I just took my dogs for a walk in the woods. In the car park was a hand written sign saying someone's year old dog had been attacked by some bull terriers from a white Transit type van.

It said they had no collars or leads.
I bet it was pikeys.
Also, I think the walk might have been too much for my old dog. She usually puts her front paws up on the floor of the car boot and waits for me to lift her in but she couldn't even do that today. During the walk she tripped over her limp leg a couple of times. She broke her front left leg a few years ago and it never healed properly, so she can barely use it. She still enjoys her walks but I'm worried about how much longer she's going to last.
