cackleberry Dec 2024 3:31pm, 27 Dec 2024 4,407 posts	0 cackleberry Still limping this morning so we've been to the vets. She dragged me down the corridor and jumped all over the vet. "Would you believe she has a sore foot?" I asked him. Anyway, he is not concerned that she has done anything serious, so pain relief and two weeks rest. Oh dear, my house is going to get trashed, pointers don't do 'rest'. (Mr Potato Head was in the bin before the end of Christmas Day btw.)

Helegant Dec 2024 10:38pm, 27 Dec 2024 7,601 posts	0 Helegant Checking in to say that Jet has recovered his bounce, and that we are now back to a sensible level of meds for a bewildered, blind, deaf and arthritic older dog. The puncture wounds are healing well. I hadn't realised that we are quite well known until people I thought were strangers stopped me in the street to ask about his health. Today we visited Wrest Park (didn't go in, too crowded, Narnia thing going on) and heard 'How is your dog now?" called across the grass. The dog that attacked Jet has a 6 year history of attacks on other dogs - three that I know were reported to the police, and at least one other that wasn't. The police took over and asked me not to contact the owner. Private messages I've received suggest that would be a wise approach anyway. We've been taking Jet out of the house and he is quite happy to carefully approach humans that he likes, and has had some positive encounters with other friendly dogs. He's temporarily crashed out asleep but will wake in an hour to start pacing the house - situation normal.

The dog was 'dangerously out of control' if you also were in fear that you might be attacked/bitten (I am not sure what the law is regarding attack on another dog - it previously wasn't something they would usually bring a charge over - but if as a person you thought you might also be attacked at the time then it is still dangerously out of control, it doesn't actually have to bite you to press a charge against the owner.)

It's bad enough that this dog is allowed to wander around out of any control but the fact that there have been several attacks now it really shouldn't be allowed to continue.
