City of Albany rangers seeking owner of ******* shepherd dog over alleged Boatshed Markets attack

City rangers want the public’s help to find the owner of a ******* shepherd that allegedly attacked another dog outside the Boatshed Markets.

City ranger coordinator Carl Fjastad said the dog — a medium-sized, ******-and-tan coloured ******* shepherd that had been let off its leash — attacked a small tan spoodle outside the Albany Boatshed between 10.45am and 11am on February 2.

The owner is described as a fair-skinned man in his 70s, of slight build, about 162cm tall, and wearing a grey wide-brimmed hat.

Mr Fjastad said the spoodle suffered injuries that required veterinary treatment but is “fortunately” recovering well.

He said rangers are investigating and reviewing potential CCTV footage that may have captured the incident.

Mr Fjastad urged dog owners to take proper responsibility for their pets to avoid “sad and unfortunate” incidents, and to take measures to ensure pets are secure at home and in public.

“Whether it’s ensuring fences and gates are secure, or keeping dogs on a leash in public spaces, these are simple steps that make a big difference,” he said.

“Dogs are not simply pets to be welcomed into your life without taking on the full responsibility that comes with them.

“They are animals that need proper care, training, and attention, particularly when exposed to public environments.

“Failing to take proper responsibility for a **** can not only result in significant legal and financial penalties, but also have serious and lasting emotional impacts on all parties involved.”
