can some one please explain to me how to get around section two of the dogs act1871/ the dangerous dog act1989 Dogs Training Discussions
A Westie(f) got into my garden after its owner deliberately allowed it to deficate outside my home on public grass and on the pavement leading to my back garden door.The bitch was left unattended,and desperately wanted to get into my garden.Iit eventually managed to wedge a panel out from the door and entered the garden and came into contact with a (f) mastiff.The Westie then ran out of the garden through the broken door,followed my the mastiff,who by the way had not long had puppies. The mastiff forced the rest of the panels out and followed the Westie which growled and bared its teeth at the larger bitch. The Westie did not bare its neck or submit and the larger dog tried in vain to pick it up by the scruff of its neck, the Westie,kicked out and the mastiff realising that the Westie was to big to carry,tried to nudge it towards the garden.The mastiff was called in,the Westi followed,i tried to shoo it away and was bitten.The Westie died,the owners son a cop and i need help!The owners son is a Pc and he has got invoved.A local Sgt came around our home,questioned our daughter about the incident and put her under alot of pressure about being able to enter the property,he asked her if she thought the pets were dangerous and told her in no uncertain terms when he did not get a favourable response that the dogs could not stay in the property and that some thing could be done without it ever having to go to court. You see my wife is a pcso and he made out that they both worked for the same people so it was okay to talk to him. He also said that he didnt want to get her mum into trouble by sending her an email at work and that he wanted to deal with her as an ordinary resident,so my daughter wasnt sure what to do,but didnt let him into the house and didnt let him see the dogs! He has since pulled rank,when my wife asked him why he was questioning a 15 yr old and has made the above app.On sunday he was seen next door with neighbour taking in her shoping bagMy wife has been sent a letter from the courts that an order be made for a dog namely a Bull mastiff called(name unknown to be kept under control (or destroyed) Pursuant to section 2 of the dogs act 1871 as amended by the dangerous dog act 1989. This wasnt the only time that her female had tried to get into the garden and she has a specific part of her garden bridged in,not to prevent my animals getting in but to stop her late Westie from getting out! I dont wish for any of my animals to die,though i seriously considered having the female mastiff put down out of respect,but i just dont know,i truley feel from its actions that it not wish to hurt the smaller dog( ie. trying to pick it up by the scruff of its neck,with protest) and that on an all white dog,there was no blood,but the fact remains that even if her dog was not used to interacting with other dogs and did not know the rules of its own kingdom,its still dead and i have a dilemma!My neighbours dog was untrained and never responded to any of her command to it ever several times it just ran away and on one occasion earlier on in the year it ran away for several hours and came back impregnated. The owner was unaware right up until the last few weeks and then tried 2 blame it on the local pooch parlour where she takes her dog for a pamper.This did not wash and the puppies were dispatched within 4-5week of birth. The incident concerning her dog being picked up by the scruff of its neck (where i personally belief the injuries took hold) was on the same grass verge that my neighbour had let her female out onto to deficate and it is a public place and so this is where my problem lies. the mastiff was not mussled as it was initially in doors and went 2 investigate the noise it could hear in the garden and was also not on a lead! What is the worse case scenario and what happens if i find home for the dog before court date? i believe that the Sgt want 2 verify ownership
