Re: New Dog laws
Sallyanne, a story has just broke this morning on our local news, telling how a child and her pony have been badly bitten by a Staffie in our local woods!
It appears that its owner was nowhere in sight, and the dog was totally out of control. He bit the pony, which in turn threw off the rider. He stopped briefly to attack the little girl before chasing after the pony. Thankfully the pony was caught and the girl suffered concussion and a nasty bite. The police are appealing for any witnesses!
Just before Christmas one of our clients dogs was badly mauled by a GSD cross, and had to receive emergency treatment. The owner did settle the vet bill, but still walks with his dog off lead.
In late summer last year I was walking a Bassett Hound when a small black dog flew out of nowhere, again with no owner in sight and preceded to attack poor Muttley, taking a small chunk out of his ear.
Would you like me to go on?
