Dog Law Overview
They say that Britain is a nation of dog lovers and really the facts speak for themselves. There are now an estimated 8.5 million dogs in Britain, an increase from an estimated 5 million in 1970. From the smallest Chihuahua to a Great Dane, dogs have become part and parcel of British family life.
As dog ownership has increased it should follow that the law, both civil and criminal, would evolve to reflect the increasing importance of dogs in our everyday life. Would it be too much to ask for common sense legislation to have developed over the years governing our interaction with our canine friends? Regrettably, the law, both criminal and civil, is in a mess. A right dog’s breakfast.
