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.

Sorry your local MP and dog warden were not much help @Chris75_ .
I think I need to be 100 percent sure i am going to commit myself to a dog
Yes Id love one
At the moment its a dream .
Sometimes waiting a little why is a good thing
As the saying goes Good things come to those what wait

One day it will all make sense
Why the doors closed
Why they didnt stayv
Why your plans fell apart
Right before the breakthrough
It wasnt punishment it was protection
It was rejection
It was redirection
Every delay
Every detour was devine timing
You didnt miss it
Your not behind it
Your being guided step by step
To where your always meant to be
So keep walking
Keep trusting
The path was never random
It was written
Im not sure what i think of this but i can bet we can all resonate with it

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.

You really did have alot to deal with on that day
It is a very stressful situation to deal .
The dog owner who dog attacked mine said it was my dog too
I know for sure it wasnt my dog she wasnt like that
Someone let the dog out and it just went straight for mine over nothing @Chris75_

It keeps us from getting bored!
Off the topic slightly, but someone with a St Bernard, yes a St Bernard, they only walk their dog about 300 yards into my wee crescent. They have been observed by me and others goggling at their phone whilst dog huffs and puffs, leaving something unpleasant on the pavement. They don't pick it up, even if caught red handed.
The council can't do anything without video evidence, typical.
It is no joke to run a powerchair or scooter through such a pile. Especially when said vehicle has to be kept indoors!

You're not a waste of space at all @Strawberry1 and you're always welcome here whether you're feeling good, bad or somewhere in between.
You have to deal with a lot yourself and you still make time to be kind to other members which is lovely. I know how much everyone really appreciates your support and you deserve some kindness back. Whatever you're dealing with, you're never pathetic to us 💛

I know for sure i have poor mental health
I know for sure im not always good at dealing with things
If i could have one wish it would be to be stronger .
I may not fit certain criterias for things in the big wide world
But i know how much I struggle
Im the one who deals with me day in day out .
My birth mothers mental health was very poor and i think genetics have played a part in why i am like i am .
The Dwp can say what they want but they dont know me
If they did then maybe they would be a little bit more understanding ( who am I kidding ) .
They say what goes around comes around but they always come out on top whatever our situation is .
Rant over

edit: Not worth it, the DWP Don't deserve being spoken about.

Im sorry things have and are the way they are for you too @Nightcity .
My heart goes out to you .
People should not be made to feel as they do when it comes to dealing with those people .
Its heartbreaking to hear
Im glad you have your mum .
Im thinking of giving them a call .
So hopefully i may be feeling a little bit stronger in fighting my case
Thank you for chatting to me about this subject
Your input and support is appreciated more than you will ever know
