Attack terrifies dog's owner


A dog was taken to a vet bloodied and sullen after it was attacked by a bull terrier under the control of children in Palmerston North yesterday.

Jennifer Cossar was walking her golden labrador Monty on a walkway behind John F Kennedy Drive when the other dog crossed a steep drain and attacked about 11am, Sergeant Jeff Veale of Palmerston North police said.

The bull terrier was on a chain but was being looked after by two boys aged about 12, he said.
"The offending dog has seen the victim dog and just pulled out of the boys' hands, jumped across the river and had a go at the labrador."

Mrs Cossar broke her finger in an attempt to separate the dogs and was taken to hospital by ambulance. Monty suffered cuts to his ear and legs and spent most of yesterday receiving veterinary treatment, Mrs Cossar said. more>>
