ATENTION-Unfortunately I would like to inform something terrible that happened this afternoon at Dulwich park. The person might step away for a while from this park so I think people around should be warned. This ladies pictured were in Dulwich park this afternoon with two white Staffordshires out of the lead. When I passed by one of them started to run in the direction of other dog out of the lead. The owner of the Staffordshire called him but he didn't obey. He suddenly attacked the other animal, bitten all his write side face and stayed there holding while the dog attacked tried to push his face away in deep pain. All people around tried to split the dogs, the owner of the dog attacked was even bitten in his hand by the white dog. I said to the owner of the attacker to open her animal's mouth and she just screams ' my dog was attacked', unbelievable. After around 6 minutes the dogs were finally release and the attacked dog with serious injuries bleeding in quite serious way. The police was called and while waiting, this ladies started to step away slowly and suddenly they were leaving the park gate in Dulwich village way. We went to call them and the older lady with the blue rain proof said she is a lawyer and that is nobody business, and that she wouldn't stay there and wouldn't give her details either. One of the park staff said she goes usually to dulwich park with her dog out of the lead. She might go to other ones for now after this. She is around 50 ' s , blonde and curled hair. I would just like to warn people that go to parks in this area because this lady simply runned away from her responsability saying even that nobody saw properly what happened, till I told her that I saw it all and she knows I did.

I'm pleased to see that you have taken the advice of others on Facebook and have posted on here. Apparently there are witnesses and a report has been submitted.

It was good to read that the other dog is ok.

I hope the person responsible comes forward.

Unfortunately there are many people that are irresponsible with their dogs no matter the breed.If you own a dog you will know their behaviour very well so you have to make sure that you keep it under control at all times. I own a staffy and although he is not aggressive and he is friendly with most dogs he will not back down from a fight if provoked therefore he is always on a 15 m lead.Knowing his power and the damage it can do to another dog I never risk letting him of lead.

It is horrible that people don't take responsibility of their dog.

With regards to the attack:Never put your hands on the dos mouth trying to open it,there is no chance to open a locked jaw that way.

Lift the dogs back legs up and have someone pull the collar up the neck and twist it.I know it sounds bad but chocking it a bit makes it release quicker.If it still doesn't work you will have to put a stick or a finger up the dogs bum and that will definitely make it release.

Try to keep the other dog as still as possible as it's movement will make the staffy hold on to it even longer.

I had to break up 2 staffies and the finger method was the only thing that worked.

Make sure that someone is holding the dog by the collar and keeps the dog up as once they realese they will try to get the dog again.

Sorry for such a long post!I hope my advice helps a bit and I do hope no one will have to do this.

Please remember always try to get the dog that is attacking and do not pick your own dog up.

Thank you so much for posting this and the picture and I am sure they will be found and held accountable for their actions! Horrible human beings shouldn't be allowed to own a dog+

Jambirre - please can I use your photo of the woman and her dogs to go on some posters to put up locally? We met with police today following an attack on my dog yesterday and they are taking it very seriously after numerous incidents. We have a crime reference (7962 6/12) and if anyone sees her they should call 101 and quote this. The police will attend and confiscate her dog immediately under the dangerous dogs act.

    • I've used just about all the locally available supermarkets for deliveries over the years, and I now  use Waitrose for deliveries, for various reasons. They have a good range of the things I eat, their food is good quality and their "essentials" range is generally good value (except the tissues, which suddenly became so thin as to disintegrate immediately. I was mainly buying them for the nice plain boxes, so now I just put other tissues into the old Waitrose boxes 🤣) It is very rare for something I've ordered to not be available on the day. Their delivery drivers  are genuinely friendly and helpful. Their customer service is very good. On the rare occasions I've had issues, they have refunded me without quibbling. They often have special deals on some of the things I buy often, so I stock up when they are cheaper. I do occasionally compare prices with other supermarkets, and overall I really don't think Waitrose is more expensive, but obviously they might be for things I don't personally buy. I absolutely hate Sainsbury's, would use Lidl for some things but they don't deliver, Iceland has a very small range of things I eat, and I can't remember why I don't use Tesco or Asda any more. I recently checked out Ocado because there was some offer which seemed good value, but they just didn't have enough things I wanted to buy to make it worth using the offer. M&S don't deliver ( to the best of my knowledge) but in any case they seem to be still badly suffering from the recent hack into their system. Apologies, I have just remembered this thread is about shopping at actual physical stores, but probably many of the issues are the same.
    • Since I am of a certain vintage now, not sure if what I am going to suggest is even still around but here goes… use to be able to buy “dummy/mock papers on line and also had mini synopsis of Shakespeare plays specifically covering students wanting to gain a better understanding of play before taking mocks/ exams. Only know this as many many moons ago, struggled with English Literature and Language and this was the avenue-my parents went down. Also was at this point in my life, educated abroad as part of my fathers job.  
    • Love your comment about “shoehorned” - put a smile on my face..! As for comment about “Little Waitrose” ummmm - never really thought about it. Personally, could not care less. But guess Sainsbury Local and Tesco Express are to you more acceptable.. Ultimately, when I think about it, I actually don’t care what they call themselves - been lured by partially branding and partially convenience and what they offer in groceries.
