My dog was attacked on the street.

If she was serious, I would take her kids (both teenagers) and she could get the bus with the dog.

I saw one of my neighbours in pets at home today who had seen me just after the attack. She has just told me that the same dog ran out again a couple of days later and straight over to her daughter who was walking her dog, luckily she was on her guard and picked her dog up in time and no one was hurt.

Hi

Some good news, as some of you know the other dogs owner did offer to pay the bill and I took the bill round and said I needed it by end of the month.

I texted last week and said I was happy to have it in 2 parts, no response. Texted again today, just a quick reminder that the credit card needed paying this week, would she like me to pop round? An hour later she turns up on my door step with half the money, got me to sign the bill that I had reviewed £50. She did come with reinforcements, so I don't know if she thought I would kick off! I did thank her and said see you next week.

Fudge is still very unsure around other dogs and getting better at dog training but still a bit stressed.

Why does the iPad auto correct dog to fog EVERY time?

And yet you still haven't reported it? Are you waiting for a child to be attacked or something?

Myself and Teeg(RIP) were attacked twice by different dogs. The second one was far worse than the first and yes I phoned the police.
It took the police hours to come out, and they did nothing. I was told it was a little scratch and both myself and Teeg were otherwise ok.
Now I dont know about other police forces, but ours dont seem bothered, so whats the point in reporting ? I even said what happens if a child gets attacked? They said well then they could do something.
Ask many folk who has had this happen and I bet many will say the same. xx

New laws have come into place recently regarding dogs being dangerously out of control.

https://www.gov.uk/control-dog-public/overview

1. Overview

It’s against the law to let a dog be dangerously out of control anywhere, eg:

• in a public place
• in a private place (eg a neighbour’s house or garden)
• in the owner’s home

The law applies to all dogs.
Some types of dogs are banned.
Out of control

Your dog is considered dangerously out of control if it:

• injures someone
• makes someone worried that it might injure them

A court could also decide that your dog is dangerously out of control if:

• it injures someone’s animal
• the owner of the animal thinks they could be injured if they tried to stop your dog attacking their animal
