Owners of the dogs have contacted the Police.


It is ok to take 8 dogs
so long as you have good control
and they like you.

Tragic

It's pretty stupid of these dog walkers to take multiple dogs on a walk when they're all from different homes and may not be familiar or like each other, they start fighting among themselves and that can spill over if the dog walker tries to intervene

RIP to the woman though

a person is not going to be in control walking 8 dogs at the same time. It doesnt matter what size the dogs were, its impossible to control 8 on your own

100% agree, 4 small dogs or 2 large dogs as an absolute maximum and that's depending on the size and age of the walker. ONE very large dog.

If you can't plant your feet and not be moved easily by the dog/dogs you shouldn't be walking them at all and the idea that anyone can be in simultaneous control of EIGHT dogs is mad. Even if it was 8 very gentle dogs, you simply can't keep track of them, so they're at risk of encountering other animals or from traffic at the very least.

Obviously a horrendous thing to happen, but this was never a safe choice by any stretch.

I think one of those dogs was the Leader
and may have started the attack.

The more dogs,
the more cash.


A nice green
public walk.

Having 8 was the problem.

I totally agree.

Tragic and horrific thing to happen but extremely unwise to take so many out at the same time.

The 2nd Lady who was walking by
has now been, released from Hospital.

That lady may have seen what was going on.

All 8 dogs are at the Police station.

I did wonder how this could happen, its very sad, 8 dogs were too much for her sadly

I hope she died from shock.

She wasnt killed by "her dogs" but by other peoples

Yes, a Dog Walker gets Cash per dog

So 8 gets her more cash

One Dog started it all.
Attacked a passer-by.

This is terrible news on so many levels.

Like others have said on here, you can't look after 8 Dogs by yourself, I've had family members being stressed at looking after one Dog, let alone eight of them.

RIP to the woman though.

Beats me why people would have a dog then pay someone else to walk it.

It’s no different to countless royals , down the centuries or, having babies/children and having virtually no input into their care ..

Many of those dogs on the Walk
have owners that are working
or disabled, unable to walk.


It is a Big business now
maybe rules on the amount of dogs
would help
A max of 4 per person etc.

Even 4 seems too many ...the only positive is that anyone else was not seriously injured

Yes, sad she died from that 8 dog attack


The Police lady in charge
was crying

Not all dogs attacked her 2 were Sausage dogs, but there was a terrible tangle of leads and the dogs would be trying to get away and panicked. One of the dogs was a Leonberger which probably weighed much more than she did

What a strange comparison.

"Not all dogs attacked her, 2 were Sausage dogs,"


OK LT
So around 6 dogs killed her

"One of the dogs was a Leonberger"


Nice Photo
of happy one LT.

The one dog of that 8
the did damage
was an American Pitbull.

The wrong type of dog
to go with a pack of dogs

Oddly enough the softest , most loving dawg that I have ever interacted with … including our own dogs ( Irish setters / Shetland Sheepdog / Italian Greyhound) was a rescue … purebred American Pitbull !!!

Certain types of dog aren't necessarily "vicious by nature", a lot of what makes these breeds so dangerous is physical rather than by nature. They have ridiculously strong jaws/bite strength and an instinct to "clamp down" and not let go. Basically it's the opposite to a retriever which will - normally - instinctually be relatively gentle when biting down and "drop" easily on command.

Any dog can lose control and attack but the consequences can be vastly different depending on breed.

Or for example... chihuahuas can be vicious as **** but for the mostpart all that's going to happen is nipped fingers. A pitbull can take your arm off.

Also worth noting that the way a dog interacts with people doesn't dictate at all how they are around other dogs. My mum had a little Border Terrier who was the sweetest little soul around human beings - butter wouldn't melt in her mouth, just a silly cuddly little thing.

... ... ... she could NOT be around other dogs, and would attack on sight. She would literally go for the neck of dogs 4x her size, it was horrendous trying to walk her, and really hard to train it out of her (we were never successful) because the behaviour was only present around other dogs.

Also, it was another person walking by,
their dog that started barking.

And she was tangled in all the dog leads
that she pulled them back
but that angry American Pitbull Dog
started attacking her.

So it all adds up
how it went so wrong
