[Closed] Aggressive dog going for toddler

mdavids · 2021-11-23T14:46:23Z

Today my partner had to very quickly grab and pick up our 20 month old grandson to get him out the way of a snarling and very aggressive dog. We know the owner, she has a few "issues", we've had words in the past over her dogs aggressive behaviour towards our 2 labs but since then we've been on reasonably friendly terms and manage to avoid each other when out walking our dogs. We know she's had the police at her door about this dog being aggressive with other dogs and have heard she was warned she must keep it on a lead. If that's true it's getting ignored. The police have been informed and are calling us back tomorrow but realistically does anyone know what's the likely outcome? I know it's a running joke that "next time it could be a child's face" but we feel in this instance its actually a very real possibility. It's one thing showing aggression towards other dogs but small children is a whole other ball game.

TBH, I hope the dog warden wakes up the police, and that's the official who calls on the owner. Then leaves with the dog. If she's been told to keep it on a lead, but doesn't then no further last warnings should be given.
