My dog Fredd was mauled by 6 hog hunting dogs earlier today. The mobile vet was only a hour away and took him right away. 8 stiches. 7 wounds.
I was bitten too. I am fine. He is resting now on his bed. The dogs were not supposed to be out of the pens. I will post more info later. I thank goodness people were around when it happened....Pulled the dogs off of him. would have killed him if no one else around.

If your skin was broken, you might not be fine. Infections take time to develop.
I hope you and Fredd are OK. I know you’re worried more about Fredd than yourself. He’ll mend, dogs are tough. He will be skittish for a while around other dogs, perhaps. He’s lucky he didn’t suffer much more serious injuries with that many dogs involved. Best start carrying a bit of mace or something with you.
OMG!!!
I am SO sorry for both you and Fredd.
The other dogs’ owner paid for the vet, I assume?
A lot of people use Danes and Wolfhounds for hogs.
Dogs an be strange.
Odin once liked other dogs.
At a vet’s office, an idiot with a red Golden Retriever sat right down next to us, despite the ample space elsewhere and his uncontrolled dog leaped across my husband, directly at me.
Naturally, Odin met him in mid-air and the moron [obviously a lib, based on clothes and wimpiness] then reeled his dog in.
From that day, Odin hated red, long haired dogs.
Then all long haired dogs.
Then any dog remotely resembling that dog.
As time passed, he apparently said “Screw it, play it safe” and hated all other dogs.
A Dobe owner friend, who spent thousands of dollars on her dog’s training as a service dog, had it all ruined when an unleashed dog attacked her dog in a park.
He became terrified of other dogs, often to the point of fear-aggression.
She had to start over.
He’s able to work now, at his job but 5 years of his working life was wasted, because of someone who did not control their own dog.
Dogs: God’s example of His unconditional love for us. They are deserving of our prayers. Prayers offered. Let us know when he is healed.
Hey, recall now, freeper Kanawa killed a bear with a knife!
Thoughts and sincere beast wishes from myself plus Tiger, Joey, Bernie and Blondie.
Prayers for you both.
Prayers for your best friend and you.
So sorry to hear this about Fredd and you! Best wishes for a quick and complete recovery!
Prayers up for Fredd! Good boy!
Dear Lord Please comfort and heal Fred Quickly. Please help Fred and his human get passed this trama quickly with no emotional scares. In Jesus name I pray AMEN!
I never knew
I thought they were just decoration dogs today
An image now of their original intent in appearance only
Wolfhounds are still pretty regal but Danes are like big puppies
Praying for you and Fredd.
My Lynn-dah was attacked by two runty dogs a few weeks ago.
Fortunately, I was wearing my motorcycle boots.
I can’t even imagine having to deal with SIX big ones.
Yes, I don’t doubt it. Dogs all react differently to being bitten. I had one little one who got nailed by a couple of big dogs, and he was over it after a couple of days, but just didn’t want to go down that street anymore. I’ve had about 20 dogs in my life, every one of them different in significant ways when it comes to personality.
That I did not know, but I believe it!
My carrying knife is just a 2 1/2 inch blade, Spyderco Harpy. It can do some nasty damage, but it is quite small.
Either of my fixed blade knives could be capable of killing larger animals, especially if made into a spear, but I don’t carry those, I’m not sure that it is legal to carry large blades in Fl.
Prayers up.
It the skin was broken, those other dogs should be
quarantined until it’s proven you don’t have rabies.
Get well soon Fredd.
Hi....sorry for the late response yes they paid for it. He is doing better. Not limping as much. Wounds look good. Mine too.
