SIR – The irresponsible dog owners who let their terrier-type dog run off the lead about 4.15pm on Tuesday, March 16, on the public footpath leading up to Rodge Hill may or may not be interested to know that Sandy, our cherished pet chicken, which our children had hand-reared from hatching, died on Wednesday as a result of the injuries she received in the attack by the dog.
Incredibly, the owners of the dog said not one word as they collected their out-of-control dog from our garden as they walked past the scene of the crime.
Needless to say, our children are heartbroken, and tears flowed as we buried Sandy.
Please can we appeal to all dog owners to remember to keep their dogs under control at all times when out walking, and help prevent heartbreaking incidents like this from ever happening again.
RIP Sandy.
