DOG MAULING: Sunday 7 March, 15:45 RAVENSCOURT PARK
Yesterday at 15:45pm, one of my two small, white dogs was viciously attacked by another dog in the large dog exercise area at the north end of the park (near Ladybird nursery at the Goldhawk Road exit.)There were 3 adults: 2 men and 1 woman. The woman appeared to be the owner (she was yelling at the dog as it ran after my dog as soon as we entered the dog area, clearly knowing it was dangerous) and she was thin, white, with long rather straight dark hair. Her dog was black, appeared similar to an Alsatian but smaller and more narrow, perhaps because it was a puppy or another breed/mixed breed. The dog had a long pointy snout and pointy ears. The woman was with two men, one probably in his 40s, another maybe a bit younger and with a hefty white bulldog-type dog, who was not involved in the attack.The attack was quite brutal, with my dog being approximately the size of the black dog's head. Immediately after the attack, the owner of the white bulldog said, "We've got witnesses. Your dog attacked this one." Clearly, this guy had been in enough trouble in his life to invent a liability-avoiding lie on the spot in the moment of attack. Crazy. The older man took the black dog and RAN OUT OF THE PARK, taking the back exit, and turned left onto Goldhawk Road. The woman, other man, and white dog quickly waled away refusing to give any details and escapaing as quickly as possible. I told her I wanted her details and she looked away and said it was not hers. I think she was lying. The man actually shouted at me that he hoped my dog dies. He was quite rough looking, a thug type. He and the woman crossed the zebra crossing outside of the park exit and turned west, walking west along the north side of Goldhawk Road.I had to take my dog to the emergency vet, and we are not sure he will survive the mauling. I won't go into that any further because I am distraught. But I am also angry. Angry that these people, very rough, and probably regular visitors to the park, acted as they did, lied immediately showing they are at the ready to not take any responsibility for their actions, ran away like COWARDS, and mocked my dog as it was in my arms, severly injured. I am tired ot chavs pushing all of us around, and there were many people around during this loud debacle. Certainly, someone saw something. If so, please contact me with urgency. Or ask around to any families you know who might have been in the area. I had to get to the vet and did not get any witness names. But there were plenty, and I am asking you to speak up.I would like to say I am shocked, but I am not. I have called the police and park police and am looking into CCTV and a private detective. BUT I NEED HELP: IF ANYONE WITNESSED THIS OR THE PEOPLE RUNNING FROM THE PARK YESTERDAY AT 15:45-15:55 AT THE GOLDHAWK ROAD EXIT TO RAVENSCOURT PARK, PLEASE CONTACT ME. Thank You.
