the dog warden was aware of the attack, a few people from the area helped free Bob from the dogs jaws,and as far as i know they contacted the dog warden. however our local dog warden says dog on dog fights are nature????
the owners of the other dog took my sister to the vets and left her there, i do know the dog has escaped and killed a local cat in the past too. as for putting the dog down im not sure that would be for the best, i do know that some dogs have dog aggression and do understand that that is nature and dont feel that if the dog is friendly towards people that the dog deserves to die, however the owners need something doing as its their fault there dog was out without a lead,their fault they are not capable of keeping her under controll, i just wish there was someway of getting the owners to take responsability for their dog. its so hard...
i will give our local police a call tomorrow and see where she stands, i just feel that if the owners cant look after their dog then they should maybe have it removed and placed in a home who can controll and understand such a large dog.
and yes its worrying us all at the moment as like mentioned what if it gets a child next time...thats why i feel something has to be done.
