My thoughts exactly - MOO - and I posted about this on a previous thread (yesterday).
Not this rural person! I can never find string in the house, let alone on my person when out walking.
Ah I see it, was aware of the gate but not the style. Thanks for posting
Yeah free range chickens running about with dogs off leads could be a big problem. I have a cockapoo and first sign of squirrels, rabbits etc she is off although she is trained and comes back sometimes squirrels just make her blinded. If she saw a chicken running about she would definitely be after it and would probably hurt it although unintentionally as soft pallete. Cocker, Springers etc are bred for this to flush birds, game out etc, it's in their nature.
Wonder if its the same who tied the dog to the bench with string? The string seemed a bit odd unless its a more frequent occurrence in the area & to somewhat highlight a point.
I think that was after it was tied up with string. So when her husband got there.

Between the bench and style i believe on the updated info
I'd guess it's not as much about dogs running freely about the field (which does not pose any immediate risk) as it's about dogs without lead running to the water potentially endangering both them and the owners. We have to remember that likely it's not only adults who walk the dogs there. A kid trying to "rescue" an animal who jumped into the water like this is definitely a life hazard. IMHO of course.
That was certainly NOT from Supt Riley's presser yesterday or her presser last Friday or any police statement whatsoever.
From police statements and other information provided in MSM, the witness at 9.33am discovered an agitated dog, no owner in sight, a lead and harness discarded on the ground near water, and a mobile phone near on a bench near a river - which MSM has shown to contain warning signs above the bench about it being very deep and dangerous water.
but do we know this person alerted her family member immediately or after she had attended her appointment she was due at. Even if done imediately the family member may not have been able to just drop what they were doing and go down to the river.
In a previous interview Sgt Riley mentions the clothes in such detail as looking for any item that might be washed up between the 'bench' and Morecombe Bay area. Presumably, this would give a a steer on location.
It's not really new info.
I was hoping they might do a more thorough search around the area of Shard Bridge. It concerned me when something must have been spotted in the water the evening lots of police cars with flashing lights turned up by the bridge but nothing could be found. It just reminds me of the Libby Squire case when somebody spotted something in the river but nothing was found when search teams arrived. A couple of days later her body was found. It would be worth just another investigation round that Shard Bridge area just to rule anything out. Maybe a body can come to the surface briefly then disappear under water again?
Thank you, just to add the dog had a collar on, presumably with a dog tag etc.
I agree. Where is this poster getting her information from!
I'm guessing this person is the park owner, owns the land, and wonder if they have legal responsibility for fences/hedgerows/posts surrounding the public rights of way etc where you might want to tie something back/whatever. Perhaps they were "doing a morning reccie" when they came across the scene.
