It might help if you give a few more details.
A dog on the attack does not get preferential legal treatment to the human under attack.
A dog being kicked and abused is protected under the law.

"This is animal cruelty, I can't think it is ever acceptable to kick any animal, unless it was attacking some one but then I'd still question their methods" I thought the same.. Animal cruelty. No didn't attack anyone. | |||

"If s dog is off the lead and runs and jumps up, is it ok to kick them so hard they fly up in the air!? " I think if it's genuinely attacking you, you can do whatever it takes to subdue the animal. Whatever force necessary. | |||

"If s dog is off the lead and runs and jumps up, is it ok to kick them so hard they fly up in the air!? " Probably not as it's animal cruelty but the onus is to be responsible and not have your dog off lead in public places. I always have mine on a lead when out even though he's as soft as shit but other people don't know that. | |||

Whatever force necessary. It wasn't attacking anyone" If it's just kind of playfully jumping up at you then there's nothing you can do other than have a word with the owner. Tell them they should maybe keep the dog on a lead. | |||

The size of puppy, the ferocity of it's approach, the danger to the children and many other factors COULD mean that this is not seen as animal cruelty. For a case of cruelty intent may also need to be proved. Protecting the children in the face of an apparent attack would trump a claim of animal cruelty. | |||

"I don't know where you all walk your dogs but my daft ten year old dogs are off lead all the time, as are all the other dogs! They do have to be microchipped and wearing a collar with their address on it. Anybody who'd kick my dogs would find themselves in court. My youngest dog, a chihuahua aged 18 months is a little devil though. He's never off lead, I put him in a red harness marked CAUTION and on a red lead. People still try to touch him. Grrrrr " Does he go for people when they go to stroke him? | |||

Sad as it is kicking it is the safest thing for the human to do cause it's a lot more force and if it does grab you at least it's only a foot you're gonna lose rather than a hand. The lesson to be learned here is control your dog's and surprisingly parents put the lives of their children ahead of the well being of your dog. I notice you don't say what happened to the dog I'm guessing it foot up and ran back to its owner pretty much unharmed beyond a bit of bruising.? | |||

"If s dog is off the lead and runs and jumps up, is it ok to kick them so hard they fly up in the air!?
It might help if you give a few more details.
A dog on the attack does not get preferential legal treatment to the human under attack.
A dog being kicked and abused is protected under the law.
From what I have read.. A puppy was in a field (like they do)
Running around (like they do)
A man arrives with 2 boys roughly 3 or 4 years of age.
The puppy runs up to them (like they do)
The man then kicks the puppy so hard it flies up into the air "Our dachshund puppy goes out in the field across the road from us, he doesn't go on a lead, never has over in the field. Never will. (different places he goes on a lead until it's out of the way to let him off) If a bloke saw fit to kick my puppy, I'd see fit to kick him square in the bollocks | |||

"But is there any need to kick a puppy into the air?? If it was my kids I would protect them by shoving it away, as its a puppy, I can take nips and snaps form a puppy, I wouldn't kick it so hard it goes flying, I am sure by the time you shove it away the owner would have had it back under control! but yes maybe before I seen red, but still, no need to kick the poor thing with such force it flies!"

I guess you use whatever force necessary. Depends on the animal you're dealing with. This kind of behaviour on a puppy is total overkill. Sounds like the guy totally lost it. | |||

How are you defining puppy though? I've seen people call a 6 month old lab a puppy. You would not "take a couple of nips" from that without some major surgery afterwards. Dude saw his kids in danger panicked and did the first thing that came to mind and kicked it. Sadly all of this could have been avoided by a 5 pound lead till the animal was properly trained. | |||

