This happened during the filming of The Bounty Hunter with Jen Aniston. www.contactmusic.com/news/butler-bites-back-over-dog-fight-allegation_1114047Butler Bites Back Over Dog Fight Allegation More Sharing Services Scottish actor GERARD BUTLER has hit back after a woman accused him of lashing out following a vicious fight between the pair's dogs. Butler's unleashed pet Lolita bumped noses with Maria Vareckas' greyhound when the pair were out walking their dogs in New York on Monday afternoon (24Aug09), sending the animals into attack mode. Vareckas has accused the actor of "verbal abuse", insisting Butler flew into a rage and slammed her dog's head against a nearby fence. Vareckas tells the New York Post, "(He was) shouting, 'That dog should be put down!' I said, 'Your dog should be put on a leash.' He kept on going and going, ranting and raving... He was being verbally abusive. (He) walks back, ranting and raving still and pointing, saying, 'You know what? You know what? This dog should be put down!' And he smacked the dog in the head. The dog's head went into the fence. I was shaking. The dog yelped. I said, 'Keep your hands off my dog! Why did you hit my dog?' He didn't say a word." However, Butler has denied the allegation, insisting he spent four hours at a Manhattan animal hospital while vets tended to Lolita's wounds. A spokesperson for the actor says, "What happened was, Gerry was walking his dog, Lolita, who is this little, small pug, a teeny thing. You can hold her in one arm, she's that small. Then, suddenly, this greyhound, this huge, menacing dog, bites Lolita. She (Maria Varecka) and Gerry then have words... the dog again goes over to Lolita and takes another bite. They (the greyhound's owners) don't have it trained. They don't know what they're doing with their dog. People are so mean. They're just trying to milk this." According to New York Police Department officials, no citations were issued in the incident and a complaint has not been filed against the actor. ________________________________________ I remember this clearly. Gerry was walking Lolita by the set of the movie. Lolita is very friendly and wants to play with other dogs. I was told this on the set by one of Gerry's assistants. He told me that she gets very excited when ever a dog is on the tv and she can't understand why TV dog can't come down and play with her. Also when I met Lolita she pranced, up to us, snorting like crazy, and was so friendly. Then when we went into the trailer, she didn't bark but stared up at me and my daughter so alert and was wagging her tail. Gerry then introduced her as the love of his life so that gives you an idea of how much he loves his dog.
As this article said, Lolita wasn't on a leash saw the other dog as a friend and the Greyhound grabbed her like she would a rabbit and Gerry reacted by slamming the bigger dog into a fence to make it drop her If that wasn't bad enough the bigger dog went right after Lolita again. That's likely when Gerry slapped the other dog in the head.
I love dogs...really love dogs. If anyone is a friend of mine on my facebook you will see that most of the time I post something about dogs or cats. I just love animals. I can tell you one thing though if another dog grabbed my dachshund I would not hesitate to do anything necessary to save my dog. I honestly don't blame Gerry. Emotions were high!!!  He should have had Loli on a leash. However these people had their rescue Greyhound for less then a week and didn't know it would be aggressive toward smaller animals. They threatened to sue Gerry but the facts were--
Their dog was basically unhurt. Gerry knocked the wind out of it getting it to drop Lolita but it walked away unscathed. Lolita on the other hand had a good size wound that required immediate attention and stitches. While in the vets office with Lolita it was reported that Gerry picked up the bill for another dog because the family of the dog at the vet couldn't afford treatment. |

