bait and dog again

[waco]

Waco, my ****Machines are well trained, and as a fellow angler, i alway's keep them well away from fishing gear, rod's boxes and the like.
Don't go tarring everyone with the same brush, or the dog walker's will do the same with angler's.

did I say you, no I did not only yesterday a bloke came down to groyne and promptly put his dog (pup) on the ground (no lead on, it went toward my gear I told him I BAITED HOOKS IN MY BAIT BUCKET keep dog away, he says it just a pup not know what it doing , , I then warned him again and had to raise my voice before he decided to move dog from my gear and then say it would not be 1st time he had take hook from a dogs mouth, I am only relating what I have seen with some stupid dog owners from personal experience I do not know what u do and others who I have not seen

just had a guy on the phone, he is an angler, he was down on beach beside Camels Island Sth Shields with his two dogs on New Years Eve, another angler had left his rod in a stand unaccompanied while he was off taking photos, two freshly baited hooks hanging there, one of his dogs swallowed one and the other grabbed the other you can imagine the chaos. He had to call emergency vet out and they operated straight away, he managed to get hook out the other himself. Unfortunately he wasn't insured, dog naturally is still not right.

Similar thing happened recently down my way, really big stink a bout it , the dog died, heart broken lady owner
