We have been contacted by somebody from Hankelow who was running along the canal and through Adderley when he was bitten by a dog who was with its owners but not on a lead. At the time the person brushed off the incident and continued the run but when they got back home it was found that the bites to the back of their legs were bad enough to warrant a visit to the GP surgery where they were dressed and a tetanus injection was administered. The person in question has told us they will be contacting the police.
We would like to remind people that you are responsible for the behaviour of your dog and when meeting people, especially strangers, it is a wise precautionary step to put your dog on a lead until the stranger has passed by.
