Very worrying subject, but i hope someone would let me know about my dog walker around the general public.


Yesterday morning i was in Peckham Rye park carpark. My dog was on its lead and i was attempting to put her in the car when a large grey/black dog came hurling over. I looked over and saw a dog walker who i have seen many times with around 5 dogs all off lead running through the carpark.


I managed to get my dog into the car and then witnessed a medium sized black fluffy dog jump at the window of a moving car.


The walker did nothing and carried on towards the 1 o'clock club.


As i was leaving the car park, the black dog came running from the old toilet block, straight in front of my car. I stopped the car and called out to the guy that i could have hit his dog. He ignored me and just as i was about to go, the grey/black dog ran from the same area up to the drivers window.


By this stage i was pretty shaken and got out and called to him that i nearly killed 2 dogs because he did not have them on a lead.


He was clearly not going to take responsibility, or even listen to me. All he kept saying was "25 mph".


I sometimes wish my car could do 0 - 100 in less than a second, but in a carpark i think even 25mph is a bit optimistic.


You may know the guy ,italian accent maybe, 40'sh, sometimes walks with another guy with a collie.


Anyway, if you use this walker, beware, dogs should not be allowed to run through carparks , unless you are happy to take responsibilty for their death! :(

    • I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.  
    • In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.
    • There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can. 
    • Like I thought… prob like that for most of the day.. especially after people had walked their dogs, with friends, relatives  kids…
