I always get the feeling that Orgers are extremely responsible dog owners, but wonder how you would react, and what you would do, if you knew of a dog that was potentially dangerous?
I've just had the dreadful news that my daughter's best pal, who's pregnant, and her two wee girls, aged four and a half and 18 months, were attacked a couple of days ago by a dog here in Edinburgh....just completely out of the blue.
It was a terrifying experience for all three and both girls have puncture wounds -their mum had to try to prise the dog off the older girl who'd been knocked to the ground. :~(
I don't know every detail of how this came to happen- it's now in the hands of the police. For all I know this could have been completely uncharacteristic behaviour on the part of a well trained dog -though it does seem unlikely.
But it started me wondering what I would do if I knew of a dog that seemed to be a possible danger to the public. Before this I think I might have ignored it, but now I would report it....but who to? :confused
What would you do?
