We made it into the papers!

Just picked up the local new paper and we have a half page spread! Seems there was another attack 5 days after my sheep were attacked just a few miles from us. Jack has been a very good model and is the main picture!

Good to get a grisly photo in front of the dog walkers who don't put theirs on a leash.

Yes, that's good exposure Hillview, hope it doesn't happen again, might be worth putting a reminder in your paper in a year or so too.

Obviously wish you HADN'T been in the paper, but given the awful time you've had, really pleased you have managed to get the publicity.
