Here's my take and advice on the incident.

1. Sparklieboots brings his/her dog for a walk and keeps the dog on a lead and has control over the animal.

2. Sparklieboots sees another dog and his/her dog tries to befriend the dog.

3. Another dog again carries out a savage attack on Sparklieboots dog causing serious wounds and Vet-care costs not to mention trauma.

4. Sparklieboots is the innocent victim of an uncaring dog owner who apparently couldn't give a whit about Sparklieboots, Sparklieboot's dog or anybody else. The uncaring dog owners won't even supply a simple mesh to prevent such occurence. 

5. Sparklieboots fails to contact the uncaring dog owner. Understandable, because if one enters the property it is likely that the terrier will attack again causing more injuries or worse. 

6. There are laws in Andalucia concerning dogs and dog owners. It is obvious that the terrier was not under full control of its owner. No mesh was visible and the muzzle obviously wasn't fitted properly.

7. What if . . . . Sparklieboots had his grandchild with him and the grandchild was attacked by the terrier? I bet Sparklieboots wouldn't be a bit happy explaining to the parents of the child that the dog was merely protecting his territory and a lesson learnt in the process. 

8. Sparklieboots feels that this is not the first attack carried out by the terrier and probably has no reason to believe that such an attack will not happen again. If I were Sparklieboots, I would contact the local policia either in person, by email or by letter and supply details of the incident, time and place etc. I bet the policia local will investigate the matter and bring the whole episode to  a conclusion. Failure to contact the policia (in my opinion) would ensure that further attacks by the terrier will take place. I don't see much point in contacting the uncaring dog owner.

That is sound advice Matthew.Police can’t act if they are not informed ,bad enough for a animal if it were a child,needs sorting.

Thats Good advice Jen Jen, usually an amicable word is all it takes. I personally wouldn;t involve the police at this stage, it was a very unfortunate incident very upsetting for the sparklieboots and her dog. But it could be a one off, to make the owner aware is the way to go.

Have a good evening ...

That's a fair enough comment peter,but no parent in they're right mind would let a child put its arm through a gate with any unknown to them dog on the other side!!

If spaklieboots wanted the police involved I'm sure she is more than capable of doing so herself.

I do agree that I word should at least be had with the owner though,perhaps even amicably before calling the police...

Yes l for one would point out to the owner firstly,that maybe mesh up the gate could be a solution.

And you still haven't got it right Matthew, There was NO muzzle involved. when sparklieboots said 'he thrust his muzzle thru the gate' she meant the dogs nose, The terrier in question was not muzzled!!!!!!!

If I have got this wrong sparklieboots please correct me.
