What the petition asks

My dog was attacked on our door step when we were leaving for a walk she lost a part of her ear received puncher wounds to her neck and required emergency surgery.
The dog warden Visited the owner but because I was not injured in the attack there was no investigation by the law.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We are sorry to hear about what happened to your dog.

Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand you'd like changes to the law, but we aren't sure exactly what changes you'd like.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
