My Weimaraner female sustained severe injuries in Belair Park yesterday afternoon around lunchtime following an altercation with a dark grey male staffie/ pitbull type dog. An older lady in a dark hooded jacket was walking him and she said it was her daughter?s dog. Initially she claimed he was a good boy and never fought however a few minutes later she confessed that she had her hand bitten the previous week as he had been fighting with a husky.


She was accompanied by another older lady who was walking what looked like a fairly young Rhodesian Ridgeback. Initially the Ridgeback chased my other dog, a six month old pup over to the trees and I was just returning from rescuing her when it kicked off. Her dog sustained zero injuries and at the time I didn?t realise the extent of my dog?s harm. I saw her bleeding and I just wanted to get out of there and to the vet. As I was crossing into the other side of Belair I came across two women who each had dogs and told them to put their dogs on the lead. As I did this it started to become apparent the extent of my dog?s injuries and so I asked one of the ladies to hold my dogs as I wanted to go back to let her know that it was serious..


Shockingly enough the dog was off the lead and running around. My anger got the better of me and I told her to lead the dog whilst making her aware of the injuries sustained by my dog. Clearly this woman is not fit to deal with such a temperamental and aggressive dog and as it wasn?t the first time it had been involved in an altercation I feel it is my duty to make everyone else aware of the situation and hopefully to ensure that this dog is at very least muzzled/ lead-walked going forward.


My dog has just come out of surgery and has a 30cm stitches wound going from the top of her back to her tummy. She is in a great deal of pain and discomfort and whilst getting the best of care and round the clock attention, it?s so traumatising to have to watch her suffer in this way. She is almost nine years old and has never been in a fight in her life.


Whilst not trying to start a witch hunt, we would be very much obliged if anyone who may know of this lady and her dog to contact me via private message in order to begin official proceedings to ensure the same thing doesn?t happen to anyone else!


Sadly I don?t have any pictures of her as I was too shocked at the time.

Thanks

The previous attacks reported here were by a white staffie.

    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
