Thank you Amanda. The irresponsible dog owners and stories such as this are EXACTLY why we are dealing with BSL and the threat of loosing our right to own the breed of dog of our choice.

Ignoring the "dog bite" stories IS what gives the opposition fuel for their fire. There's no need to pretend that incidents such as this are NOT happening. If we work together, we can get the word out about "responsible" ownership.
