Maybe A Child Would Be Less Credulous?

Mr Chant said the attack, involving a dog believed to be a rottweiler, happened at the Marsh playing fields behind the swimming pool when he was walking his own dog. He had approached the owner of the dog, who was in the children's play park, to ask if he could pet it and the owner, a woman, said it was fine.

Oh oh!

Speaking about the attack, he said: "I put my hand out to stroke the dog and it bit me and as she was trying to pull the dog off me it pulled my hand through the railings.

"There were children in the play park. What if it was a child? It would have been at face height."

Perhaps a child would have been more sensible than to want to pet a large unknown dog or to believe the owner when she said it was fine, though?  

Mr Chant said the woman who had the dog had been in touch with him to apologise.

And the cops? What are they doing?  

The attack took place on the afternoon of Sunday, December 15 and Dorset Police is carrying out an investigation. No arrests have been made at this stage.

Sod all, as usual. But to the comments! 

Dog racism. If I rolled my eyes and harder they'd fall out of my head.
