My Sheltie was attacked by a husky in Dulwich Park on Monday 27 April at 9.30am by Queen Mary Gate. The husky wasn't on a lead, and just ran over and started mauling and biting my dog. My dog was literally screaming. My dog is now covered in bruises and bites, constantly shakes from the pain, and is completely traumatised by the whole affair. The vet said she knows of the husky, and knows that the owner can't control it. The owner laughed it off at first, and said that her husky was only playing. Having a dog in your mouth is not playing. The vet has prescribed painkillers and antibiotics. If you're walking a small dog in the park, be wary of this husky. It's owner simply cannot control it.

Inform the police and tell them they can get more info from the vet, surely no vet worth their reputation would withhold information regarding a violent dog?

So sorry to see this, your sheltie looks as though it has sustained puncture wounds. You should try to find out if the owner of the husky is insured. I would be pursuing the owner to cover your vet fees as well as money to cover any other support you and your dog may need in future.


To correct one comment on here, there is little correlation between attacks on other dogs by dogs and on children. One does not lead to the other. The greatest danger to people/children is if they try to break up a dog fight. The overwhelming number of dog bites to children take place in the home and are generally the consequence of lack of supervision of dog and child where the child unwittingly irritates, frightens or hurts the dog.


This is not to say that a dog cannot injure a child by trying to play roughly or jumping on them in excitement, and skin can be broken by sharp nails or a tooth, by accident, and is obviously not acceptable. However, this is not the same as what is described and shown by the sheltie owner, where there are puncture wounds. This is not play in any sense of the word and the owner of this dog should be reported and will have to be instructed to keep the dog under control.

The Husky owner needs to watch for their dog hassling another dog that can actually handle itself, dishing IT it's own injuries.

Sounds like husky needs to be kept on-lead, especially now during restrictions where we don't want close contact (pulling dogs apart, checking at wounds) between owners and dogs due to infection risk.

Hi,

Thanks for all the messages. I have reported the matter to Southwark Council (and I've had a call from Ciro De Lucia) and to the police (and I should receive a follow up email soon).

I met one of the witnesses this morning and he knows the owner. She's called Hilary. The Husky is about 10 or 11 months old and is new to the family. Does anyone know who the owner is, please?

I don't know whether the dog had black bits around the eyes, sorry. It was so chaotic and I was so upset about my dog.

In fact, it was the witness who pulled the Husky off my dog. I was unable to get the Husky off, nor could I get my dog out from underneath it. The owner didn't help and I'm so grateful there was a strong guy present to control the Husky. He said he would talk to the owner, but I need to know the dog will either be muzzled or always on a lead.

This is a young, strong, untrained Husky that attacks dogs.

    • 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
