Agree, suggest he sends the Wild Dogs around to Jools first time she criticises him. She could Tame them, being an expert.

Does that include a police dog.....

As they say.......Two dogs are a pair....Three dogs are a pack. That's nature.

Police dogs are trained to attack people in certain circumstances and when they are ordered to do so, If they were to do it outside those parameters, then yes they should get a bullet.

If you had a child who had been savaged ( god forbid ) or seen some one who had, would you feel any better knowing it was, or had been a police dog, or the owner had said, It's never done anything like this before, or some such rubbish.

A friend of mine was bitten by a police dog at greenhead park when we were about 10. We were petting it and a passing idiot yelled kill in its face. Thankfully the handler was able to drag it back.
There is no need for the dogs to lose their lives if in the future the way they are kept in public is changed.

Fair enough jools, but educating people is sometimes harder than training dogs. I will never understand why people want to own Mastiffs, Pit Bulls, Alsatians etc as pets, they are all capable of killing, and do so from time to time, I have seen a man mauled by a war dog, so my views are more extreme than most. I know that Dogs fill a huge need in some peoples lives and do a very good job in many areas, but I would be very restrictive what breeds were even allowed in the county were it left to me.

Just as a matted of interest Durham, what is the system we use to assure we get, The right dog, in the right environment, with the right owner.

So maybe it was the wrong dog with the wrong owner in the wrong place.

Was the dog being Trainied as an attack dog ?

What led the owner not controlling it /

Why was it in a place it could be dangerous to someone ?

As for how it is policed it is like the way everything is policed in this country when it goes wrong you are subject to the law.


Cars kill over 2000 people every year. Should we ban them. How are they policed /

It's a shame his old team mate Monaghan wasn't around to offer advice regarding the handling of his dogs!
All dogs can be unpredictable and therefore must be treated with caution particularly in public places. Usually the main problem is the owner whether its the typical knuckle dragger with his pitbull or, as in this case, someone who's obviously a bit thick and walking around with 5 dogs none of which was on a lead!!
