OK so the story is that the Staffy rushed out of its house and attacked the 82 yr old lady's dog.

Luckily 2 passers by were eventually able to get the dog off.

Poor lady's in hospital, no word about how her little dog is. Hope they will both be OK.

Owner of staffy said dog has never done it before. I hope they throw the book at this person - if they'd had their dog properly secured then it couldn't have happened.

Happens far too often. There is a video in Yonjuro's post so that anyone who would like to identify the breed type, can actually see the dog.

The number of dog owners who have a fenced property but don't close the gate or who have dogs and no fencing and still let the dog out really grinds my bones. Idiot around the corner had a doberman without a fence :eek: thankfully they have sold up and moved

Hope the lady recovers - incidents like this can really cause ongoing problems of confidence and health for the older members of our community.

Yes - they don't recover from the trauma and it takes years off their lives.
