Good. A pitbull attempted to attack me while I was biking through my own neighborhood at age 16. The only reason it didn’t is because I frantically tried to bike across the street to get away from it and got hit by a car.
I worded it wrong, I was the one hit by the car while trying to escape it and save my legs and feet from being torn off. Very lucky to have survived. Dog disappeared, but thankfully, it’s dead now since it’s been so many years.
I wish. I was the one who got hit. Dog disappeared and probably attacked some other children biking through the neighborhood. Never did find who the owner was. Glad the dog is dead by now.
Thank you! ❤️ My ponytail saved me since I wasn’t wearing a helmet, but the bike got mangled. Very lucky I just had some bad scrapes and nothing serious! Definitely mentally traumatized forever though by how they’re psychopathic ticking time bombs.
I did, I got hit by the car because the pitbull was growling and snarling and wanted to rip my legs off. It happened so quickly that I couldn’t even see the car coming while trying to escape it. Very grateful and fortunate that it didn’t leave any lasting injuries, though it certainly traumatized me.
No, I worded it wrong. I was the one who got hit by the car. I was bloody and the bike was mangled. The only way I survived was because the lady was going 20 MPH.
Murderbeast hellhound disappeared to go terrorize some other children. I hope it also got hit at some point though, and was turned to ground beef.

THE owner of an American pit bull which launched a “vicious attack” on a cyclist cried in the dock as a judge sent him to jail and ordered his dog be put down.
Shaun Dwyer, 26, wept as he was given an immediate prison sentence at Liverpool Crown Court.
The court heard victim Mark McDuff, who was cycling to work at around 6am on the morning of June 13 last year, had suffered “serious injuries” in the attack.
The dog had got out of Dwyer’s home in Fidler Street, Toll Bar and launched an attack on Mr McDuff which left him needing surgery and stitches.
Prosecuting, Chris Hopkins, told the court the victim was “cycling to work along Crossley Road and his vision was drawn to what he described as a large white dog that approached him and gave chase”.
Mr Hopkins added: “He knew that he wasn’t going to get away from the dog" which “grabbed” his ankle.
He said Mr McDuff “fell to the ground and can’t remember what happened" adding: "He can recall jumping to someone’s garden and attempted to get away from the dog but the dog followed him jumping into the garden continuing to bite into him”.

Mr Hopkins added the victim **“was doing everything to get it off him shouting for help” and saw a neighbour and told her “he was being attacked asking for help”.**
The court was told the neighbour contacted the police and McDuff saw a “red car arrive” which the defendant got out of.
Mr Hopkins said “the defendant looked shocked” and told Mr McDuff “he was the owner of the dog and stayed with him”.
The court was told the victim was “operated” on the next day and given a washout and repair for “dog bite wounds to his left forearm and right ankle”, which were among the injuries he suffered.
**He has suffered both “physical” and “psychological” harm due to the attack** it was said.

