Yes, But So Did The Owner...

The man, who also owns a dog with his partner, said: "We just heard the shots and then saw all the commotion with all the police.

He said he had seen videos of the dog when it was out before the incident happened and said it 'didn't seem like a crazy dog' to him.

He added: "I just can't help but think - did it really need to be shot?"

Let's ask the woman and teenager it put in hospital, and the small dog it attacked. Oh wait, you can't, it killed it.

Thankfully, not everyone's priorities are skewed:  

Another resident, who also didn't wish to be named, said: "Obviously I feel dreadful for the lady who owned the little dog. You just can't imagine what she must be feeling."

I don't suppose she's feeling any safer now... 

Police have now confirmed that the man arrested has since been released on conditional bail as enquiries continue.

He's probably already bought another four-legged weapon.
