Why keeping pets in an estate could land you in trouble

In February this year, Doreen’s two-year-old daughter was walking with her visitor’s daughter in their estate when a neighbour’s dog attacked them.

Doreen’s daughter was walking with their small pet dog on a leash. Her neighbour’s two dogs charged at them barking. “My daughter started screaming and the neigbour’s maid, who was walking the two dogs, left the dogs and went to console my daughter. That is when one of the dogs bit my visitor’s six-year-old daughter,” says Doreen.