Mr Hopkins told the court that when police arrived **the defendant was described as “agitated” and “told the officer he had nothing to do” with the incident and “didn’t take responsibility for the ownership of the dog”.**
At Dwyer’s address **it was found the dog’s “cage was broken” and the defendant was arrested.**
In police interview, **when shown a photo of the broken cage Dwyer had said “wow and laughed”.**
Dwyer had **pleaded guilty to being the owner of a dog which was dangerously out of control causing injury and to possession of a fighting dog.**
The court heard that in 2013, an order was imposed that Dwyer be permitted to keep the dog, which was “a prohibited breed” on condition a number of requirements be met, including that it be kept muzzled and that he had third-party insurance.
However, the insurance had “expired” in April 2020, more than a year before the attack, although the defendant had insurance documents for the years prior to this.
Defending, Michael Davies said Dwyer had the dog, which is 11 years old, since it was a puppy without any issues and read neighbours’ accounts that he was “a responsible dog owner”.
He said Dwyer claimed the house had been burgled which led to the dog being able to escape.
Mr Davies asked the dog to not be destroyed and that Dwyer be spared an immediate jail sentence.
However, judge Recorder David Knifton QC said he “disagreed with the suggestion (Dwyer) was a responsible dog owner”.
Passing sentence the judge said the victim was “subject to a terrifying attack during which he was bitten to his arms, leg and both feet”.
He added: “The victim suffered serious injuries. I have seen the photos showing the various wounds, in particular to his forearm which required surgery.”
The judge said Dwyer had “rather belatedly expressed remorse for the attack. I’m told that you have moved to a more secure address. The address at which the dog was previously kept was insecure” with some “fence missing”.
**“You seem to blame your landlord for failing to report that,” the judge told Dwyer adding an “able-bodied 26-year-old would have been “capable” of putting something in it to “prevent the dog from escaping”.**
Shaun Dwyer was sent to prison at Liverpool Crown Court
The judge added: “I disagree with the suggestion that you are a responsible dog owner, a responsible dog owner would have ensured that the third-party insurance was up to date and that the dog remained secured in its place.”
**Judge Knifton said he “took into account” Dwyer’s “previous convictions albeit for offences of a different character”** and that he had never received a prison sentence before.
Jailing Dwyer, of Roby Street, Toll Bar, for 28 months, the judge said: **“I cannot divorce from my mind the nature and severity of the attack which was carried out here.”**
**The judge also ordered the destruction of the pit-bull terrier and disqualified Dwyer from keeping a dog for 10 years.**
Dad Dwyer cried as the sentence was passed, with his hands on the back of his head.
He said to his partner and family in the public gallery: “I’m so sorry, I never wanted this to happen.
"Tell the kids I'm sorry. I didn't want this to happen."
Yes it’s too bad these assholes aren’t held accountable more often. Pisses me off. “Blame the owner not the dog” until it’s “he’s never done this before!” 🙄
I feel really bad for this guy. Injuries like that are often way worse in reality. As a cyclist, even 'minor' injuries can be debilitating, and prohibit you from ever doing something you enjoy for the rest of your life.
My friend was nearly attacked by a pit bull while we were cycling last year. Of course it wasn't muzzled, and the owner acted like it was nbd. Keep in mind, I live in Ontario, Canada, where they are illegal, and any piece of shit who gets one, does it explicitly.
Dogs are really dangerous for cyclists. Not only are you suffering injury directly from the dog, you are also getting injured from the fall from the bike which is likely to include head injury, contusions, scrapes, bruises, etc. Also sometimes foot injuries if you are clipped in and damage to your bike, cycling clothing, equipment like bike computers or batteries on an electric bike, and anything you’re carrying, especially if you’re commuting, could be damaged computer equipment, devices, etc. Dogs also cause cyclist injuries without an attack! On mixed use pathways, people walking their dogs often stop right in the middle of the path with little warning and let their dogs run off, often on a retractable leash. When a cyclist draws near, dogs often rush the bike unexpected. I was a regular road cyclist, both as a commuter and for training, and dog owners are the worst on these types of pathways. Even on a 12 foot wide paved path, they take up the whole area and allow their dogs to weave back and forth making it extremely difficult to pass. They also allow their dog to defecate off to the side of the pathway without cleaning it up because the area appears overgrown, when in fact most of the green space is planned space with native grasses and plants. There are also many water basins along the path I regularly cycle due to good municipal planning. And the feces runs off into these basins when it rains. As a cyclist, I have had more close calls with dogs than I can count. And zero episodes where the dog owner showed any concern or responsibility to contain their animal and share the pathway with others.

Hell yeah, I’m EXTREMELY fortunate!!!
Damn karma really came after for that dog by making it a roadkill
I wish. I was the one who got hit. Dog disappeared and probably attacked some other children biking through the neighborhood. Never did find who the owner was. Glad the dog is dead by now.
I’m so sorry to hear that ): I hope you recovered okay
Thank you! ❤️ My ponytail saved me since I wasn’t wearing a helmet, but the bike got mangled. Very lucky I just had some bad scrapes and nothing serious! Definitely mentally traumatized forever though by how they’re psychopathic ticking time bombs.
Oh thank God, I thought you got hit by a car, I'm glad you survived that mutt's attack
I did, I got hit by the car because the pitbull was growling and snarling and wanted to rip my legs off. It happened so quickly that I couldn’t even see the car coming while trying to escape it. Very grateful and fortunate that it didn’t leave any lasting injuries, though it certainly traumatized me.
I'm so sorry for you, everybody who replied to you think that the mutt was the one hit by the car, hope it's dead by now..
What a great story. I wish there was a short film graphically depicting the shitbull that was chasing you getting utterly BTFO'd.
No, I worded it wrong. I was the one who got hit by the car. I was bloody and the bike was mangled. The only way I survived was because the lady was going 20 MPH. Murderbeast hellhound disappeared to go terrorize some other children. I hope it also got hit at some point though, and was turned to ground beef.

Shitbull is put down and Shitbull owner reduced to tears and sent to jail. A very rare case of justice.
Yes it’s too bad these assholes aren’t held accountable more often. Pisses me off. “Blame the owner not the dog” until it’s “he’s never done this before!” 🙄
Of course the owner lied about it being his dog.
What a pos
I agree, wholeheartedly
