I would like to give a big shout out to ‘Gordon’, the Scottish white knight who responded to a terrifying dog attack on the evening of Monday, October 23.
Two rogue bull terriers were on the loose terrorising dog walkers along the waterfront pathway at West Gosford up to Fagans Park, Point Clare.
Gordon was walking his beagle Frankie when he witnessed the two dogs attacking a young lady and her beautiful spaniel puppy Maisie and ran to her rescue at the bridge in Bungaree Reserve.
He then continued on to ensure other dog walkers and children were safe and tried to detain the dogs.
Both police and an ambulance were called to attend to the young lady who was attacked.
The puppy was injured and required a check by the emergency veterinary clinic.
We were informed by the police a number of incidents had been reported that evening involving these two bull terriers which were acting in a hunting pack-like manner.
Please be on the lookout for these dogs and report them ASAP to the Central Coast Council Ranger on 4306 7900.
Both bull terriers were wearing collars with no identification tags.
One was charcoal brown, the other black and white.
I am an owner and avid lover of all dogs, including bull terriers, however, uncontrolled dogs that go rogue, become unpredictable and dangerous cannot be permitted.
Big thanks to Gordon for restoring our faith that chivalry still exists.

Support to a more restricted policy by the council on walking dogs around Gosford waterfront. I have seen so many irresponsible dog owners who do not pick up their dogs poo on weekend around Gosford waterfront. Some big dogs even bark at some children out of no reasons. That is dangerous.
