tbh, he should have picked his dog up very quickly as soon as he spotted the other dog!

Easy to be wise after the event

I always avoid other dogs when walking my little pooch, whether on or off lead. You never know which dog is safe or not.

We’ve had a few episodes with large dogs ‘wanting to play’ . No Thankyou.

I thought these dogs had to be certified as 'safe' by a vet and always muzzled when out.

Maybe he, TPB, should have picked his dog up, possibly he didn't think fast enough or realise the danger until he was in that moment. Imo the onus should be on the owner of this breed he/she must have had some insight into its behaviour. Muzzled! The owner is culpable they should be prosecuted, a dog of that nature is not safe.

Victim blaming!

He should be able to walk his dog without having to worry about these out of control vicious breeds.

A few years ago elder son’s mother in law was walking two little Pomeranians in a London park. One of those dreadful dogs leapt over a wall and savaged one dog and killed the other. It also badly bit the m in law’s legs. The owner was taken to court and fined but never paid up. The remaining little dog was never the same again and was left with a badly damaged jaw.

In my local area we had a recent incident in the park where a Pomeranian tied to a pushchair was torn apart by a bully dog. The Police not interested so nothing appears to have been done about this.

I have distanced myself from a family member due to them having an XL Bully. I feel bad and sad, but I do not think they should be in family homes with children. Thank goodness my AC have more sensible dog choices.

Apparently the dog is soft and silly…

Yes I saw the headline, shocking! Obviously not as shocking as a dog attacking a human. Smaller dogs are nevertheless vulnerable to these huge aggressive beasts, are they even legal? Should have been muzzled. Owners have to fork out astronomical vets fees when their pets are savaged by such an uncontrollable animal, the owners often walk off without offering any assistance.
