Hi all, hoping for some advice for a situation that I hope I never find myself in! There has been a few local media stories recently regarding dogs both on and off lead being attacked by uncontrolled dogs in public spaces, and now I'm unnerved, because, truthfully, I wouldn't know what to do! I have two dogs who I let off lead, their recall is good, and we happily keep ourselves to ourselves when out, but they also love friendly canine company. But what do you do in the situation of them being attacked? In the reports the owner dropped the lead hoping her dog would run, but is this what you should do? Run where? And what about my other dog? Should i drop their lead too? I don't think my dogs would run, they are devoted to each other, and I think they would stay by me expecting me to protect them. What should I do??
