How Hard Can It Be...?

Heidi White’s sharpei dog Elsa nearly had her windpipe ripped out by the large white pit bull which was running loose in Gibbons Recreation Ground, in Wembley, in front of a playing field of schoolchildren last Friday.

Her four-year-old pet managed to escape, but was then chased by the larger dog to her home in Bridge Road, which backs onto the park.

Usual vicious, uncontrollable animal. And his dog.

“I was screaming at his owner but he just waved a stick at me.” She said Elsa managed to wriggle free from under the dog.

She added: “I thought that was it but then the man let his dog off the lead and the pit bull chased her all the way to our house.”

Naturally, the police have been about as useless as we've come to expect, despite the chap being in the vicinity.

Since the attack Ms White said the pit bull owner has knocked on the door when only her 11-year-old son was home, who she told to call the police.

She said: “I don’t know what he wants. He did nothing during the attacks except wave a stick at me and members of the public trying to help me.”

Are they even concerned that there's been an attempt to intimidate the victim?

A police spokesman said: “Officers attended and were informed by the complainant that a dog had attacked her dog whilst walking in the park. The owner of the second dog had left the scene prior to arrival. Enquiries continue to trace the man.”

Gosh, I do hope they don't find themselves in the same situation their Stratford colleagues did, when they ignored reports of a vicious dog....