If it was my kids I would protect them by shoving it away, as its a puppy, I can take nips and snaps form a puppy, I wouldn't kick it so hard it goes flying, I am sure by the time you shove it away the owner would have had it back under control! but yes maybe before I seen red, but still, no need to kick the poor thing with such force it flies! How are you defining puppy though? I've seen people call a 6 month old lab a puppy. You would not "take a couple of nips" from that without some major surgery afterwards. Dude saw his kids in danger panicked and did the first thing that came to mind and kicked it. Sadly all of this could have been avoided by a 5 pound lead till the animal was properly trained." | |||

I guess you use whatever force necessary. Depends on the animal you're dealing with. This kind of behaviour on a puppy is total overkill. Sounds like the guy totally lost it." The word puppy is really emotive. It conjures up small, cute and fluffy. A large breed dog is still a puppy at 18 months to two years. A year old dog will be pretty much the size it is likely to be but is still a puppy. | |||

"If s dog is off the lead and runs and jumps up, is it ok to kick them so hard they fly up in the air!?
It might help if you give a few more details.
A dog on the attack does not get preferential legal treatment to the human under attack.
A dog being kicked and abused is protected under the law.
From what I have read.. A puppy was in a field (like they do)
Running around (like they do)
A man arrives with 2 boys roughly 3 or 4 years of age.
The puppy runs up to them (like they do)
The man then kicks the puppy so hard it flies up into the air
I'd kick him so hard in the fucking balls...animal cruelty absolutely boils my piss there is no need for it... " OMG!!!!!! poor little pup.......my rage against those who hurt animals knows no limits I abhor any form of intentional neglect and cruelty.. | |||

"Anyway we are only reading what the dog owners have put on Facebook, is there any photo evidence or video of the dog flying through the air? Apparently cctv" Then that will determine whether the dog was under reasonable control and the man was cruel and over-reacting. Or, whether he had a reasonable fear for the children he was with and acted to prevent an attack. | |||

"If s dog is off the lead and runs and jumps up, is it ok to kick them so hard they fly up in the air!? I think if it's genuinely attacking you, you can do whatever it takes to subdue the animal. Whatever force necessary." Going back donkeys years I remember my dad...being "attacked" by a Jack Russell seriously trying to bite his ankles managed to get his foot under the dog. He didn't actually kick it, but he did manage to flick it up in the air so it ended up on a flat shed roof..... I was about 10 at the time and I feckin near wet myself laughing. The basic fact is though...and I deplore cruelty to animals..... If a dog attacks a human then anything goes! No animals life is above that of a human! | |||

Probably not as it's animal cruelty but the onus is to be responsible and not have your dog off lead in public places. I always have mine on a lead when out even though he's as soft as shit but other people don't know that. On the lead even in a field ?" Only if there's other people about without dogs though. | |||

"This is animal cruelty, I can't think it is ever acceptable to kick any animal, unless it was attacking some one but then I'd still question their methods Err you ever tried to stop a dog attack there's a story where guy had to stab the living hell out of one to stop with so much force one knife bent an d another broke. Kicking a dog if it's ripping into some isn't even going to get it to stop and think in most cases Dogs are nails. He obviously wasn't attacking anyone then for the man to kick him and halt him in the air OP, I can't find a story online of a man kicking a puppy in the air where two children are involved. There are plenty of horrific stories of puppies being kicked by cruel men, mostly those who own them. How are you certain that this particular puppy was not at least appearing to be ready to attack the children? Our dog jumps up to greet us and anyone coming through the front door. When out he has only jumped up to us, his family and friends, when playing. If he jumped up to strangers he would be in trouble as they don't know his intent. It's local and only happened today. They put it on book face to spread the word. I assume you mean the puppy's owners put it on their FaceBook rather than the parent of the children? Without both sides of this I wouldn't rush to say it's animal cruelty. As I said about the size of the puppy, the fear for the children etc. would all come into play. Some puppies are enormous but some of the smaller ones can be snappy/biters too. An untrained puppy heading towards small children can be scary. " Exactly this, it could been a puppy Doberman for all anyone nows, im a parent and yes if a strange dog or puppy jumped at my child, instinct would kick in to protect my child, I'm also a dog owner, and always keep my dog on a lead at all times in public | |||

" On the lead even in a field ?" Why not? For training yes. My puppy was sometimes on a lead when in a remote place.

