Yet another dog attack

Wouldn't like to go in the yard up there

There is a woman who walks two huge mastiffs on the playing fields near me. They gave me a scare earlier this year when one appeared to spot me and make a beeline until it turned back just before running across the road when she shouted it. A couple of weeks ago I saw her again on my way home from work in the morning with a child approx 7 years old holding the lead of one while she had the other. They may well be tame but all dogs have the pack instinct and it's true to say I could feel my legs wobble until they werevwell out of sight. It's the fact that you know you wouldn't stand a chance if they turned on you that's so frightening. The little girl never stood a chance poor thing.

Yep i think that would probably be a mistake frank , i think one of them has bitten someone before when it got out ,not 100% sure about that though.

The picture in the paper this morning showing the dog with the girl is a completely different dog than the one showed on BBC news this evening - I think the dog in the picture was a French Mastiff but the one on TV was a French Bulldog??????????????
