Toddler injured in Jack Russell attack near Uckfield

odd how the media are so quiet about this because it's not a pitt bull/GSD/rottie.

"a sign saying the pub was home to 2 dogs who were "still learning" " ...yet they were allowed to roam free around the place which actively encouraged families with young children...what??????Hardly a suitable set up for dogs that still need to learn I feel?!?
And yes....stories would have been very different had it been a different breed

i cant believe that guy allowed the dog to still roam freely around the pub after the first time he bit a toddler. i wonder what caused him to do it... i also wonder how old harvey was...

I haven't read the story, so just going off the title, I'm sorry that the toddler was injured, but I find it refreshing (that maybe the wrong word) that a small breed injury is publicised for a change (I'm not condoning it, but get sick of the big breeds and staffs being the seemingly only dogs getting bad press)

I found that disturbing reading, more so the attitude of the owner,

thank god he does not own rotties, thats all I can say

That really is disturbing reading!

I had a JRT for 18 years, they can be a Rotti in small skin....they need proper handling & training

not that much publicity tho Jen, I would not of heard about it had i not read it on another forum

yeah...you can bet if it had been a rottie/staffie/etc...it would have been much more publicised!

omg poor kids, did you read it his other dog is a gsd
