| A warning - on Wednesday this week at about 9.15pm I was walking with my daughter around Southfield Park. Near the tennis courts we came across a group of about 4 dogs with a female, middle-aged dog-walker. The dogs were mainly small ones but one was a brown-coloured, knee-height (I think) British bulldog. The dogs were agitated for some reason and the bulldog ended up attacking me with no provocation, jumping on me and biting my arm. The dog walker did nothing for about 30 seconds, and then grabbed the dog's harness to pull it off me. I walked away, but about a minute later, the dog chased me near the playground - it still had not been put on a lead! I had cuts to my hand which drew some blood, so I've had to take antibiotics in case of infection. I'm a dog lover who grew up with dogs, but this incident has left me rattled - my daughter was also distressed. Watch out for this dog. It doesn't look a dangerous breed, but if it attacked me as a 6ft adult male, what would it do to a child? |
