When I was little I always used to take her on walks with my mum over Foxes Forest. She loved going in the lake she absolutely loved to swim all the time. We went over there one day and there was another dog without the lead on. The dog ran towards my dog and they were having a fight. I screamed because I was so shocked that Jade got attacked. My Auntie walked me and my Cousin to somewhere else were we couldn't see this fight. My Mum was stood in between these two dogs, she was shouting at the owner said " They are only having a bit of fun, stop worrying! " My Mum was furious, she was trying not to hit this man, that was vile what he said, he thought it was a bit of fun watching dogs fight; my Mum was pulling Jade away, but the other dog kept on going to bite her. The owner just got bored in the end, he whistled for the dog to come with him, and he walked of.

My dog was whimpering, my Mum checked over my dog quickly she had a few cuts and 2 bruises on her nose and leg. After the attack she barked at any animal she didn't recognise and people that was strangers to her. We were never able to take her back down Foxes Forest again.

After the attack we took her down the back alley to have a run, as that was the only place she would go to do her business. She adored going for walks down the alley,

One day me and my family went to Hundred Acres and it was just a big forest with small lakes that were clean water. People took there dogs their dogs for a walk over there so they could be free. We went over there again the next weekend and we took Jade with us, she loved it! But as there are foot paths in Hundred Acres we decided we would take her in the forest where the lakes were because she would have more fun there and she most certainly did. It helped because the other owners just followed the footpaths because they fought they would follow the rules, obviously the rules can be wrong sometimes as Jade love it over in the forest, so having no dogs around didn't make her skat out and go in barking mode.
