*sigh* ... got a situation that I need some advice on..

Renters with two dogs. An American Pitbull (missing part of its tail), and a Bull Arab. Both males and the Bull Arab only appeared in recent months.

Owners spend bugger all time with them, and thus the dogs bark, dig, and play fight (which turns into real fighting). The guy seems to be okay and can talk with the dogs and treat them fine, but his female partner seems mentally ill (either that or shes on drugs - a real possibility as she definitely looks the type).

Shes bogan with a real loud foul mouth on her too. Today one minute talking nice to the dog, next minute she is yelling in a threatening tone at it.

Then tonight she forcibly shoves one of the dogs over, before kicking it. Dog cowers off then. Not the first time I've heard her thump one (or both) of the dogs either.

...

The dogs seem like sweet dogs (albeit probably need a firm owner who spends at least some time a day with them, takes them for walks, and definitely need some professional dog training).

The guy seems okay with them and the dogs listen to him, just not the partner.

On one hand I don't think it's fair for the dogs to be in such an environment, but then there is the flipside... retaliation.

They don't seem to be the type that would listen, and since we have a dog, I'm not willing to take my chances that if they were put in to authorities they wouldn't try and bait it. If my assumptions are correct and she is mentally unhinged, who knows what she is capable of.

As it was she had a massive verbal with him the other day out the back and half the neighbourhood could hear it. Then came the screams, the yelling, and the tears.

Bit stuck on what to do on this one... Sure other neighbours could put them in I guess as well.

I know the agent they rent through.

its clear as day, its the Bull "Arab's" fault.

He doesn't like the infidel owner.

Went to move some pots today and noticed this beast under the lip. Thank fuck I checked first else I'd be in hospital now.

Got it out with a stick as I'm like "is it or isn't it a Red Back".

Have a go at the size of her.... To give reference that stick used to get her out is 15cm long. Abdomen on this female (clearly as males are smaller), was ready to burst out spider babies, and size of abdomen was the size of my pinky finger nail.

Sadly (because I hate having to kill insects unless they are those stupid fly *****) had to put her down as way too dangerous having something like that (and her babies) floating around.

We often move the pot it was under when we mow.

They're the most loyal dogs you'll ever get. Interesting fact is they are related to wolves. Once called the Alsatian Wolf Dog, German Shepherds are not part wolf. They are, however, descendants from gray wolves in the same way that most domestic dogs are. Domestic dogs are part of the biological family known as Canidae, which also includes species such as wolves, foxes, and dingoes.

This is Samson.

He is a Shar-Pei X with God knows what (we think Mastiff, but his siblings look like rottie)

All we know he is 100% idiot

This photo from 7 years ago popped up on my FB feed today. Taken on the Strand in Croydon. He looks much older now. I've left him with my parents for a bit as he is good company for them at the moment as my father is ill (he's just one of those dogs), but I can't deny missing him heaps.
