Dangerous Husky

[Heart108]

I have just heard the following on good authority:

In October last year a local person spent 3 days in hospital and had hand surgery after being bitten by a Malamute husky dog called 'Marlow' that is regular at Peckham Park.

Since then the police had assured the person this dog would be muzzled and on a lead when it is out in Peckham Park, however the same person just encountered the owner 2 mornings running with the dog roaming free and unmuzzled. And the owner when challenged by the person who shouted abuse.

Everyone should be very wary of this animal, who is transitioning from pup to full grown male and has the body power and jaws of a wolf.

Today I heard in the park from another dog owner that a husky was wandering around lost in the park close to the traffic and a teenage boy had tried to help find the owner.

I've no idea if these two huskys are connected but certainly be on the lookout.

This was reported on here on 9 October 2017 by Teacher12, whose wife this happened to. Would be useful t9 have a description of the dog and owner.

If the police have given information about this then they must have details of the dog's owner.

If the dog is supposed to be muzzled but isn't, then surely this should be reported to the police, who can take the appropriate action?

Before somebody else is hurt?

Particularly if the dog's owner is being abusive.

The owner may be in breach od Dangerous Dog's Act Section 3. This should be reported to police.