"The thing is, I think because people have heard the word "puppy" we all assume it's a tiny, fluffy little thing with big beautiful eyes and floppy ears, right? Some nearly-grown dogs are still classesd as puppies and without knowing the breed, size or just how quick this dog was running at them, we can't know exactly what the Dad thought was going to happen to his children... Our old dog used to get so excited that when she'd lick you, it looked like she was snapping/trying to bite you. However, because of her energy and personality, she was never let off the lead. - Amy. x " Exactly! Even at 17 weeks a boxer could be the same weight as a three year old child but with more teeth and claws. | |||

"Quite a few people have a severe phobia of dogs - maybe the guy was terrified of dogs, and didn't understand dog body language (not everyone does) and add his young kids into the mix - maybe that's why he reacted the way he did? Personally I'd never let my dog run up to a young child. And I'm always very annoyed at anyone who let's their dogs do this to my kids and don't even attempt to call them off? We have a dog but my kids are naturally (and rightly so) wary of dogs they don't know. And I'd never be able to pick up a 3 AND a 4 year old without falling over! One or the other, but not both?! No one should kick a dog. And no one should let a dog run up to young kids like that. I also have two friends with young kids who are absolutely petrified of dogs. One had a dog run up and sniff and try to lick him, and I think it may have jumped up as well, and the poor kid was shaken up so badly, it affected him for a long time afterwards and made his phobia much worse.

"Training its all about training, lots of people simply don't train their dogs, small or large. Puppies should never be off lead as its training would be minimal if any. Dog owners seem to forget that others are nervous/terrified of dogs, yet they ignore that ? Socialise the puppy on lead, kids love puppies. Had this pup been on lead the father may not of have had no issues leaving all with a positive experience. Now this puppy could and probably will be nervous around people, not good as it may never fully trust people again, nervous dogs bite! Boxers fully grown are big powerful dogs, training needs to be done right as there may not be a second chance.

"I can understand both points of view. I wasn't aware of the new laws that were put in place from last May. If I had such a phobia of dogs or my kids, I wouldn't take them to a field that was used for dog walkers. Not EVERYONE keeps their dog on a lead in a field. Thanks for your Input ". If the field is public like a park I think by law they should be on a lead, if the field is private you shouldn't be on the field without permission, it's a tricky call but people really should think on before buying a dog. The onus is on them not the person with the children | |||

Thanks for your Input "Taking you at your word ( If 'we' had a phobia of dogs, I wouldn't take my kids to field that was used for dog walkers ) What you are saying is that we should restrict the free movement of humans for dogs and their owners. Are there any specifically dog walking areas in England ? I don't know of any. There's precious few free and decent places to take the next generation. | |||

Thanks for your Input "My friends boy who had the phobia is fine if a dog is away from him but can't cope with dogs coming up close. Should she keep him in the house 24/7? The time he was spooked by a dog was right outside his playgroup, in the playgroup car park! No dog owner should let their dog randomly go up to little kids without calling it back. And if it does to come back when called then it should be on a lead. Puppy training and dog training classes are everywhere if you don't know how to train a dog yourself. I also own a dog and let it off - she will go up to other people when she is off but I call her back and she comes straight back! | |||

"Training its all about training, lots of people simply don't train their dogs, small or large. Puppies should never be off lead as its training would be minimal if any. Dog owners seem to forget that others are nervous/terrified of dogs, yet they ignore that ? Socialise the puppy on lead, kids love puppies. Had this pup been on lead the father may not of have had no issues leaving all with a positive experience. Now this puppy could and probably will be nervous around people, not good as it may never fully trust people again, nervous dogs bite! Boxers fully grown are big powerful dogs, training needs to be done right as there may not be a second chance.

