Hi all. This actually happened on Monday 19th Nov at approx 9.10am. Apparently, she was walking along in the rain and 2 men attacked from behind hitting and kicking her and her dog:X As Huggers said her dog bit one of them and they ran off. As far as I know it wasn't reported to the police, but I informed the park managers on finding this out yesterday morning. If I found out who this lady is, I will try to get her to report it.


All I know is that they were 2 black men, thats it for now. Hope she and her dog are ok

I worry about this a bit, because even though my big staff-mix looks scary, he's a bit of a coward and runs at the first sign of trouble so I'd have to fight them on my own!


It already happened with our puppy, we managed to get him back after a week, and we are still really protective of him now. It is a pretty upsetting thing having your pet stolen especially if they are staff type dogs because they often take them to use in dog fights or for breeding farms.

You're right to worry, but so are all the non staffie type dog owners. In training dogs for fighting, the scum that do it will use any type of dog for training purposes, ie bait, so as to lessen the risk of injury to thier dogs in the earlier stages of training.

Neutering your dog eliminates the breeding issue!

Make sure your dog is Microchipped too. (Won't stop the theft, but may help get the dog back if found elsewhere).

From what I've heard dog fighting is taking place in lifts in tower blocks nowadays. Owners put two dogs together in a lift on ground floor and send the lift to the top and see which one survives by the 17th floor... pretty gruesome stuff. And when you hear about American Football stars who have nothing better to do than organize fights and breed fighting dogs ... it just adds some bizarre cache to the activity I guess.

    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA! 
    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
