Not Letting This Mutt Have It's 'One Bite'...

A dog has died after being attacked by a Staffordshire bull terrier.

The incident took place on a footpath near Nightingale Road in Pakefield between 2.25pm and 2.55pm on April 8.

I'd imagine owners believe at that time they will be safe to walk their pet without coming into contact with dangerous mutts but not on this occasion.

The Staffy, which was on a lead, bit a cockapoo, also on a lead, when it was being walked along the footpath near the beach.

Officers are asking anyone with any information to contact Suffolk Constabulary quoting the crime reference 37/20460/26.

Odd that the police are taking it seriously, when they usually do all they can to swerve dog-on-dog attacks, but enlightement, as ever, comes from social media below. 

To the comments, where the usual defenders of vicious breeds show up: 

And to Facebook, where the police reaction is somewhat explained by the behaviour of the mutt's owner and the fact it's the THIRD such incident: 

I hope they catch him. Amd shoot his weapon dog in front of him.
