last thoughts - dog attack

[ericyork]

just a few last thoughts and feelings on this issue. I realise fully that the vast majority of this breed, are friendly and well adjusted. however the fact still remains that they all have the potential to cause real damage, most dogs can be stopped before serious injury is incurred. I tried everything to get this dog off and it all failed. Also it has been sugested that a stick in, in the right place, might do the trick, but this would run the risk of the dog attacking the human. I have read up on dog attacks on the internet and the it seems that the most effective way to halt an attack, is to use a canine pepper spray, called Muzzle, widely avaliable around the world, but alas not legal in the UK - In fact there is nothing on the market in this country, to protect our dogs and ourselves. Calling the police etc does not stop these awful attacks and injuries, it is too late. There are far too many simple minded people keeping these dogs and I don't blame the dogs, it is the owners. but it still leaves us unprotected and living in London, we can't always avoid them. As for myself, I intend to protect myself in future and bugger the law in the UK
