when i lived in ossy years ago and my mum used to live up the merlin drive area and i lived close to fielding lane i had to walk up by the flats towards merlin from stonebridge lane and there used to be a mongrel outside one of the flats and it was the most vicious nasty tempered dog ive ever come across even to the extent i stopped walking to my mums , I was aware it had bitten before but never gave it a thought till one day it went for me when i had my son with me , my so was so frightened and watched in horror as it bit my leg . When i got to my mums i reported the dog and all the owner was told were to keep it inside or tied up ...she never did.. until it bit a child and only then was it put down (i think)but it dissapeared ..but it took months after it bit me till something was done and that was only because a child were involved ..but like i say it was years ago and laws have changed but my point is this wasnt classed as a dangerous dog, it was just a ..what most would call a family mixed breed dog .. but non the less still very dangerous and capable of doing damage ..thankfully to me only a small bite on the leg and from what i rem to the child not too serious but even so it attacked and any dog who attacks or even threatens to attack should be dealt with immediately no matter what breed ..

I have a dog myself and it knows its place . even with the kids it knows they are incharge and what they say goes and he is a lovely family pet very loyal ,loving and devoted but i still would not leave him alone in a room with a toddler
