Unfortunately there are many people that are irresponsible with their dogs no matter the breed.If you own a dog you will know their behaviour very well so you have to make sure that you keep it under control at all times. I own a staffy and although he is not aggressive and he is friendly with most dogs he will not back down from a fight if provoked therefore he is always on a 15 m lead.Knowing his power and the damage it can do to another dog I never risk letting him of lead.
It is horrible that people don't take responsibility of their dog.
With regards to the attack:Never put your hands on the dos mouth trying to open it,there is no chance to open a locked jaw that way.
Lift the dogs back legs up and have someone pull the collar up the neck and twist it.I know it sounds bad but chocking it a bit makes it release quicker.If it still doesn't work you will have to put a stick or a finger up the dogs bum and that will definitely make it release.
Try to keep the other dog as still as possible as it's movement will make the staffy hold on to it even longer.
I had to break up 2 staffies and the finger method was the only thing that worked.
Make sure that someone is holding the dog by the collar and keeps the dog up as once they realese they will try to get the dog again.
Sorry for such a long post!I hope my advice helps a bit and I do hope no one will have to do this.
Please remember always try to get the dog that is attacking and do not pick your own dog up.
Thank you so much for posting this and the picture and I am sure they will be found and held accountable for their actions! Horrible human beings shouldn't be allowed to own a dog+
