Comment on Scottish Dog Owners Have Been Sold Out Over new Dangerous Dogs Proposal by Sharon
My pet dog (a greyhound – retired racer) was this week viciously attacked by my neighbour’s new staffy. Their spontaneous remorse expired when I suggested they pay the vet bills, at which point they tried to say it as normal behaviour, bitches never get on, etc etc. As they would not take responsibility I have reported the incident to the police.
The attack took place on our shared driveway, so I understand from what you say that tis is not a public place. Is there anything the police can do? I’m not so concerned about them paying for the vet bill, though that would be the “right” thing to do. But I am concerned that they take measures to prevent it happening – such as keeping their dog on a lead or muzzled when on ours shared space (mine was on a lead – we were walking through it, theirs was not). I am concerned as we both have young children, and mine was there at the time – what if they had been attacked?
I’d really appreciate your response – thank you!
