Owner’s outrage over brutal beach dog attack

A CURRIMUNDI pet owner is searching for answers after her dog was brutally attacked on an off-leash beach at the weekend.

Myra Thompson was walking her one-year-old german shepherd, Bella, on Saturday at Currimundi when Bella was attacked by three dogs.

She said she was shocked when the other dogs' owners "didn't say a thing" after the incident.

Ms Thompson said owners of "aggressive" dogs should take more responsibility for their pets' actions.

"If I didn't step in, (the dogs) would have savaged her quite badly," she said.

Bella's internal injuries were stitched and her wound was stapled together, costing her owners almost $700.

Ms Thompson said she reported the incident to council, but it would be difficult to find the owners of the other dogs.

"I just want them to held accountable for what their dog has done," she said.

"You can't have a dog that is aggressive off a lead on a public beach."
