Running towards commotion armed with...

[Tiddlypom]

A dustpan and brush

Luckily a 'nothing situation', just some on lead French bulldogs and their owner getting thoroughly overexcited on the road near us. Out of sight from me who was putting some fresh shavings down in the stables, it sounded very alarming as if people and/or dogs were injured, possibly an RTA, so I legged it across the field to help, clambering through electric fencing and over a padlocked gate.

I had a choice of lots of potentially useful kit at the stables I could have grabbed to take with me, so why I kept hold of the dustpan and brush is beyond me

Leadropes, carrot stick, hi viz, rug for wrapping a canine casualty in, first aid kit...

I am, however, impressed that I negotiated the gate there and back without going A over T!

This is when a bit of CCTV would have entertained us!

There will be but I am not going to put that up

I once dropped a large bunch of keys so I could stick my bare hand into a dog fight

Oh the mental image!

Glad you are doing your bit to ensure the 'batty horse woman' image endures amongst the general public

I really think we need to see this. It might help us plan against similar incidents?

Several of us trying to Separate two fighting dogs, friend grabbed saucepan of old poached egg water from the sink, poured the water on the floor in her excitement and whacked one of the men hanging on to a dog round the back of the noggin with the saucepan. Amazingly it worked and they got the dogs apart.

The frenchies have just sounded off outside yet again , by heck they are loud screams for such tiny dogs, you'd really think that something terrible was happening to them. It's just them being put back in their car after a walk.

I do at least know now not to run to try and help, which is just as well as the time before last I had just stepped out of the shower and that really would have scared the natives

Our last beagle in full cry chasing the scent used to sound like she had been run over! We had many faces of worry look in our direction when we took her over the grounds.

We had a retired harrier and when hunting rabbits round the barn she sounded like a heron caught in a snare. (Or how you’d imagine it to).

Minihound in full solo hunting cry sounds like she's in agony/trapped in a snare or similar. They're definitely choristers not soloists

Still chuckling at this

I used to walk our pista ciclabile regularly.Loose dogs were becoming the norm..then loose dogs with no owner..
My “ Go to” was a robust ,large ,press a button to open automatically,umberella…easy to carry.
It would form an immediate barrier between attacking dog and my two ,standard poodles..
Ialso carried a dazer( look up on internet for sound barrier repulsion tools)
Job done..
