I was having a picnic in Dulwich park today with some mums and babies and three dogs attacked our picnic and ate our food. The 'professional' dog walker who was supposedly in charge of them apologised, but did virtually nothing to stop them (except shouting, which set one of the kids off crying). After they had finally left us alone, yet another, unrealted dog came over and nicked a scotch egg. What the hell is going on? Do people not use leads anymore. Should I have my picnics in Catford in future?

No not for a scotch egg, but they do have to be insured. I'd look out for said dog walker and have a word with her/him- They may work for a larger company. It is their responsibility to keep dogs in their charge under control. They should have seen that a group of you were sitting together and avoided you- totally their fault in my view.


Plus those of us who are responsible dog owners get miffed when incidents like this ratchet up anti-dog feeling. I've noticed more people proffering their services as dog walkers recently and one does have to wonder if some of them are properly qualified or even know much about dogs.

    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in my posts, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
