A beautiful visit ruined by Violent Dog Attack - Sat pm 10 Aug 2024 - Can anyone help?
Southwick Country Park的点评
点评：Please note this is a review of our visit to the Country Park (Dog walking & recreation) and not relevant for the animal park on the same site.
We were nearing the end of what had been a lovely walk around the meadows & woodlands at Southwick Country Park, one of our favourite places to take my 14-month-old Poppy, a Cavachon Therapy dog, the sweetest, gentle, most loving you could wish for. She is about 11 kg with dinky legs, just trots along, friendly with everyone and all dogs, she is so well trained and socialised.
We have been here several times before and always really enjoyed the vast open spaces, the people, and dogs we have met, and the peacefulness. Normally I walk alone here with Poppy and had always felt so safe but not anymore, I do not think I shall be back at least not alone. I do not know how I would have coped if I had not been with my son and grandson.
Just before we crossed the bridge 2 women with 2 black & white dogs, both off leads, came over the bridge first. The larger of the 2 dogs (and it was much larger & quite a long haired almost fluffy black and white, although like a collie must have been crossed with something big due to the size of it, maybe weighed as much as 30 kg).
Within the blink of an eye this dog saw my Poppy and literally flew past our family charging towards her where she was just plodding on following us. There must have been a look in its eyes telling her it was not friendly but was coming to attack her because she immediately sensed the danger and began yelping in fear even before it had set upon her.
I was completely shocked she had never made a noise like that ever before, bless her she tried to run for protection behind me, but the dog was so quick even I was nearly knocked over as he plunged at her hind quarters, and it brought her down instantly. If I had had time to pick her up, I would have, but it happened so quickly and it was such a full-on vicious attack had I put my hands in the way I would have been bitten.
IT WAS HORRIFIC, I thought I had lost her for good, I really thought this dog was going to kill her.
Poppy could be heard by other people in the park screaming/yelping as this completely un-provoked attack took place. We made sure we spoke to other dog walkers on our way to the car to warn them.
The only positive was that the woman (quite tall & broad, white top) looked like a jogger possibly, was there in seconds behind me to grab the beast.
Poppy was so terrified she ran away still screaming/yelping, and she never goes far from us, but my son had a job to catch her as she was just so desperate to get away from this cruel horrible dog.
I shouted at her why was the dog not on a lead; the woman did not say anything at all, says it all does it not. At that point none of us knew if she was badly injured or not.
By the time I'd caught up with my son & Poppy to make sure she was safe with him, just a few seconds (as this all happened so quickly) and I returned just back around the corner expecting them to either be coming to make sure everything was ok, the women and dogs were gone. Another dog walker said she had spotted them but when they saw her, they turned back only to disappear into woodland. I tried to follow them to get a better description, or a photo of the dog, but they had fled the scene rapidly.
They did not see fit to come back to check whether my puppy was injured or even to apologise. Clearly not at all concerned just left a wake of devastation, a terrified puppy, and myself in a terrible state as I really thought that dog was going to kill my beautiful fur baby. She is my constant companion & therapy dog, following 2 years of anxiety and fearfulness following my own trauma.
So I APPEAL TO YOU - If anyone has any information about who these walkers & the animal was I beg you PLEASE come forward and let the cafe know (they have my details so I can then further the report for the police/council), or alternatively contact the dog warden & the council yourself direct. This animal will strike again & it needs to be prevented, next time it could be a serious debilitating injury or a fatality.
I am convinced that dog (dog or bitch not sure which?) must have attacked before, I doubt very much this was a one off; the speed and efficiency with which that woman grabbed her dog said it all (thank goodness she had moved quickly it is the only thing in her favour), I also think they were regulars to the park and may even live locally, or walking distance especially as looked like they might have been joggers running with the dogs.
Someone must know who they are?
Have you also been a victim of this very distinct large black & white dog?
To put you real animal lovers minds at ease Poppy seems ok physically now (the next day) but I'm getting the vet to check her, she is quite sore in places on her hind quarters but luckily the beast did not get time to rip into her, but she was so badly shaken up she did not want to go down on the ground or near other dogs I just hope it does not affect her lovely sweet nature and love of play with the nice dogs of this world.
Just remember it could be your little fur baby next or your toddler/child at risk, and that by law ALL dangerous aggressive dogs should be under strict control, never let off lead, and in this case muzzled.

