Dog attacks - Everybody I seem to meet has had a problem with their dog being attacked by an owner who cant control their dog/s or wont take any responsbility. Even on sunday a terrier went for Monty and the owner just walked off. It is difficult to collect any details about the person but really every dog attack should be reported to the DOG WARDEN and then they can start to build up a picture of what is happening. Even if you have very few details PLEASE STILL REPORT TO T...HE DOG WARDEN!!!!! PLEASE SHARE THIS WITH EVERYBODY YOU KNOW WHO HAS A DOG OR KNOWS SOMEBODY THAT HAS A DOG..........
1. So try and get details from the person. Ask around the village or walk and see what you can find out about them (that is how I found the owners of the collie that nearly killed Hardy). When you start talking to people they can know the person or dog or know of others that it has attacked.
2. Try and take a photo of the person/dog - I know this isnt always easy but it is evidence
3. Try to get a registration number, car make and colour - this is how I knew who had attacked my friend's dog (Barney) as their car had a company logo on it
4. Try to take names of people who are witnesses or names of the people that you are told have had their dogs attacked
5. Be specific on location, date and time - the dog warden says this means that the area can be patrolled to catch the dog walker
6. Take pictures of all injuries and keep vets bills
Who to report dog bites to:
1. If a dog bites you contact the police but also contact the police if you know that a dog has attacked multiple times. They may not be interested but push it and least it is on record.
2. Always report to the dog warden and keep telling everybody to do the same - people are getting away with murder (literally!!) because people either don't know what to do or they dont think they have enough info or they don't think it will do any good - YES IT WILL!!
3. I have talked to the RSPCA about this. The RSPCA were very kind and went out to visit an owner that had attacked a previous dog but now they dont really have the resources. However, they did advise me that if it was a serious attack or you know of multiple attacks ring their cruelty line to see if there is anything they can do
