The Canine Equivalent Of 'Darkly Tanned'..?

Kirsten said she had left Budgens at around 2.20pm and was walking back home with her shopping. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a dog on a rope suddenly jump out.

What type? 

She described the dog as Labrador-size, muscular, with short hair. She said it was pale beige with white patches.

Hmmm... 

Kirsten, who has a dog of her own, described herself as a "dog person" who has never experienced a situation like this before.

"Maybe the owner needs some help with training, or there are groups that can support her, but something has to be done," she said.

When you end up with soft tissue damage, a wrenched shoulder and nerve damage there's only one thing to be done.

The Metropolitan Police confirmed officers were called at 3.26pm yesterday and have made an appointment to speak to the victim.

A spokesperson said no arrests have been made and enquiries continue.

How reassuring...
