The owner of moment an out-of-control dog who savaged two police horses in an east London park has insisted she is so friendly and it wasnt her fault.
Hakan Niyazis American Bully Coco clamps its jaws on a Metropolitan Police animal in shocking footage filmed on Wednedsay.
Two policemen on horseback were on patrol in Victoria Park, Hackney when an off-lead dog charged at one of their horses Urbane biting down on his legs.
Viral footage, viewed more than 220,000 times on TikTok, appears to show the mounted officers scream can someone get hold of the dog, for f***s sake and hit it.

The police horse stumbles and kicks out at the canine, believed to be American Bulldog XL.
One man tries to break the bullys grip with a large branch.

The dog is eventually pulled off the bucking horse and held down by a brave passerby.

The officers bark: Get that lead on the dog now.

The dog was taken away by officers and is still in police kennels.

College sturnet Hakan, who is in his mid-20s, told The Sun: It might look like I wasnt doing much but I was trying my hardest. I tried to grab her.
She was intimidated by the horse. She felt threatened.
I thought the horse was going to kick me. If it kicks me Im dead. If it killed me then people would be feeling sorry for me.

He criticised the have-a-go-hero passer-by who stepped in to help, using a long stick to keep the dog at bay.
The guy was rude, said Hakan who has had Coco for around a year.
I was so angry at the time. He said I didnt do nothing. I tried.
I reciprocate energy. If youre rude to me I will be rude back to you.
He was angry. He was swearing, being rude. I was trying my hardest.
Hakan described the dog as so friendly, claiming he couldnt understand what had happened because Coco has been around horses before.
He added: Ive been stressing about it all night. Shes my pride and joy. Thats the only thing that keeps me sane. My little girl.
Shes so friendly. With any human shes so good. I dont know why it happened.
I want it to go to court. I want to have my say.
That stuff never happened before. Next time I know not to take my dog off a lead.
The owner has not been arrested.
Horse Urbane was taken to the vets for stitches to his belly and legs but will be back on duty as soon as he has fully recovered, police said.

A witness told The Sun: It was shocking and scary. You could tell it was bad.
I spotted the dog and the body language was way too interested in the horses and was going over to antagonise them.
The marketing worker added: Eventually theres one brave witness who grabbed the dog but then the owner takes his time to go over and put the dog on the lead.

I was apologetic that I couldnt do anything but I was keeping my own dog on the lead and under control.
A Met Police Taskforce spokesperson tweeted: PH Urbane from Bow was attacked by a dog off the lead in #VictoriaPark yesterday.
We cant stress enough how important it is to keep dogs on a lead if you cant recall them or get them under control. Huge thanks to members of public who tried to help Urbane.
He has been to the vets and is having some well-earned recuperation. He will hopefully be back on duty as soon as he has fully recovered but not before.

A Met spokeswoman said: On Wednesday, 22 March a dog was seized in Victoria Park, Tower Hamlets, after it attacked a police horse.
The horse required stitches and is expected to return to duty following its recovery.
The dog remains in police kennels and officers are in contact with its owner
No arrests have been made.
Enquiries continue.

Dog is lucky it didn't get it's skull caved in.

Also, intentionally letting your dog off a leash/lead in public should result in your arrest, a fine and impounding of your dog. If your dog attacks someone or another animal, they should be put down for the public's safety.

I'm worried for the dog. The cops will probably want to put it down. I feel bad for the owner. Its so sad to lose a pet over 1 moment of mistake.

Why violence? Are you unable to use something else?

And do what? Permanently cage the dog? Send it to a shelter for the rest of its life?

A violent dog is a threat to those around it. It's one thing for a dog to be cornered and attack out of sheer fear so it can flee. It's another for it to fly into a blind rage, endlessly attacking something.

I had a brain fart and thought this was about a person who was a bully and American.

Owner even looks like a douchebag, which isn't a big shocker.

The owner lost any semblance of sympathy when he took his dog off the leash. If you are taking a dog in public it is your responsibility to have:

1) A working leash appropriate for your dog
2) The physical ability to actually use said leash to control the dogs movement.

If you fail either of these things you should be fined and you should be evaluated to see if you are an appropriate caretaker of the animal. No fucking excuses.

People need to be charged with everything their pet does in public, especially if there is an analogous existing law like if your dog bites someone, you cop a battery charge.

Too bad law enforcement would never be on board with that.

Bullys arent Pits.
