See page 2.
‘Owner suffers significant injuries’
On Thursday, South Yorkshire police officers were alerted to a dog attack in Stocksbridge, Sheffield. The force said: “We received a call reporting an XL Bully attacking another dog on Labernum Grove in Sheffield. It is believed the dog escaped from its home and attacked an innocent dog being walked along the street.” “The owner attempted to intervene, and suffered significant
injuries, requiring hospital treatment.” Dog Legislation Officer PC Paul Jameson said: “We’re continuing to see an increase in incidents involving dogs being out of control, or causing fear, and without action, and we fear it is only a matter of time until we experience another fatality within South Yorkshire. “We’re urging dog owners of all breeds to up their efforts in keeping everyone safe. Please stop
thinking ‘my dog wouldn’t do that’, ‘my dog wouldn’t bite my child’. This can happen to anyone. “During this month, we have already seen several children requiring hospital treatment for attacks by their own family pets, innocent dog walkers being left with serious injuries by loose dogs and officers suffering injury during their response.” Police dog interaction advice see page 11.
