This is just a warning for park users. Last Wednesday my wife and a friend were walking their dogs in the park when our dog (on a lead) was aggressed by a husky (not on a lead). My wife and her friend asked the owner to put the husky on the lead but she didn't. As they went to leave the park, the dog attacked (for the third time) our dog knocking my wife to the ground and inadvertently biting her hand. The husky owner left the park without leaving her details. My wife spent two days in hospital and has received multiple stitches to her right hand. We have informed the police but without the owners details there's little they can do. Whereas my wife is now unlikely to use the park for walking our dogs again - I have no doubt that the husky owner would have no such compunction.

Sorry to hear about this - very scary. Just for context there are

Several very calm huskies in Peckham rye park who pose no threat at all.

I do hope your wife revisits soon as this sounds like a horrible but

unusual occurrence- and dreadful for the dogs too. What time did this jasper?

Best regards and speedy recovery

I recognise the description of the dog concerned. It is an unusually large husky cross - the female owner told me it is not quite a year old. It is closer in size to a Great Dane than the normal husky size. The owner is young and slight and struggles to control it on the lead as it is very strong. On the whole, it is not an aggressive dog, but young and untrained.


I speak as a dog owner (I have two dogs). Training is vital if you are a dog owner.


She did walk it regularly in Peckham Park in the morning , coming in through the entrance at Forest Hill Road by the crosswalk. No idea where she lives, but perhaps someone might recognise this description.

No idea if this is the same dog - looked like a large Malamute. Yesterday in Peckham Rye he came bounding over to our dogs and started to jump all over my fiends older dog, who has severe arthritis. She asked the owner to call her dog off but the dog was intent on playing, so my friend had to pull the dog off and hand it back his owner. She could hardly handle the dog at all, there was no apology and she let it off minutes later and it ran off to do the same to another dog. He was most certainly young and playful rather than dangerous, but definitely not under control.

    • I haven't had a rude EVRI delivery but last week I had an unexpected delivery at 10.42 pm. He didn't ring the bell or knock on the door (or rattle the letter flap) but just took a photo and put the box down.  If it hadnt been for the door camera giving us a beep we would never have known there was a parcel ready to sit there all night.  
    • Sorry if I’m being slow but there’s no point in having a gate then is there?  Would have thought it was basic manners to respect someone’s property 
    • I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open. 
    • I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.
