The sins of the m*****
All this over exaggeration isn’t necessary. It is my understanding the owner took the lady to the hospital , stayed with her and paid for her medical expenses. The same day the lady went to Maria’s by the sea after she left the hospital to have breakfast with her friends. The owner of the dog also paid that bill.
Now 2 weeks later this. Their are so many stray dogs that’ are aggressive walking on the public road attacking persons, but because the last name lake is involve here we go!!
I would not have known the last name of the owner until I read your post.
Seems like only you making the last name an issue.
countries. Suppose the victim was a little child and no one else was around at the time of the attack. She might have
been killed. Why does any one need such a dangerous animal anyway?
if this story is true and it was me i would of sue you. Not because I looking money because that negligence to the fullest and people said you been warn before. YES I SUE FOR NEGLIGENCE
And on the flip side of things, the dogs are patroling the streets more than the police who are been paid to do it, sad.