www.celebitchy.com/67556/gerard_butler_may_have_slammed_a_dog_into_a_fence/Aug 26 '09 Gerard Butler may have slammed a dog into a fence heigl and butler hotel 2 040809 Gerard Butler may or may not have assaulted a dog. I want to be very cautious when I talk about this, because some people (me) get more worked up about the abuse of animals more than the abuse of people. Just speaking for myself, I tend to think that we get more worked up about animal abuse for two reasons – one, we are a nation of animal lovers, and two, animals can’t speak up for themselves. And, of course, they’re so cute! Puppies! Kittens! Aww… So, here’s the story. Gerard Butler has a dog. She’s a pug named Lolita (no comment, seriously). Gerry was walking Lolita (twitch, twitch) in New York, when an “elderly couple” walking their greyhound came over. Here’s where the story gets sketchy, because there are different versions being bandied about. One version has Gerry slamming the greyhound into a wall for no reason. The other version has Lolita (twitch) being attacked, and Gerry spending four hours at the vet with her: Did Gerard Butler get into a dogfight? The actor was involved in a scuffle with an elderly couple while he was out walking his pug, Lolita, on Monday afternoon. The couple claims Gerard went into a rage when their greyhound named Mayfly touched noses with Lolita. Fred and Maria Varecka say that Gerard flipped out, slammed Mayfly’s head against a fence and shouted, “That dog should be put down!” Gerard’s version of the story, of course, is quite different. According to his manager, Alan Siegel, Lolita was bit on the neck by the Vareckas’ larger, more menacing Mayfly.
“They don’t have it trained. They don’t know what they’re doing with their dog. People are so mean,” Gerard’s manager said, adding that his client spent four hours at an NYC animal hospital waiting for Lolita to be treated and released. “They’re just trying to milk this.”
The Vareckas filed a report with the NYPD against Gerard, but no citations were given.
[From Star Magazine] Uh… well… let’s start with… I don’t even know. I tend to believe Gerry’s version just because I like him, and it’s hard for me to imagine him attacking a dog. That being said, if he did slam a dog into a wall with little to no provocation, it’s going to be a decent-sized controversy. He’s not Michael “I Kill Dogs For Fun” Vick, but the idea of Gerry hurting an animal is enough to lower my libido, and the collective horniness of his decent-sized fanbase. And I didn’t even know he had a dog. Named Lolita (twitch). UPDATE: Uh… Radar has an extensive interview with this “elderly couple” who owned the greyhound, and their story is crazy. They claim Lolita wasn’t on a leash, and she came up to Mayfly and was sniffing him. They claim that Gerry totally freaked out on Mayfly, and on them, cussing them out. Radar’s NYPD source confirmed to Radar Online.com that a complaint for ‘harassment’ had been made against a ‘Gerrod Butler’. Way to get his name right, NYPD. But the NYPD also claims that the case is “closed” so I think that means that no charges will be filed in either case. Here’s what I think might have happened – Lolita was not on her leash, and Mayfly attacked her. There is probably enough blame to go around.

The Truth About Gerard Butler and Dogs 112 Comments By PopEater Staff Posted Aug 26th 2009 02:28PM 000 'The Ugly Truth' star Gerard Butler is barking mad over a scuffle he had with an elderly New York couple - or, more specifically, their dog. The New York Post reports that Butler was walking his tiny pug Lolita when a run-in with a large Greyhound went wrong. Butler claims that he exchanged words with the couple after their large pet bit Lolita twice. The couple, Fred and Maria Varecka of Queens, argue that Butler went ballistic for no apparent reason - they say the two dogs merely touched noses and no biting occurred. Butler was walking his off-leash pooch when the incident began. According to the Vareckas, Butler "went on this rampage, shouting, 'That dog should be put down!'" "I said, 'Your dog should be put on a leash.' He kept on going and going, ranting and raving. . . . He was being verbally abusive." Maria Varecka added, "He smacked the dog in the head. The dog's head went into the fence. I was shaking. The dog yelped. I said, 'Keep your hands off my dog! Why did you hit my dog?' He didn't say a word."

TMZ reports that, after the second bite, Butler put his dog on a leash and began walking away, when the woman followed him. Butler intervened when the Greyhound attempted a third bite. Siegel said Butler spent the next four hours at an Upper East Side veterinary hospital making sure that Lolita was no worse for wear. Reportedly, the pug is safe and healthy. "People are so mean. They're just trying to milk this," Siegel concluded. www.popeater.com/2009/08/26/gerard-butler-dog-fight/ |

Gerard Butler Accused of Punching Man’s Dog SHARE: Adjust text size: Gerard Butler walking his pet pug Lolita Enlarge picture Fans love Gerard Butler. He is considered one of the most down-to-earth celebrities in Hollywood at the moment, aside from reaping praises for being the wonderful thespian that he is. With this in mind and given Butler’s spotless reputation, a report that he hit another person’s dog so hard it went straight into a fence is almost impossible to believe, yet this is precisely what a New York man claims happened the other day, as People magazine can confirm. Butler, it seems, was out walking his pet pug Lolita. Retired banker Fred Vareck was also out walking his dog, a greyhound named Mayfly. When the two dogs crossed paths and touched noses, the actor reportedly flew into a rage for no apparent reason, and punched Mayfly so hard it sent it slamming against a nearby fence. As Vareck watched the whole thing in disbelief, Butler unleashed a series of profanities at him and his dog, saying the animal should be put to sleep, even if it had not attacked or in any way threatened Butler or Lolita. “My dog crashed into a fence before ‘yelping’ in pain. I asked him: ‘What did you hit my dog for?’ But he just kept ranting and raving that our dog should be put down – it was unbelievable because the dogs never came into contact at any time.” Vareck tells the media. A complaint has already been filed, and it’s possible that the man with the greyhound ask for some sort of compensation from the actor. However, this is not what upsets the star the most, as his rep explains for People magazine, but rather the fact that some people would spread this kind of lies to the media just to get an extra buck. Gerard Butler did not attack the dog, he was simply trying to break the two apart, as Mayfly had attacked Lolita and bit her on the neck, for which reason Butler spent four hours at the vet having her stitched up. “A larger greyhound repeatedly attacked Gerard’s small pug, so he separated them to protect both dogs.” the rep says. A source close to the actor also explains for the same mag that he will not respond to the allegations in public in any way because he does not want to fuel the scandal even more. Nevertheless, the fact that there are some who are saying he might actually be capable of hurting a defenseless animal deeply hurts him, the source explains. search.yahoo.com/search?p=greyhound+grabs+gerard+Butlers+dog&ei=UTF-8&fr=moz35 |

