.

Give the Dog to a shelter, I think its for the best and solve your family issues because its the main issue right now in my eyes.

My love, take a deep breath. You don't need to call the police. I REPEAT: you DON'T need to call the police.

Breathe in,

breathe out.

Breathe in,

breathe out.

Breathe in,

breathe out.

Follow that again until you are calm. Counting your breathing will help you. Let's answer some questions to try to figure out what's going on. I've grown up around dogs and vets. It'll be okay. I'll help you to the best of my ability.

1. How old is the dog?
2. What breed is the dog?
3. How did you get her?
4. What is her normal behavior?
5. Is she familiar with your sister?
6. Does she tend to have problems getting into her cage?

You don't have to answer them all if you can't, just try to the best of your ability.
 
If I had a parent who abuses animals I would call the police without a second thought, but that's just me.

I would do it for any person out there, but if it was my parents I would definitely stand up and cover the dog or animal with my body b/c if I ever called the police on my parents I would probably be kicked out onto the street

I'm more devoted to animals than most people tbh

I just mean if I did I'm pretty sure he would be mad
He hasn't hit me and my brother in years (like 6 or 7 years ago), now he just grounds us
 
Don't listen to the people telling you to call the police to report your dad. It's well intentioned, but we don't even know when this one instance of him kicking the dog even happened. He sounds temperamental, and assuming this kicking incident happened a long time ago, you'd just be getting him angry at you for no reason. You're stressed out enough at the moment wanting to run away from home, so reporting your dad to the police will only make things worse.

Look into getting the dog into a shelter so they can find her a better home. Keep an eye on your bite wounds as has been stated earlier.
 
And can we focus on OP here?

Some parents hit their kids. Some parents don't. In some countries it is allowed. In some countries it isn't. Just because you don't think it's right to spank or hit your children, doesn't mean it doesn't work. I was spanked as a child, and I am fine. I would also be thrown out - not hit or abused, so calm down - if I was to call the police on my mother (dad is dead) for an animal. Sometimes it is instinct to protect a child from what harms them and yes this can come in the form of "animal abuse"! The main thing here is to make sure OP is okay, and that the dog can be protected if need be. This can be done without calling the police and causing an array of family problems. (I mean, there is also money for the fine that comes with calling police for animal abuse, and we don't know the financial situation of OP.)

JUST HAD TO SAY IT.
 
1. How old is the dog?She's like 4 or 3 years
2. What breed is the dog? It's a mut??
3. How did you get her? From a neighbor
4. What is her normal behavior? She's usually fine but she can get *****y and growl at you but this time I didn't get that warning
5. Is she familiar with your sister? I guess
6. Does she tend to have problems getting into her cage? Yes

I'm not sure how that helps but I think I'm fine now

still wanna die and run away yes but

I'm probably gonna tell my guidance counselor what happened

Okay I was hit as a child before?

Like my dad the other day threatened to punch me in the face

Like I'm aware he's abusive and I think tomorrow will be the first day I open up to the guidance counselor about it because I was always scared that if I called the cops on my family then I would either be an orphan and be away from all my friends aka my support system

or I'll live with my mother and we'll be hella poor and I'll cry because I'll feel like I was better off with my dad
 
Put him in the naughty corner.

I was thinking maybe therapy. Sarcasm isn't really needed when this persons Dad is abusive and may eventually harm her/her sister or her Mum, abusive people usually start abusing animals and this leads to them abusing people overtime.

What size is she: Small, Medium, Big, etc.
This can help way more than saying "she's a mutt"
 
Clearly not if you think it's okay to hit children

LMAO I'm not saying it's okay to hit children, I'm not going to have a conversation where you take what I say out of context either. This is about OP and her dog, and that's what I'm here for. Good day.
 
if you reasoning behind not standing up to your parents is fear of getting smacked or hit, there's a problem. if your family hits, kicks or harms animals, theres a problem. if you defend hitting your kids and classifying hitting an animal one time as "an accident" theres a problem. thats gross.
 
Like my dad the other day threatened to punch me in the face

little red flag going up..


Yeah try to talk your mom about EVERYTHING including the threat and the dog unless she sides with him and if she does, try to sort it out with the Guidance Counselor.

TBH neither are really a help, some breeds are more high strung or hyper than others, it doesn't really have anything to do with their size.
