On Sunday 1st February, a local resident in The Creek, and the owner of two dogs, has reported a completely unprovoked attack by what appears to be a breed similar to, and of the same colouring, as the American bull dog (pictured).
The dog came hurtling out of its house after the door had been left ajar and set upon both the resident's dogs, flattening the smaller of the two, a docile little schnauzer, before sinking its teeth into the schnauzer's back, thigh and stomach. Thankfully the owner came straight out and, with a lot of effort, managed to pull the dog off.
Had it not been for this intervention the local resident is certain the attack would ultimately have resulted in the death of her little dog.
Local enquiries reveal that this snarling muscular dog has been spotted frequently in the past and is known to have roamed freely in peoples back gardens, the Bathing Station field and on Wheatley's Ait.
The attack has been reported to the police (Crime number 45150008889) and is being investigated. This notice is intended to alert local residents whilst awaiting the outcome of police enquiries.
