over this dog owner's reaction

[vickibee]

On sat evening DH, me and DS (aged 9) were walking back from our local rail station. My son was skipping and singing on a safe footapth a few yards in front when a staffy ran from its owner and attacked my son. it was growling and showing its teeth, grabbed hold of and shook his trouser leg. The owner shrieked and the dog let go and ran back, the walked up their garden path and went in as if nothing had happened. my son was very upset but there was no actual injury apart from a small brusie. I called after the dog owner and asked why it want on a lead and was to to F* off. Should I report this as apotentially dangerous dog? we know where she lived

Yes I would. If it had been a younger/shorter child it might have been much more serious! I hope your son is ok.

thanks for all the reples, he is completely over it now although he fantasises a bit and told a school frind he was attacked by a giant rottweiler!
The policeman took my statement and is going to liaise with the dog wareden service and talk to the owner about being more responsible for her pet. I hope there are no repercussions as this lady lives one street away from us:(
