We had an awful walk this evening

What a horrible evening for Elmo!

Millie got in a ruc with four dogs last weekend and I was kindly informed that it was my fault as my dog was on a lead

I know! And apparently the JR the started the trouble doesn't like it when other dogs are on a lead, so why let it come over to us!!!

Dunno, if this helps but I always carry a walking stick with a metal head.

Have never needed to use it but I hope I wouldn't hesitate if my dogs were attacked. Ok, would be usless against a pit bull but you would need an army for them anyway.

You could at least use it as a break stick, which is pretty much your only option once an APBT grabs a hold of something.

 Just had to say that's one cool photo of your dog playing in water. I recently got a Sony NEX5 so just learning to take decent photos. Can I ask what camera you used and if you edited in Photoshop?

I have only very recently started taking a stick out on a walk with me - a staffie has attacked 3 dogs here in the last fortnight. It literally goes for the throat and tries to inflict as much damage as possible. Never thought I'd ever need to think about using a stick on another dog but as has been said I would not hesitate if that dog flew at Brodie .

Oh, that dog sounds very scary. I hope you and Brodie will be safe

I always carry a stick. I had to "fend "off two JRs today but luckily I know them and was prepared for he onslaught.
I feel sorry for the poor owner who is at her wits end trying to get them to behave BUT that doesn't make you feel any better when your dog is under threatened attack

Thank you - it is not a nice situation to be in, is it. I'm glad to hear Elmo has recovered well from his attack
