Scary incident still trying to get my head round it.
Dog walk with my 2 dogs, lab and heinz 57 rescue, along riverside path. Man and a woman with a dog each ahead, man has a husky, woman has a huge dog, looks like a rottie but with a longer coat. Both pulling on their leads and barking.
I put my bouncy friendly lab on lead and move onto the river bank to give them space, my other dog is in the bushes with his ball and never takes any notice of dogs we meet on walks so I leave him.
Huge dog suddenly runs towards us dragging the woman off her feet, seems to go on for ages as she keeps hanging on, then eventually has to let go.
Dog runs up to my lab and sinks its teeth into his ear, lab yelps and whimpers. My other dog is there instantly, growling and nipping at the the dog's heels.
Dog runs back to man and my brave dog goes off to find his ball. Lab's ear is bleeding a bit but otherwise seems fine.
Woman still lying on ground, says her hip hurts and she can't stand up, a cyclist stops and shouts abuse at her, "Stupid bitch , not fit to own a dog, could have killed a child, etc". Both man and woman respond with foul language while I beat a hasty retreat with my dogs.
Feel quite shell shocked, I keep thinking that dog could have killed my lab if it'd been just him and me.
