A word of warning to everyone in my patch. There appears to be a guard dog on the loose in the Forest Gate to Ilford Area. It has already bitten one man (our patient) on the hand and under his arm. It is described by our patient as 'large, brown' angry and with a lot of teeth'.

We've informed the police and I suspect that they will be calling out the dog support squad to help catch it. The problem is that in this area there are a lot of small children who play in the streets. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we won't get another call to the area, this time with a savaged child.
