At the time, in order not to cause disharmony and give the owner the benefit of the doubt, I didn't report the incident to council but spoke with the owner myself who was very apologetic - I walked away thinking that the matter was resolved and the dog would be secured (he lifts the gate latch with his snout).
It put fear into me though, and I now walk on the opposite side of the street, particularly when walking my little dog. I glance across to see if the brick (apparently the solution) which they put against the gate is there.
The last couple of weeks it hasn't been and I've been feeling trepidation when walking past so of course today when walking with my dog the bloody thing flew out and tried to go me again.
I shrieked, picked up my dog and a handy big stick and flailed it wildly at the dog - the owner called it back which is when I said "When are you going to secure this dog??!!"
He crapped on about the dog seeming to have a dislike of me/my dog .. .. it turned into a shouting match when I said your dog has already bitten me!! Does it have to happen again?? It's your responsibility, secure the gate it can't be that hard!!!
He responded by shouting Look I'm trying to be nice here and explain! Ahhh, go away!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGHH!!
Jerk!! Serene is now on a mission, hello ranger
Why do people not take responsibility for their animals and how many times must these things be reported as had already happened prior to that poor man being savaged by those three dogs just the other day
