Vets have explained a 'loud noise' trick that could save you and your dog from an attack
Vet charity the PDSA is offering advice on what to do if your dog is involved in a fight after a tiny terrier was left badly injured by an escaped dog on a spring walk. Lucy, a 13-year-old Jack Russell Terrier and her owner, Janine Webb, headed out for their routine evening walk and came into contact with a roaming dog without an owner in sight.
“I was heartbroken leaving the Pet Hospital alone. It was the first time we had ever been apart and I was terrified that we may have said goodbye for good.” After a second night of care and monitoring in the Pet Hospital, Lucy returned home to Janine with instructions to rest, wear a cone collar to prevent her licking her stitches and continue pain relief and antibiotics.
Faith added: “A well-socialised dog will not normally be actively aggressive towards other dogs and won’t go around looking to attack others. But any dog can become aggressive if they are afraid and feel there is no other way out of the situation. This can be due to a current perceived threat or even past experience making them uncomfortable.
