Man watches as dog attacks woman
A 34-year-old woman suffered serious leg injuries when she was attacked by a dog being walked by its owner.
Merseyside Police said the man, who was also walking another dog, just watched while the attack took place in Toxteth, Liverpool, on Saturday.

A police spokesman said the local woman was walking along Roseberry Street when the incident happened.

The dog was either a Staffordshire or Pitbull terrier and the owner was described as black and around 6ft.

now maybe it is me but in terms of what is going on in the world today - this just isn't a top story. it is probably a minor paragraph in the local press. at best.
true it is a terrible attack (and another page on the bbc site also points out that the bite exposed the bone), and frankly it once again shows how little respect people seem to have for one another in this country. the owner let the dog make the attack and then seemingly wandered off (let us hope he ran away in fear of being caught), judging by the report there was no one else around to intervene, so either the street in question was very quiet or the people there were just as callous as the pooches owner.
further evidence that as a country we are going to the dogs.






i am sorry i couldn't resist it.
