I was walking through GG on Sunday and noticed a light brown staffie (not 100% sure on the breed) running wild with its owner yelling obscentities at the dog from a distance away...e.g. "f**king come here". I've seen this before including the dog knocking my own lightweight dog off its feet and standing over it with neck hairs raised. Fortunately I don't think the dog is that vicious but clearly the owner has zero control and if it did attack person or animal then it would take some stopping.


The dog made a run towards a kid walking his small dog and then run around them, poor thing probably wanted to play but clearly the kid (& dog) were concerned.


The woman finally gets the dog and then beats it on its head for a good while and then just lets it go again. The dog goes to the other side of the park near the bus stop and does a sizeable number 2.


A minute or so later I stopped by the woman and asked if she realised her dog fouled the park. She says ...and i quote ..."yeah I don't f**king pick up sh*t in this f88king park do I". I had a small baby with me so decided she was beyond help and walked away. Clearly this woman should not have a dog and will continue to foul a park that responsible dog owners and children frequent.


I will report this to the council but given this goes beyond fouling I also want to issue a warning to steer clear if you see a tan coloured staffie with a raving lunatic owner yelling after it.


The woman was probably 5'10" with dark hair and an extremely aggressive demeanour. Really hope that the dog is somehow removed from her possession and put with a loving family as it would probably be a fabulous dog. Until then beware.

The fact that this dog simply allowed itself to be beaten over the head by the woman is proof of a good baseline temperament. However, if you were trying to turn a dog human-aggressive I can think of no better way to start. Poor dog!


I's also be slightly concerned about the dog standing over another dog with its hackles up- if this is what you meant by its neck hair being raised- this can sometimes, though not always, be a prelude to the other dog getting a pasting.


Sounds like this woman is totally unsuitable for dog ownership and the rest of us suffer, most of all the dog!

I am dog-sitting for a week or so over Easter. The dog is a staffie, technically 'bluue' is the colour but sort of looks light brownish. With heels on, I'm about 5'9/10 and I have dark hair. However, I do pick up the dog poo, don't swear at or hit the dog. But, just in case you see me at a distance and assume I'm the other one, thought I'd better point it out so don't get prepared for an argument straight off! You'd soon realise anyway - the dog I'm looking after has a tendency to roll on his back and wait for someone to tickle his tummy or, in other cases when small dogs freak him out, he has been known to physically jump into the arms of whoever is looking after him for safety...

I live opposite goose green and walk my dog there daily- I think I have seen this woman- she parks up at the end of the road and tries to contain her dog to one corner of the park- the other day she had a go at me for letting my dog in near her dog then gave her own dog a bollocking for wanting to play with my dog. Quite aggressive play. She had absolutely no authority over her dog.


What amazes me most though, is that is not a young dog (about 4 at a guess) so if she has had him since a pup, how on earth has she got away with her behavior this long? For starters, there are from time to time plain clothed sh*t police from the council fining owners who don't clear up after their dogs.

I think it's a bit dangerous to be discussing somone in this way in a public forum. It can lead to mistaken identity and also the woman concerned probably isn't even aware. This is a matter that can be reported to Southwarks Warden Service. They can issue fines to anyone who does not pick up their pets excrement. It's best to leave it to them to address.

Oh come on. The original post is hardly a call to arms is it now

If you witnessed her behavior, trust me, you wouldn't confront her! She's as wide as she is tall and could easily eat me for breakfast. I was only torn by the fact that I doubt she could care less if she was paid a visit by whichever authority- I don't even know who I would report her to. She's just a foul mouthed inconsiderate pet owner. Which I doubt is illegal?

you could make a welfare complaint to the RSPCA if you have actually witnessed the woman hitting the dog. What do you have to lose?


Slims I think you have missed the point of a forum. The original OP and others have pointed out that a person is mistreating a dog and being aggressive towards people....nothing wrong with that at all.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
