This type of situation is easily avoided by keeing your dog on a lead in public.

Never ever accept a police caution. This might sound like it is just a 'caution' but it is worse that they make out as they put you on their record and can even take DNA.

I'm not being a school teacher, just offering advice as requested by the original poster. My dogs have been attacked by loose dogs and in my opinion it is unacceptable but easily avoided.

Just popped in to see the bloke in his shop, and he didnt even remember the incident, then he shoed me a cut on his ankle, more like a scrape than out else, he had the nerve to say the the other dogs were shook up, i apologised and left it at that.

Inever mentioned that they kicked the dog, justtook it and left.
