Really sorry, I have been away since the original post. Very difficult to describe the man, but of African decent I would say, very dark skin and quite thick set/sturdy looking. He was wearing a black tracksuit and a black woolly ?beanie? type hat and possibly had a moustache. The vehicle they drove away in was an old white pick-up truck that had one of those cabin things enclosing the back. Not much to go on there I suppose, but I was quite anxious and tried to stay my distance as best possible, but I still feel we were followed for a reason, that being the dog. In reply to some of the earlier posts, my dog is a pedigree and not that common, but I wouldn?t have thought attractive to someone who was looking to use her in any dog fighting or baiting activity. Dulwichmum, I really didn?t want to scare anyone, simply thought that if I posted my experience, dog owners might be that little more vigilant.
