i will tell you something which really p'ed me off, reading this thread just reminded me of this.

my sister walks her bully everyday in the meodows and many many people walk there with there other dogs, apart from the very rare odd 1 there is never ever no horrible dogs over there, they all play together nice.

anyways my sister told me this story about a month ago.
my sisters mates neighbour own a scatty red staffy girly, thy walk her over the same field every day, but that day this old boy was walking his dogs, lab cross or something, anyways the staffy and this dog started playing and after a few mins into play the other dog went for the staffy and the staffy retaliated back and with that the old boy panicked and tryed to pull them apart.
he got accidently bit doing this.
the police was called and they read the dangerous dog act out to the staffy owner and she has got to go court for this.
it was the other dog that started but the staffy got the blame.

alot of people know this old boy and this dog and said it always starts but people saying that meant nothing.
all the police was interested in was what happened then
ill let u all know how she gets on coz the court case is soon.
