Police in Conway

Why can’t owner keep their pets under control. This incident could have caused a serious accident. I feel sorry for the policemen who had to run the dog down. It must have been a difficult decision, but in my opinion the right one.

The other day there were horses loose on the M20 ,it's a good job the police didn't deal with them in the same way ,but I think you would need to have been at that incident ( Conway) to understand the decision taken

I am a dog enthusiast and I have no hesitation in saying :-

The forces of law and order took the correct decision -- The dog had already bitten a police officer who had tried to catch the out of control dog.  There was a great danger that the loose dog would cause a pile up on the road.  The dog could not be put down any other way, using a firearm would have been too dangerous to the general public. It must have been a difficult decision for the officers concerned, but definitely the correct one.

Hope this works.

I,ve used the A55 many,many times and its a fast road with lots of traffic.It sounds like an unfortunate incident but it seems the police had little option.
