Saasher. My husband was just at the gate of my sister's house and had taken Stanley off his lead to go in. The other dog was in a 4x4 with it's woman owner, and she opened the rear door and let the dog out, It just saw Stanley and went for him. My sister heard Stanley screaming and came out and wrapped him in a towel after my husband got him off the dog. What happened next was unbelievable. The owner, a woman, accused my husband of being at fault and said that Stanley had bitten her dog. She then put her dog back in the car and blocked the road, preventing my sister and my husband from driving Stanley to the vet. My sister eventually drove around her and there followed a car chase around the town until she blocked my sister at traffic lights. My husband got out with Stanley and ran to a friends home who took them to the vet. The police were called to the scene at the traffic lights but they just cautioned her and let her go. She should have been prosecuted for blocking the highway. After Stanley died my sister called the police to her house, but they said that because the dog did not bite my husband they could not prosecute her. She was cautioned about keeping the dog under control. My husband says he wishes to this day that the dog had bitten him...it would have been worth the pain just to get justice for Stanley. The police told my husband that he did not bite her or her dog. My sister tried to bring a civil case against her, but had to drop it because if she lost the case it would have cost her thousands of pounds. She is a senior citizen on a low income and couldn't risk losing the case. From that day I have never given a penny to the RSPCA because they refused to help her.
