Letter: Dog attack leaves pooch with broken hip

On Oct. 30, I walked a friendB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s Labradoodle on a leash in Ed Macgregor Park in Sooke. A massive golden Labrador, allowed by its owners to be off-leash, charged across the green space and plowed into the LabradoodleB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s left flank, sending the Labradoodle airborne and then to the ground.

On Oct. 30, I walked a friendB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s Labradoodle on a leash in Ed Macgregor Park in Sooke. A massive golden Labrador, allowed by its owners to be off-leash, charged across the green space and plowed into the LabradoodleB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s left flank, sending the Labradoodle airborne and then to the ground.

The LabradorB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s body check broke the LabradoodleB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s left hip.

The owners never came over to check if the Labradoodle was okay. They disappeared down the hill toward the sea.

On Nov. 3, my friendB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s dog finally got surgery; after 12 weeks of rehab, it will recover.

I want to warn other dog owners that there are irresponsible dog owners in town with a giant aggressive golden Labrador. Beware of dog.