Greyhounds were originally bred as hunting dogs to chase hare, foxes, and deer. They can reach speeds of 40 to 45 miles per hour, making them the Ferraris of the dog world. Not surprisingly, Greyhounds made a name for themselves as racing dogs and are still used in racing today. They also participate in many other dog sports, including lure coursing, conformation, obedience, and agility. Beyond their grace and speed, people love them for their sweet, mild nature.

Overview
Whether or not you've seen one in the flesh, you know what a Greyhound looks like. The iconic hound with the aerodynamic build epitomizes speed with his narrow head, long legs, and muscular rear end. We've all seen images of this sprinter, if only through seeing it plastered on the side of a bus, but many of us don't truly know the breed.
One of the most ancient of breeds, Greyhounds probably originated in Egypt and have been prized throughout history. Historic figures who were captivated by this breed include Cleopatra, Queen Elizabeth I of England, and General Custer, who raced his dogs the day before he set off on his fateful trip to Little Big Horn. The patronage of the two queens led to Greyhound racing being dubbed the "Sport of Queens."
Aside from its royal fans, there's a lot to love about the breed. The Greyhound combines a stately appearance with a friendly attitude toward people and other dogs. Loyal and affectionate with his family, he's not aggressive toward strangers, although he will let you know--through a bark or a subtle pricking of his small, folded ears--that someone's approaching your home.
Greyhounds have a reputation for high energy levels, but in reality their favorite pastime is sleeping. Designed as sprinters, not distance runners, they'll be satisfied with a daily walk, although active people find they make good jogging or running partners. In fact, Greyhounds do fine in apartments or homes with small yards--although they need a solid fence to keep them from chasing animals they might see as prey, such as squirrels, rabbits, or trespassing cats.
Regardless of their strong prey drive, there's no doubt that this is a wonderful breed that deserves many belly rubs. Whether you bought your Greyhound from a show breeder or adopted him from the racetrack, you'll find yourself regarding this breed with the same respect that others have given it throughout its long and glorious history.

uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20111103033636AAMT0TLHelp! My sisters Greyhound killed our family cat... We still have 3 small dogs, should it be muzzled? So, my sister rescued a greyhound just after Christmas last year, we've always had cute lil terrier dogs at home but that would have been too conventional for her. She's gotten really obsessed with the dog and joined every greyhound rescue group going - all her facebook statuses relate to animal welfare and animal cruelty etc - that's not a bad thing, everyone in the family loves animals. Anyway, so every single time this greyhound visited my family home it would go crazy trying to get at the family cat - the cat was 12, much loved, they have 3 dogs at home who are crazy crazy but the cat rules roost! Anyway, so generally the greyhound is on a lead but on this occasion she called without having the dog on the lead - the dog shot in to the kitchen where the cat was asleep grabbed her and shook her, threw her up in the air etc. I wasn't there but apparently they stopped her after 3 seconds and the cat seemed ok but was clearly in a lot of pain the next day so we took her to the vet who said she'd a lot of broken ribs, punctured lung, damaged diaphragm and that was before he even took a proper look, he figured a cat of her age wouldn't survive the surgery and treatment it would take to bring her back so we put her to sleep . Obviously we are all devastated, because we've lost our cat but also because of the circumstances surrounding it. My sister feels terrible, yet is being really difficult and now refuses to put a muzzle on the greyhound when it calls to the house. they still have 2 shih-tzu's and a mini yorkie at home - the mini yorkie is less than a year old and I've seen the greyhound play quite rough and almost go for her before. The vet even said that greyhounds should be muzzled around any small animals whether they are dogs are not but my sister said he doesn't know what he's talking about and she's not muzzling her dog I think my parents just want piece of mind that when the dog is there they can relax, because my sister is quite highly strung at the best of times none of us know how to communicate with her on this. She's said she's not going to call over to the family home without her dog, therefore she's not calling over any more and she couldn't possibly put her dog through the discomfort of wearing a muzzle (never mind the cats discomfort). The worst part is she's already made plans to get a second greyhound, she can't even handle one! All of us are just sad we lost our cat but even sadder that she's taken this attitude like we are stupid and we don't know anything about greyhounds so we have no right to ask that the dog wear a muzzle. If anyone knows what the correct thing to do is, please please help as this is turning in to a family feud of sorts

