A terrifying incident involving a German Shepherd attacking a professional dog walker, Paul Jennings, and his wife Sasithon as they were walking their beagle, Cody, in Kingston-upon-Thames town centre has been making headlines. Sasithon bravely intervened to protect their dog and was bitten in the process. CCTV footage captured Paul wrestling with the aggressive dog before the owner finally intervened by putting it on a leash and leaving. The couple reported the incident to the police, but the owner has yet to be identified. Paul believes that dog owners of large and powerful breeds should be required to undergo training or obtain a license, as with driving a car, to avoid such dangerous situations. As a professional dog walker, Paul fears for the safety of both humans and dogs alike and hopes this incident will lead to greater awareness and action to prevent future attacks.
