A very bad and frightening experience

Hanaa from Shirley

hi everyone
yesterday I was walking my dog in Ajax street around 2pm and suddenly a big dog cam and started snatching my dog's back in a very cruel way and my dog is a very small Chihuahua . My dog is a support dog for my disabled daughter . We were crying loudly for help . The lovely people from the area came quickly and saved my dog . The people called the police and people told the police that tis dog attacked an old man before and was scaring the neighbourhood kids . The owner knows that his dog is very dangerous but he leaves him unleashed running around the streets. I had to take my dog to the emergency after hours clinic and had lots of wounds and she was bleeding . I had to pay till now $873 . What was my fault to be exposed to this situation and me and my daughter could not sleep especially my daughter who is very close to her dog . I had my dog injured, a high bill had to pay and added to this is the anxiety and suffering of my little poor dog .

This new 12m-wide pathway will give you a direct, easy route from the street to the river promenade ... perfect for a stroll, a coffee run, or just soaking up the riverside vibes.