Love that she rescued. They're called "sight hounds" trained to chase a fake rabbit. Some don't get along with cats. Not dog's fault. People to blame. 9 Oct 12, 13:22 [×] [o] Jessie: Every breed has their down side. Her greyhound was fired after 36 races. Rather play than run. 9 Oct 12, 13:21 [×] [o] Jessie: www.fastdogs.org/ Please watch the video. Cannot let this go. My daughter just got her greyhound 2wks ago from this program. Not a sweeter dog. |

 The story that I believe to be true is reported in the links below. The reason that I believe these accounts is not only do they have eye witnesses to the attack, but I also have had personal experience with my small dog being attacked by a much larger dog. I emptied an entire can of pepper spray into the larger dog's mouth before it let go of my dog. The owner, who was very nice and drove us both to the animal hospital, explained that it is in some dog's genetic makeup to attack small animals which to them is a natural thing to do. I did not file a complaint against the dog as it was a family pet (good with his children who loved it) and the owner paid all expenses (which were extensive.) Never again did I walk in that neighborhood until the dog died of natural causes years later. My dog survived severe puncture wounds to her neck and shoulders. Dogs will be dogs and sometimes they fight. It is up to their humans to try to stop them when that happens.....not go to the press and spread rumors. Here are two stories that report that there were witnesses to the scene of Gerry going to the rescue of his dog by separating the two dogs. There are more supportive accounts including a report that the police were laughing and refusing to issue a ticket for swearing. That part I believe, Gerry does swear. What would you do to protect your dog? I finally used my can of pepper spray that I had been carrying for years and it got in my eyes. My Vet had to treat me as well as my dog!  www.dogchannel.com/dog-news/2009/09/11/gerard-butler-in-nyc-dog-row.aspxwww.nzwomansweekly.co.nz/celebrity/hot-gossip/gerard-butler-accused-of-hitting-dog/

To Jhawk and Teepat, Moving the post isn't necessary. The reason I brought it up is that some people seemed to want to discuss this on the black box.... I didn't have time to find that particular thread from 2009 so I decided to do a brief summary.... It also is interesting for new fans to read about.... For Greyhound lovers, I tried to stay neutral in showing the dog equally in a good light and not so good. I think the dogs are beautiful and I am glad so many have stepped forward to help the former race dogs.  Remember, dogs will do what they were bred to do. Greyhounds were used for hunting small (fast) game. Maybe it thought Loli was a fat, juicy, rabbit? Another description of the breed.... As a breed, the next most obvious greyhound characteristic is their obsession with chasing down and snapping the neck of any small creature that your dog may spy. This includes the family cat and it is generally not recommended that greyhounds share a home with a cat or any other prey-like animal that might be your pet such as ferrets, rabbits, gerbils, hamsters, etc. Even specimens that don't seem nearly as interested in chasing small animals will go after them, often when you least expect it. ____________________________________ I love dachshunds which were bred to chase small game into their burrow. If my dog ever spied a rabbit warren those rabbits would be dead.... it is a dachshund's nature.  |

In short what happened is the greyhound attacked Lolita. Gerry successfully saved her. Tempers were high, words were exchanged. The sad thing is the owners of the Greyhound thought they would make a little money off this. Witnesses confirmed that all Gerry was doing was saving his dog. The other people made fools of themselves and dropped whatever charges they thought to file against Gerry.
I am no lawyer, but damn-it I do watch Judge Judy....LOL!!! I feel I have a good grasp on the law. All in all you will be in trouble if your dog misbehaves. No matter what, you are to always have control of your animal. The Greyhound's owners did not... however neither did Gerry because Loli was not on a leash. This case would have been thrown out of court.

The subject came up because some site on the internet or a few sites have brought the topic up recently even though it is old news. This happens all the time and that would be so annoying to me if I were Gerry and of course it comes up NOW. Just like there is a site, I tweeted them once, that tweets "Brandi Glanville hooks up with Gerard butler" almost every bloody day. How can you call yourself a news or even gossip site if all you do is recycle months old years old news, worse you try to pass if off as new news and even worse if you keep posting it every frigging day?
