Although dogs are supposed to be kept on a leash, there was a dog chasing the newborn Springbuck on the driving range yesterday morning. The Moms and their babies were frantic and headed for the bushes. These three range from 2 days old, to 1 week. Yesterday a fourth one was born.
Shame that some dog-owners can be so irresponsible. Hope the little ones survived the ordeal without being too traumatised.
Beautiful shot of the new family.
It is horrifying to think of dogs chasing these sweet animals - especially the babies! I hope the owners of the dogs were known and reported. Love this shot.
@4rky@happysnaps@casablanca@sangwann@yorkshirekiwi@louannwarren@365karly1 Thanks for your concern. I especially stayed in the car so as to not disturb them. For that reason I could not see who the owner was. Yesterday someone was seen playing catch with his dog on the driving range which has turned into a nursery now. A new baby was born on Saturday, all four babies and their mothers were chased into a corner! The owner is fortunately known for not abiding by estate rules and will pay a heavy fine. If that does not work, his dog will be removed from the estate.
Beautiful shot of the new family.
