It’s rare that dogs fight off the lead .

I didn't know that. I knew they had to keep their dog "under control" in a public area (traffic, kids etc) but as anyone knows, no dog is ever 100% in your control

I agree but I had a bit of a surprise this afternoon. I was strolling down the Rig and I met three people with their dogs. No leads. One of them decided to have a barking fest at Max.
A collie at that. Max is a gentleman.

There would be bits of dog napper from Brighton to Inverness..
Oh, he’s just so adorable!

This looks OK and might delay a thief long enough to prevent them.

Dageus and I were in the park a week ago and he was chasing his ball, This Staffie type dog came out of nowhere and attacked him, went straight for his throat and as Dageus had a mouthfull of ball he was unable to respond. I was near enough to stop it before it got bad and I grabbed the Staffies back legs and raised then high and he could no longer fight. It was several minutes before his owner sauntered into view and started to have a go at me for hurting her dog. WELL, you can imagine what followed from me. I none too politely told her what I thought of her, she shouldn't be in charge of a dog, how did she expect to control it when it was out of her sight, she needed to go to training classes. ect ect. People had gathered by now and it seems this happens quite often, that made me even more furious. I quickly took a photo of her and another of her dog and told her I was reporting her to the Police, the Dog Warden, and the Council. I also told her it was going on Facebook so people could be warned about her. I didn't put it Facebook it was just a treat. But I really hope she gets herself and her dog sorted out.
One thing did bother me though, she put it on it's lead but the dog dug it's heels in and would not go with her, she had to drag it????? Why???? Very strange.
