Right back at you.

Sorry to hear about the dog attack, my previous Staffy got attacked and badly injured in 2014, it was quite a job to get other dog to stop. A bucket of cold water worked in the end.

The thing with bull breeds, is that every cross with a muscular build gets named in the press as 'Staffy like'. This one that attacked Dino was a mean looking thing, maybe a cross between a mastiff and a staffy?

The man with the dog was powerless to stop the attack. Twice the lead was ripped out his hands, and it resumed the attack, even when i has picked my dog up ( couldn't do that now).

I ended up on the ground, doing all i could to stop any tearing as it hung on. The owner of the café came with a bucket of water in the end. I can still see him waving a greasy spatula, telling the man he was banned from his café. Both the other man and i were actually eating al fresco and chatting from separate tables.

I contacted my MP, but he was worse than useless. As were the dog wardens.

Scores of stitches, and i was in the local paper. I contacted them as the other guy denied responsibility, said poo wee Dino started it ( His large dog didn't have a scratch, and the man claimed Dino bit him, when in fact he tore a finger trying to get his dog to let go).

CCTV partial footage, i had 3 independent witnesses, it did no good. Dog wardens gave us both a warning letter, MP was totally useless. I should have seen my MSP, who is far more effective, can't remember why i didn't.
