Hi. Just to let folks know of an XL Bullydog being ‘walked’ by its owner in this area around 8am. The dog is unleashed and unmuzzled. I’ve reported it to the police. Appreciate they are already struggling to manage this issue but it needs addressing. Today I saw the dog roaming wildly with its unconcerned owner at school run time. I suggest others report if you see it.

Wow.

Roaming wildly in the woods. 
Is there history of this owner being dangerous or out of control?

Dogs can be kept with certification and yes - should be on lead in public places but having an off lead early morning walk in the woods?

It’s supposed to be muzzled AND on a lead in a public place and it wasn’t. That is the law, so she did right reporting it.

Could this be the same dog that attacked another dog a few months ago?   It was reported on here.

What would usually happen in a case like that?

I would have thought if it was an XL Bully and attacked another dog, it would be considered dangerous and be removed from its owner?

Is the system  more complicated?

Yes, but first the police have to find the dog and owner. 

Wasn’t some respected person in the community attacked and subsequently  died by a dog of similar breed a few months ago? Not saying same dog.

Take a photo next time if you can.

All dogs need exercise - lead walking would not be, I think enough for this breed.

I believe the dog(s) in question was/were found and destroyed.

That said, I also think there were a couple of cases in fairly short order; one where another dog was killed, one where a dog was attacked but survived. I remember reading it on here and hearing about it locally in a sort of "friend of a friend" type way but I think the two reports got mixed up with details from (I believe) two cases confused and crossed as often happens in these situations.

Definitely up around Sydenham Woods though.

Can you provide a description/photo of the dog and owner?

To be clear. This dog wasn't in the woods. It was running loose along the pavement on Crescent Wood Road close to the entrance to the Woods. Either way, as others have said, this breed ought to be on lead and muzzled in any public areas. Looking to try and excuse these behaviours is not helpful.

Thanks. I bumped up the other thread and saw that it was reported that the dogs had been seized, but owner had not been traced.

    • DD, "Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃" At least the economy and unemployment weren't in the mess they are now. What is it, give the public sector a whopping pay increase with no strings attached, double the black hole and then blame it on the last Govt. Give me strength. Rachel from accounts shouldn't be anywhere near the economy. The final straw was increasing employer NI contributions and look how that's worked out. Month on month both inflation and unemployment have risen. Won't be long before inflation and u/e are exceeding 5%, but guess what, They'll blame Sunak and go.  Lets have a snap election right NOW, then see how poorly Starmer, Reeves and Rainer do. They're already plotting to get rid of Starmer, and if you think its bad now, you ain't seen nothing yet. Oh and did I mention Starmer wanting to stop Freedom of Speech............................................Normal people can see right through what him and co are doing, great at spending other peoples money, him and co don't have = bankruptcy. We'll just repeat the economic collapse that happened in Greece and wasn't it in Italy as well?
    • One of the best of Shakespeare 's plays.  I did Othello for A level. Also seen a number of stage and film versions. Is there any specific aspects of the play that is difficult for your daughter to understand?  
    • @Sue think this is your quote.  It wasn't binary, good Vs bad, and Corbyn had a lot of popular support, as evidenced by the previous election. He had aot of good policies, some picked up by others since. He was defeated by a mixture of a right wing press,good targeting the Johnson 'Get Brexit Done" and for some that Johnson was a funny loveable rogue/fool/liar/philander/opportunist.  I wouldn't see choosing the perceived least worst candidate out of the two major parties as being "good sense'.  We imagine that Corbyn would have been terrible, but we don't know.  He would have taken a stronger line against Israel in Gaza, not sucked up to Trump nut on Russia?  Would the UK be better for that?
    • We have had 4 greyhounds - the last one, a bitch, was not speyed so we  had to pay for that at our local vet.  Only one dog was nervous around children and only one was cat friendly.
