An RSPCA dog specialist attributed the rise in dog attacks, in part, to impulse buying puppies over lockdown.
"People found themselves in a situation where they wanted some companionship, wanted something for their children to look after," Dr Sam Gaines told the Sun. "Whether that led to some impulse purchases, or impulse acquisitions for people without asking: 'Do I have the time, do I have the resources and finances to make what is a very long-term commitment?'"
"We are worried that some of the incidents could be related to that," she added. "Some of the increases in dog bites we've seen - they may well be as a result of that."
