<p>Yesterday Arthur, six months old,met a terrier who was a bit aggressive towards him a few weeks ago because Arthur had not read the signals that Archie was giving off.Arthur saw him yesterday at the far side of the field we were in.Archie,the terrier, was not interested but Arthur decided that it was a good idea to leave the field and head homewards,By the time I had started to call him Fred had run to him and gently shepherded him back to me.I was astounded!</p>

<p><strong>Benson was attacked by a pack of labs when he was 10 months old and from that point on he was wary. They pinned him down and one owner said it was their way to put him in his place! She then complained to me that everytime she walks past our gate with her dogs, Benson barks at them. I told her I wasn't surprised that he now reacts in this way.</strong></p>
<p><strong>He's not keen on black dogs, particulary labs, but gets on with many breeds of dogs.</strong></p>

<p>I'm actually now waiting for 2 knee replacements and, as such, I have days when I'm struggling to walk Hen anyway...my hubby has just said that he is going to come out with us whilst my arthritis is bad, just so we've got some protection as it were, that puts my mind at rest a bit.</p>

<p>I was walking my three yesterday,had got them all to sit and stay before we crossed the road and suddenly all hell let loose.One of the hooded yob variety was cycling up the road with an enormous bull terrier on a rope.</p>
<p>I recognised the dog as the one that attacked Fred (It is a Pit Bull x American Bull Dog) and he was ferociously trying to get to us.The yob fell off his bike but managed to cling on to the dog.I beat a hasty retreat!</p>

shocking story. We live in Sydney and have a new dog parks and some off lease areas. Yes I agree it is the owners who don't keep their dogs on the lead who are the problem. There is one thing I hate and that is owners who think their dog is o.k. off the lead and will do no long. I keep Molly wrapped in cottom wool too. Maybe I am over protective but I hate leaving her when I have to go out. She sometmes goes to doggie day care. When she goes for walks we keep a close eye. I hope your dog…

<p>Dear Sheree .. I am also very sorry to see these horrible photos of Henry and I also understand how you feel. I wrap my English Setters up in cotton wool as well because they mean so much to me. We have the same problem over here in Australia.

<p>Dear Sheree .. I am also very sorry to see these horrible photos of Henry and I also understand how you feel. I wrap my English Setters up in cotton wool as well because they mean so much to me. We have the same problem over here in Australia. The average human being in Australian society now is rude and selfish and not accountable for their behaviour and this is passed onto their dogs in many cases. The dogs are not to blame. The humans are entirely to blame. We do not frequent the popular off-leash dog parks very often anymore and when we do, I try to go at times when there are not too many dogs. Rose is frail now and she has been knocked over one too many times by an out of control dog. There are an abundance of walking tracks along the various rivers and canals, etc., not specifically for dogs, and these seem to be better. The dogs love walking in different places. They do not mind whether they are on leash or off leash. They love to go out, be with me, enjoy the admiration of people, and I suppose because they have each other, they are not really fussed anymore about meeting other dogs. We live on 5 acres with lots of bird life but I will not allow them to run around the property unless I am right beside them to supervise them. I am certain all Henry needs in his life is you and you are providing him with excellent exercise. Best wishes from Susan and her Orange Belton Brigade. Thank you for your kind comments about them.</p>
