ffs, that's terrible. poor kid. council needs to do something about loose dogs

My heart goes out to them. That stretch of Lake Rd can be scary enough without dogs. Hope Micky heals okay

Probably some entitled owner who lets their 'friendly' dog roam off leash. Fines are not high enough.

facts. owners get a slap on the wrist and the dog gets a warning. a joke

Yeah nah, seen it before. Owners always say 'he's never done that before'. Bullshit.

so true, they treat dogs like they're harmless toys. have some responsibility

Eva Anderson2026-06-20T20:13:00.000Z

yeah exactly, they always say that. then the dog mauls someone and they 'had no idea'

Tom Harris2026-06-20T19:35:00.000Z

What a load of shit. Dog should be put down if it's that aggressive. End of story.

Reese Morgan2026-06-20T20:20:00.000Z

agree but doubt they'll do anything. councils are useless

Sophie Ngata2026-06-20T19:42:00.000Z

That poor mother having to watch that happen. She'll be traumatised too

Sophie Ngata2026-06-20T20:04:00.000Z
