Unfortunately, I've been experiencing a rise in dog attacks as I go about my business, either directed at me or my dogs.
Today, a dog rushed across the road towards me in classic attack posture, but just before it could get to my leg, I was able to give it a good hard slap to the side of the head, enough to make it re-think its actions.
I think it's worth mentioning the law:
Basically, "It’s against the law to let a dog be dangerously out of control anywhere", and the penalties are severe.
Interestingly, a dog doesn't have to actually bite you for an offence to have been committed, you only have to be worried that the dog might bite.
Keep yourselves and your doggies safe, people.
