Spotted another dog walker with two large greyhounds so changed my route to avoid them. 15 minutes later came around the corner and was right near them. Clipped my dog on the lead, his was on leads already, one was muzzled. We said morning, walked past each other and then his dogs went for mine. The unmuzzled dog clamped onto her rear quarter, I managed to get the dog to release and then the other one jumped into me, knocking me over, so I wrapped my body around my dog and the unmuzzled dog just managed to graze my puppies tummy area. I saw red and just punched the dog on its shoulder very hard and commanded "NO". The dog backed off rather stunned. The owner of the dogs was scratched up from being dragged through the brambles and was apologising. The whole thing took all of 30 seconds of growling, snapping and biting. Thankfully I had on a thicker jacket which protected my arms. Couple of nips to my forehead and hands, but nothing major. I've had tetanus and rabies jabs thanks to travel I did in the past. We are all okay, my puppy has a couple of nips and grazes, but is very shaken. I did of course apologise for hitting his dog. He appreciated that, but also accepted I was defending my puppy.

Made sure the fellow was okay, gave him tissues to wipe his hands as he was bleeding from the bramble scratches. Parted peacefully and amicably. Dogs will be dogs. His younger muzzled one has only just been rescued from being a full time racing dog, so it sees fluffy things as something to hunt. The other one was a couple of years into ownership, but reverted to hunt mode due to the other dogs instincts kicking in. Could have been a lot worse.

Sitting quietly with the hound this morning whilst wife and daughter do haircuts and shopping. Somehow I am rather knackered now!

That is worth reading you know. To whom else can we turn, you have the words of eternal life (Peter replying to Jesus when asked who he thought he was following).

Is he still living in the Croydon hinterlands? (Maybe I misremember but I think at one time in the past he lived on a sort of caravan park).

Good to hear he's well.

Don't know anything about any caravan, but yes he's still south of the river!
