Again it comes back to my previous threads on this subject, since I strongly believe that in order to avert situations like this, ALL dogs should be kept on leads in public places.

That's it, to be fair to these dogs were definitely not aggressive to people they were actually weary of me as they circled to find an opening to attack Duke.
I was told by the dog wardens all dogs have to be on a leash even if you are stood at your gate (I assume open gate) talking to someone. Not sure if that's the case for everywhere or just Leeds. Trouble is owners like him are not familiar with the dog laws and ignorance appears to be and acceptable excuse.
I was fired up this morning with the response I got, to attempt a test case it could set a precedent but dog on dog and as they put it not a dangerous breed type it could be throw out of court and I would be well out of pocket.
It is tempting just the same.
