This is Angus

a dog so friendly most people think he is still a puppy at first glance although he's nearly 5 yrs old.





I took him to vet yesterday as a precaution because he didn't seem to have been too badly hurt in the attack but he was definitely very depressed. Just as well I did as the vet shaved off about a 6x4 section of his fur to reveal all these horrible marks. The Vet said if I hadn't of gone in we would have ended up with one very sick dog.

Yesterday, Gordon and I were still buzzing about the attack, it just seem so unbelievable. We are now anxiously scanning the streets to see if we had see these dogs. We suspect they are actually family pets which got lose as I remember seeing them last summer running lose.

The Police have been brilliant, taking pictures of Gordon's bites and Angus's neck. They are just as anxious to get this dog as we are, as it so near the Park and lots of kids. I was going to say'

if 'but when they get the dog, we are going to press charges. They asked if we would mind pressing charges and we replied of course we would press charges if we can!


Me, today, the swelling is going down and the bruise is is going to that multi tone look. God! I look old! My hair wet not greasy by the way.

Poor Angus....I am glad you had him seen too...and gosh your face looks really bad....that must hurt. Yes press charges. People should not be allowed to let vicious dogs out.

Dongs like that do not belong in the community, but the Dogs are not to blame. The owners are because they do know what these dogs will do by their nature. Still, arrangements need to be made to get them out of the community and if they have not doen anything bad enought to be put down...all these sorts of Dogs have to be by law desexed here in NSW Australia so they can not breed.

An old lady was about a year back slaughtered by a pair of these pit bull shits in her own vegetable garden.
