A WARNING to all mums and dads with young children.

I am a 76-year-old peaceful kind of guy.

I was quietly walking to watch AFCB play Leicester at Dean Court on Saturday, February 1 at about 2pm.

Suddenly the blur of a black dog rushed by my right side, as he passed he took quite a portion of my jeans with this teeth.

The owner said: “Sorry, he’s never done that before.”

Being ex-Navy, I answered the only way I know how. It put the wind up me. Luckily he never drew blood. This happened near the car park/kiddies play area/cemetery end of Kings Park. If the owner is reading this, I think a new pair of jeans is in order.
