My eldest daughter is quite anxious around dogs, and she mentioned the dog was off its lead."I thought it was on the lead. The woman was quite far away from us and then the next thing I know Anna was playing on the wooden assault course and the dog was beside her."I shouted and said there was a dog behind her.
