My poor gentle Dolly has just been bitten by a feffing dog that came under a gate out at her! We have passed there many times and the dog just flys up and down the fence line and the gateway. I have often thought that it looks like it could get under the gate or over the fence. Well it did, and hung on to her back leg, I leapt off and tried to whip it away with my crop, then it let go and hung on to her tail - eventually I managed to chase it back under the gate. She didnt even kick out at the little shite, I wish she had before it bit her it!
Owner came running out to apologise and where we both Ok etc...I said not her fault I was just shocked because I didnt expect it to come under the gate and do a full on attack. Anyway Dolly limped for a few paces but it is only a small nip and have washed it thoroughly and put antiseptic on it just in case. Another neighbour has told me she KNOWS it escapes and it has bitten before, attacked other dogs and bitten a dog walker!!!! FFS! I wish Dolly had stamped on it and killed it, sorry but although I am an animal lover I believe a dog like that should be PTS, sooner rather than later.
Oh and when I leapt off I was standing a good way from Dolly and the saddle and my Hit Air didn't go off it all just stretched down to me...I guess the lanyard is too long - any ideas how short it should be?
