I saw this guy and his dogs back in summer when I was walking my puppy - they must weigh 20 lbs each and no collar or lead. If it is same guy, then these dogs were brown, in good condition and cross breeds I think. Big at any rate. He doesn't seem to care a monkey - did make me think twice about walking at night down quiet roads. no idea where he lives, but will certainly be keeping to main roads in view of this - although, not sure that it would make much difference given the speed cars fly down main roads these days - would give me peace of mind when walking my young pup. Haven't seen him out at parks during the day and I walk at different times in different parks. Police are too busy. Regarding vets fees, normal - just think if one didn't have NHS and all they do for free.. New hip privately is circa ?8,000 as an example. Then there is aftercare, physio, removal os stiches, more apts so really ?10k.! and that is assuming no complications....
