Davie, a mental health nurse, told the court she was at the hairdressers at the time of the attack, but could not explain
why her husband, Graham, had not tried to intervene.
She said: “My husband phoned me and told me what was happening, and said he was coming to get me because Blue had got out.
“He couldn’t understand how he had got out, we had been told the garden was secure and we believed that to be the case, I did everything in my power to make the garden secure. I took responsibility for him, but nearly 100 per cent of the time my husband would walk him because I have problems with my legs.
“I accept my dog was responsible for the incidents. But when it happened I think my husband felt intimidated by all the noise and the people round about the dog, I actually could not understand why he did not make an attempt to help Blue.”
*speechless*
Mr Davie told the court: “I decided the best person to release the dog would be Pearl and that’s why I left the scene to get her.”
Clearly they put the
wrong wretched useless beast down…
Sentence was deferred until next month for reports.
What reports..?!?

When have gardens ever been secure?

Only if you are trying to deflect the blame for having a dog that has run amok. It wasn't my fault guv someone told me the garden was safe. Simple not my fault I did my best. Pity the dog didn't do the world a favour and turn on its owners.
I'm told the best way to make one of these dogs release its grip is to stick something into its anus. Bangers are very effective (& have an amusing result), but if it's not near fireworks night, try a Biro (or at the last resort, a finger).
Probably works on the owners too.
Tis true Mr Ed. A thumb works as well. Best to make sure that your finger nails are well trimmed. I'm not thinking of the dog here, just the clean up afterward.
"When have gardens ever been secure?"
They can never be 100% secure, 'tis true.
"Pity the dog didn't do the world a favour and turn on its owners."
Quite!

The barrel of a Colt .45?
