Woman’s Plea After Dogs are Attacked
By Nicola Robinson – News Editor
A Tamworth woman is appealing for information. This happened after her two rescue dogs were
viciously attacked by another animal – leaving one needing surgery.
The incident happened as Lorraine Jones took her Yorkshire terrier-poodle cross
Pepper and Westie Bertie for a late-night walk, on December 21 near her home in Field
Farm Road, Belgrave.
“The dog launched at Pepper and clamped on her trying to drag her away and pulled
me over at the same time,” Ms Jones explained. “I just screamed for help to get it off us.”
Fortunately Ms Jones’ cries were heard by her neighbours who rushed to her aid. But as
soon as Pepper was freed, the dog then “clamped down” on Bertie’s neck.
She said: “It was shaking him violently and it bit me in the process. The owner just stood
there and said, “What do you expect me to do about it?”
Ms Jones needed stitches in her left hand. Bertie suffered deep wounds to the neck and
had to have eight stitches and undergo an operation, while Pepper suffered cuts to her
leg.
Both dogs have been prescribed antibiotics and pain killers and the drama meant Ms
Jones was forced to cancel her plans to spend Christmas Day in Yorkshire.
Kind friends and generous members of the “Free to Collect Tamworth” Facebook page
all donated food so Ms Jones could enjoy a festive meal, and old blankets to keep the
shaven dogs warm.
Ms Jones added: “We’re so lucky my neighbours were there to help us or I don’t know
what would have happened.”
Anyone with information about the dog – described as tan coloured and possibly a
staffie-American bulldog cross – or its owner, who was also walking a smaller black dog,
is urged to contact Staffordshire Police by calling 101, quoting the inciden
t number 817 of December 21.
