Members of the public captured a bulldog which was trying to bite the legs of two police horses while they were out on patrol in London. Metropolitan police horses Yvonne and Snaffles were being ridden by officers when the out-of-control canine began nipping at their legs.
We’ve been here before, of course.
The incident in Shepherd’s Bush Green, west London, on Monday morning was captured on the body-worn camera of one of the police riders. The footage shows 13-year-old Yvonne moving in circles to escape the dog, which ran back and forth between the horses as the owner struggled to get it under control. The bystanders eventually stepped in to seize the dog, which was then returned to its owner.
Why? It should have been seized and the owner arrested!
Investigations are under way and no arrests have been made.
Sadly so typical of the timid way the Met seem to now approach dangerous dog incidents, scared of the reaction from the barmy dog-lovers…

Yvonne and Snaffles? I hope those names aren't reflection of the horse's character, though more likely to be that of our modern police. How about some good old warhorse names like Iron Hoof or Stomper?
There's probably a panel approving all names to ensure no-one could be offended. 'Black Beauty' is probably right out!