翻译：请注意，这是对我们参观乡村公园（遛狗和娱乐）的评论，与同一地点的动物园无关。
我们即将结束在 Southwick 乡村公园的草地和林地中一次愉快的散步，这是我们最喜欢带我 14 个月大的 Poppy 去的地方之一，Poppy 是一只 Cavachon 治疗犬，是你能想象到的最可爱、最温柔、最可爱的犬。她大约 11 公斤重，腿很小，只是小跑着，对每个人和所有的狗都很友好，她训练有素，善于社交。
我们以前来过这里几次，一直很享受这里广阔的空间、我们遇到的人和狗，以及这里的宁静。通常我和 Poppy 独自在这里散步，一直感觉很安全，但现在不一样了，我想我不会再回来了，至少不会一个人回来。我不知道如果我没有和我的儿子和孙子在一起，我会如何应对。
就在我们过桥之前，两个女人带着两只黑白相间的狗，没有拴绳子，先从桥上走过来。两只狗中较大的那只（它体型更大，毛发很长，几乎是蓬松的黑白相间，虽然像牧羊犬一样，由于体型较大，可能重达 30 公斤，所以一定是和某种大狗杂交过）。
眨眼之间，这只狗看到了我的 Poppy，它飞快地从我们家旁边跑过，冲向她，而她只是在慢慢地跟着我们。它的眼睛里一定有一种神情，告诉她，它不是友好的，而是来攻击她的，因为她立刻感觉到了危险，在它袭击她之前就开始害怕地尖叫。
我完全震惊了，她以前从来没有发出过这样的声音，上帝保佑她，她试图跑到我身后寻求保护，但那只狗跑得太快了，当它猛扑向她的后腿时，我差点被撞倒，它立刻把她打倒在地。如果我有时间去抱起她，我会去的，但事情发生得太快了，而且这是一次非常凶猛的攻击，如果我把手伸进去，我就会受到咬伤。
太可怕了，我以为我永远失去她了，我真的以为这只狗会杀死她。
当这场完全无缘无故的攻击发生时，公园里的其他人都能听到 Poppy 的尖叫声/叫声。我们确保在去车的路上和其他遛狗者交谈，警告他们。
唯一的好消息是，那个女人（身材高大，宽阔，白色上衣）看起来像个慢跑者，几秒钟后就出现在我身后抓住了这只野兽。
Poppy 吓坏了，她一边尖叫一边跑开了，她从来没有离开我们太远，但我的儿子不得不抓住她，因为她太想逃离这只残忍可怕的狗了。
我对她大喊，为什么狗不拴绳子；那个女人什么也没说，说了也没用。那时我们都不知道她是否受了重伤。
当我追上我的儿子和 Poppy 以确保她和他在一起很安全时，只过了几秒钟（因为这一切都发生得太快了），我就回到拐角处，以为他们要么来确认一切正常，但那些女人和狗已经不见了。另一位遛狗者说她发现了他们，但当他们看到她时，他们转身就消失在树林里了。我试图跟着他们，以便得到更好的描述，或者拍一张狗的照片，但他们已经迅速逃离了现场。
他们认为没有必要回来检查我的小狗是否受伤，甚至没有道歉。显然一点也不关心，只是留下了一片废墟，一只受惊的小狗，而我自己也处于可怕的状态，因为我真的以为那只狗会杀死我美丽的毛茸茸的宝宝。在我自己的创伤之后的两年里，她一直是我的伴侣和治疗犬。
所以我向你呼吁——如果有人知道这些步行者和动物是谁，我恳求你站出来告诉咖啡馆（他们有我的详细信息，所以我可以进一步向警察/议会报告），或者直接联系狗管理员和议会。这只动物会再次袭击，需要加以预防，下次可能会造成严重的致残伤害或死亡。
我确信那只狗（不确定是公狗还是母狗？）以前一定袭击过，我非常怀疑这不是一次性事件；那位女士抓住她的狗的速度和效率说明了一切（谢天谢地，她动作很快，这是对她唯一的好处），我还认为他们是公园的常客，甚至可能住在当地，或者步行距离内，尤其是因为他们看起来像是和狗一起跑步的慢跑者。
一定有人知道他们是谁？
你也是这只非常独特的黑白相间的大狗的受害者吗？
为了让你们这些真正的动物爱好者放心，Poppy 现在（第二天）身体上看起来还好，但我正在让兽医给她做检查，她的后腿有些地方很疼，但幸运的是，野兽没有时间撕咬她，但她太受惊吓了，不想倒在地上或靠近其他狗，我只希望这不会影响她可爱可爱的天性和与世界上好狗玩耍的热爱。
请记住，下一个危险的可能是你的小毛茸茸的宝宝，或者你的幼儿/孩子，根据法律，所有危险的攻击性狗都应受到严格控制，绝不要松开牵引绳，在这种情况下，还应戴上口套。