We have all the paperwork for our pup, he goes to the vet every month for flea treatment and worming every 3 months, also get his weight checked.
I would fully support a dog license required by law to own a dog | |||

" I was sitting on a park bench first time out after my op, from nowhere a dog bounded up and jumped at my stomach ripping the stitches half out, it wasn't a dangerous breed, what would have happened if I'd been a child or it had ripped my stomach completely open? " Exactly the same thing as would have happened if a four or five year old child had run up to you and caught you in the stomach. Your injury was not because it was a dog that jumped on you but because you already had stitches from the operation. As to the dog being kicked we were not there and have only heard part of the story. I wonder why the man took his two young children into the field where a dog (puppy) was running around. We have got to the stage in this country where personal responsibility has been forgotten. | |||

It's the owners responsibility to be in control of the dog, it's not for everyone else to have to avoid them. I have a dog and no kids so if anything my view should be biased the other way. | |||

"I don't know where you all walk your dogs but my daft ten year old dogs are off lead all the time, as are all the other dogs! They do have to be microchipped and wearing a collar with their address on it. Anybody who'd kick my dogs would find themselves in court. My youngest dog, a chihuahua aged 18 months is a little devil though. He's never off lead, I put him in a red harness marked CAUTION and on a red lead. People still try to touch him. Grrrrr Does he go for people when they go to stroke him? " He has never bitten but he barks and backs off, a signal which is seen as aggression but is actually fear. If really, really pushed he will bite, as my special needs 14 year old son will testify. He's had numerous bites to his face because he pushes the dog to his absolute limit and the dog just snaps. Poor dog, he didn't ask to be harassed by my oaf of a son! All dogs have a limit: it's down to the people to recognise the signals the dog is giving off. | |||

Under the new rules if your dog bites someone while off the lead you are criminally responsible for it. I think a ten year prison sentence for the worst offenders was mentioned.... You pays your money, you take your chances  | |||

"Its not down to me - or anyone else - to 'read the signals' your dog is giving off. Its down to YOU to keep it under close control. If a person approaches your dog whilst its on a lead its down to you to warn them off. Keep your dog on a lead at all times in public places, that is your legal responsibility, no one else's "
So many people don't take proper responsibility for their dogs. I'm a bit scared of dogs and it can spoil my enjoyment of public spaces sometimes. | |||

I wouldn't expect a dog to tolerate my son's advances but I also wouldn't tolerate a dog biting my child, no matter what breed or how small/"cute" they are... | |||

Never have I had a random child run up to me and hit me in the stomach. This dog came from nowhere. ALL dogs should be kept on a lead in a public place. I've also seen a child about 8 go over his handle bars because a dog ran out of nowhere on a cycle path and he breaked not to hit the dog. Maybe bigger fines would make the dog owners keep them under control | |||

"If s dog is off the lead and runs and jumps up, is it ok to kick them so hard they fly up in the air!? Sure why not. Sounds like fun! We could start a whole new craze "Aaaaaand maybe thats why so many Southerners think Northerners are twats. Gimp | |||

"New dangerous dog laws came in fairly recently. Even a dog on your own property can be considered dangerous and be put down if a court agrees it's dangerous. Animals do have a lot less rights than people, we do eat them after all. Out of control Your dog is considered dangerously out of control if it: injures someone makes someone worried that it might injure them https://www.gov.uk/control-dog-public/overview" This is incorrect. It is only considered dangerous if it is out of control whilst being dangerous. i.e barking aggressively or biting or chasing (teeth out) kind of thing) Being a nuisance can also be considered as being out of control, but if the handler had good recall, and the dog recalls first or second attempt to name, command or whistle etc them it is not out of control (as I believe) It can also be reported as being aggressive if someone feels intimidated by it, but again - this is open to interpretation. If the dog is on lead, or if again the dog has good recall, it would ha to be assessed, if they find the dog in time and are able to trace the owner. But yes, the laws have tightened up now to include private property. Having warning signs no longer mean anything. | |||
