Heath sniff

Published: 10 June 2010

• LAST Thursday morning our delightful, young niece Nikki was walking her pooches on the Heath and came across a gentleman picnicking on the grass. Pooch number one took a sniff of a bag of his tempting delicacies. 

Nikki immediately called the dog back and hailed the chap with a hearty “sorry” even though no damage had been done or any physical contact made. Whereupon, the gent exploded in apoplectic rage, claiming her dog had just attacked him! He went on to roundly condemn her and all dog-walkers adding something or other about swan murders for good measure. 

So beware all New Journal readers, next time you take a sniff of anything; you may find yourself on an assault charge.
