Please be careful walking through Dawson Heights near Donkey Alley. There is a dog there. Could be staffy. It just went for me. My son is calling the police 

 

Update. Son has moved dog to Dunstan's Rd and police are on their way.

Further update. Police now on scene. Dog went for them so they're calling in a special dog unit. My son suspects that this poor dog has been badly treated because it had marks on It's face. Also, it was exercising its jaws on a swing rope when my son found it so clearly trained to be aggressive .Not an expert on dog breads but it did have a big head. Might be a banned breed.

Poor thing. We were just about to go up there - I would have done sooner if I'd seen your message in time.

I'd have called the vet.

It MIGHT be a banned breed - however, ANY dog is likely to be very frightened if he's been abandoned - don't assume that it's a dangerous dog.

Staffy's are NOT dangerous.

Just been up and taken the dog water and food - he's much calmer now.

Such a beauty. Looks more like a boxer from a distance.

Some people are just awful - I can't imagine every abandoning a dog. 

The police there are very nice too, so hopefully it will all end well.

Perhaps this thread could be used as a cautionary tale not to jump to conclusions....

'Abandoned dangerous dog, bred to be aggressive, badly treated, and potentially a banned breed' turns out to be  'lost dog, with an owner looking for it, which is just (understandably) scared'.

It is easy to jump to conclusions….. we are all humans.  I’m not offended. I’m happy police was called, I would be in too many pieces knowing Milo was stolen and used for  breading. 
Milo and I are having worst few days since this year started.  Thank you all once again.  Milo lives in Havant with me, he was staying with friends for the week in Dulwich.  Not everyone is responsible with dogs.

Unfortunately with bull breeds people are very judgemental, glad you’ve got him back nice and safe 🙂. You could tell he’s well looked after and in great shape.

      But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?

      ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."

      Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops

      You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
