Not really sure what to do about this. If anyone has any advice, I would very much appreciate it.
We live in a terraced house and share the path to the back of the house with our neighbours.
On Friday morning, my DP left for work. As he was walking down the path, our neighbours dog ran up to him and bit him on the back of his thigh. It wasn't a terrible bite,but it broke the skin.
The dog is a Staffie cross (don't know what breed she is crossed with though)
Our neighbours were very upset about this. She has never bitten anyone before, but has been aggressive with men she doesn't know.
They got her from a rescue centre and wonder if her previous owner was cruel to her.
The thing is, we have 3 sons. The youngest is 7. This dog has given us no concern as far as the boys are concerned. The neighbours also have a 10 yr old son.
What I would like to ask any experienced dog owners is whether they think this dog is likely to do this sort of thing again?
Is there a strong possibility it could attack a child?
We haven't reported this and hadn't planned to, but the more I think about this, the more it's bothering me.
thanks,
