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.

      Inpost "Parcel was refused" at Barry's - anyone else?

      By ianr · Posted

      I'm glad that Barry's have posted.  Their mention of the merger soon led me to (a) bushy-tailed  PR guff about the new member joining the inpost 'family' and promising a bright happy world of lockers etc ahead. and (b) clear signs that the same problems related here seem to have been current and widespread even three months ago.  That's just from looking at one thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/vinted/comments/1nlv3u2/yodelinpost_merger_issues/

      Do we still get 50+ outdoor community events per year? All the ones round here seem to have been cancelled, like the Christmas Cracker and the summer equivalent and the Small Business Saturday event etc.  Even on the Southwark Presents page the only events in East Dulwich in the foreseeable future are non-council events organised by other people. https://www.southwark.gov.uk/southwark-presents?event_price=All&localgov_event_locality[0]=239&date_min=&date_max=&search=&page=2

      @CPR DaveWe are talking about Lambeth Council, not Southwark, but I agree. It will be interesting to see if Lambeth fill part of that space with another hire out to a private events company.  As to the idea that what is gained financially from hiring out Peckham Rye Park is a good trade off, does not account for long-term damage to the park and the loss of access to the community for a month at least, in the best summer months where trees and shrubs are in full bloom and animals are birthing or rearing youngsters. For the Council to claim they are 'green' when they allow this is hypocrisy at its finest. @Northern Star Thanks, so they say. I'd love to see a list of these high quality free events and what they entail. I am not aware of any high quality free events in and around ED. Stand to be corrected though. Crikey, seems like they cannot even let Lordship Lane have Christmas lights this year.
