Dear Editor,

Re: Call for ban after dog bites toddler outside Tesco store 

I have always taught my child that she should not approach unattended dogs and she should always ask the owners permission before petting any dog, that to me is common sense.

Surely as a childminder this should be foremost in your mind!

I own two very friendly dogs which I often leave outside the shops, when I am not there I do not know how they will react if they feel threatened, and who can tell what in any given situation will make a dog feel threatened.

The best course of action therefore, is always to leave and not approach an unattended dog to wait for its mum/dad to return, surely that goes without saying.
