'Terry the dog walker' repeatedly let dogs attack people and their pets

A dog walker was in charge of seven dogs who repeatedly attacked both people and their pets, a court heard. Terrance Peckham, known as 'Terry the dog walker' took his dogs out near Brighton Racecourse in Sussex.

A man and his cockapoo were both injured after a pack of dogs Peckham was walking were out of control in November 2021. On another occasion, when the 67 year old was walking seven dogs in fields near the racecourse, another man suffered injuries to his arms and legs after being attacked. Shortly afterwards the same man was again attacked by dogs in Peckham's care and this time both he and his dog were bitten.

A Sussex Police spokesperson said: "A witness described recognising ‘Terry the dog walker’, suggesting Peckham was well-known in the area."
