Hi,


My other half and I were having a drink in the Herne tavern around 3pm today when a disturbance occured next door. The owner/manager and one of the bar staff were running in and out calling the police. The manager looked really shaken as did a few of those drinking. The police and ambulance arrived really quickly, tho I'm not sure the ambulance was needed as it left quite quickly.


Does anyone know what happened?

Apparently the disused well out in the garden was opened up today after for the first time in over a century to reveal the gaping maw of hells very bowels. A particularly heavy demon going by the name of Cilgarth puked sulphurous bile into the eye...oh, I cant be bothered. It was nasty anyway.

Yes, it was a dog mauling.


I was at the computer in the back of my flat (opposite the site of the attack) and heard screaming but assumed it was the kids next door/passersby. When my partner and I eventually stirred ourselves to have a look (at least a minute later), we saw a poor woman crouched on the road clutching a toddler into her with a Staffordshire Bull Terrier mauling the kid. I went in to shout to my partner and call the emergency services, my partern went and got a weapon to beat the dog off (a broomstick) and we went back out with me on the phone to emergeny services. The dog was still mauling the kid and the motehr was still screaming. I spoke to the emergency services and tons of people piled out to beat off the dog. Someone used a hoover, a broomstick, feet, but the dog hung on..Eventually a neighbour ripped the kid off the dog and ran with her into a neighbouring flat and the dog went away. It was so muscly and aggressive and it would not be beaten off. Scary. I called for the police as did lots of other neighbours and several cars arrived, as did an ambulance. Apparently the Staffy had attacked my neighbours' kdis in teh morning and another three girls earlier, so it was aggressive. Anyway, the kid seemed ok but very, very pale and the owners strangely unconcerned about their out-of-control "fighting" dog that they choose to inflict on the neighbourhood. Police had put us down as witnesses for Dangerous Dogs trial

My god, that's shocking, what a scary thing to have happen (and it must have been pretty horrendous to witness). I can't believe the dog is still allowed to walk around, by all accounts it will do the same thing again. Very worrying given the number of kids in the area and the proximity to the park.

Thats awful. Everyone involved must've been so distressed.

I can't believe the dog is still around. I agree with Pickle that the dog will attack again. If its attacked that many children it should be destroyed.

I'm a big dog fan but I don't trust the bull terriers, tho I know they're not all like that.

I wonder will the police press charges....

I was under the impression that any dog that bit a person was put down, there should be no question about this one.


It's not much help now, but throwing a coat over the head of a dog is recommended for splitting up fighting dogs; hitting them doesn't work and may only make things worse, doing that may well work in this situation also and is a useful tip.

I think I would let two fighting dogs fight, it would leave the world a safer place if they ate each other.

I would certainly feel nervous getting close enough to throw a cover over their heads.

I always hope when I see these dogs and their keepers, that they will turn and maul their handlers, I live in hopes.

    • One gentleman who kept the boards up to date with community notices i.e. local residents' association events, East Dulwich Community Centre, sadly died a few years ago. He never had the keys to the NX Rd board as this was outside his ward (now known as Dulwich Hill). The council changed the locks on the boards and we do not know who was given the keys. The gentleman's widow carries on with posting community notices but only on the odd couple of boards whose locks have been broken and she can lift the cover. If I remember correctly, it was the Lib. Dem councillors in ED that initiated the boards.
    • Thanks, that’s very sensible advice  and I’ll most likely follow it. I shouldn’t need anything from them, and if anything, they may end up needing me as they’re likely to go first. Really appreciate your support.
    • Hi Jason - we had very difficult neighbours at some stage. Differently so from yours - aggressive, drinking fairly heavily etc… I tried to accommodate their many demands (and their huge dog who howled all day and used our garden as his toilet) until one day, I just started ghosting them. Cut off contact entirely, blocked their mobile phone number, ignored them when they tried to speak to me. I point blank refused to deal with them, including when they needed my signature to extend the lease to secure their new mortgage, which really panicked them. This proved highly effective and they moved soon after (after I made them sweat to sign the freehold docs they needed) I don’t know if you want to do the same if there is a personality disorder involved. But if you do, make sure all your paperwork is in order and there’s absolutely nothing you need from them.  I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s really unpleasant.
