Such A Brave Lady..

[Patsy33]

When will it ever stop?..
A local single mum taking her beloved dog for his usual walk yesterday, was approached by a man who was also walking a dog. Tried to snatch her dog by pulling on his lead. Woman held onto him for dear life, but not before he punched her in the face , knocked down and dragged along the ground. Bless her, she would not let go of his lead. The man gave up and ran away. She gave police a description. I doubt they'll find him. She did say he had an accent.
She is such a lovely young woman with two daughters. Needless to say, she is very shook up. At least she still has her dog. Terrible for her..

Cowards like this wouldn't be brave enough to steal a larger dog. My two boys were very protective (both part GSD) and the second one (rescue dog) would have gone for the guy.

These thieves are just pure scum. Our dogs and cats are members of our family. The Police should get a K9 to interview suspects.

She did give a brief description, small build, black jacket, khaki hat, wellies, and mentioned the accent.
The dog he had with him was a Staffie on a chain lead. Whether it was his or he stole it, remains to be seen. I'm not sure what breed the woman's dog is.
If I hear anything positive about this, I will let you all know.

I don't have a dog but I would imagine this would be like someone trying to snatch your child. They would have to be very determined to get away with it.
