A woman who took her dog to the park on a sunny Saturday morning expecting to have a nice day out saw things take a scary turn for the worse when she was attacked by a long-haired border collie.
While queueing up outside a cafe for an ice cream after a walk with her puppy Reggie on Saturday, April 29, Jucena Ali noticed another dog making its way over to them. She said there were lots of dogs and children outside the busy cafe in Cwmdonkin Park so she'd put her dog on a lead. But, although the approaching dog had a lead attached to its collar, there was no-one holding it at the time.
"You can always tell by a dog's body language what's going to happen," said Jucena, from Mount Pleasant, Swansea, who explained that she used a baby voice to greet the dog before moving her own dog, who is a short-haired border collie, from her left side to her right.
