Iwas on breakfast tele about 14 years back when they were bringing the dangerous dogs act out. I was picking rasberrys in the garden with my two grand daughters.
This staffy cross, jumped over the wall and attacked the young 4 year old. I grabbed him round the throat and didn't let go, till he let go of her by this time the dog was dead. Got the young one to hospital to get stiched up. Came home and the world had gone mad. Police, reporters. A guy from the TV news, the phone wouldn't stop ringing. Next day I made the front page. "GRAND FATHER STRANGLES PIT BULL TERRIER" I had done the dog owner a favour, because it was dead they couldn't charge him.
My grand daughter is now a lovely 18 year old dog lover. I got £60 for the breakfast TV interview.
Never realised how much that affected me till last year. One of my EX customers had a really nasty allsatian. He opened every door inside the house and sat there while this dog tried it's best to break every window to get at me.
I was ready to drop the guy. I finished that clean totally sressed out. I never cleaned his windows again. No more TV for me, Dai
