Dog Attack
Whilst out walking along Altinkum seafront on Saturday evening with my husband and our dog Honey (on a lead) A very large stray dog came off the beach and attacked Honey. It was terrifieing! Eric kicked it off and luckily it went away, poor Honey was screaming and bleeding, several Turkish people gathered around shocked at what had just happened and trying offer their help. As you can imagine we were very upset, I was in tears. We took her straight to the vets, she has 3 bite wounds which after sedating her he stitched.
I have reported it to the council, but not sure whether it will do any good, the vet even said that the council will not do anything. We know other dog owners here who will not take their dogs along the front because of the risk of attacks. Something should be done to get rid of these dangerous stray dogs, it's a bit bad when you can't walk your dog for fear of attacks. Honey loves a run along the beach and going in the sea, but dare'nt go there now.
