A WILD boar charged at a man walking his two dogs in the Buckland Monachorum area last Monday. The man was walking near Long Ash Garden Centre when he came face to face with the wild beast, believed to be from one of the herds which escaped from a farm in Exmoor last year. The beast lunged itself at the two dogs around 11am. When the man backed off, calling his dogs to him, the wild boar ran into undergrowth. Tavistock Police were called to the area shortly before 11.30am. Officers are now appealing to walkers and residents to be wary if confronted by the beast until it can be located. The RSPCA was informed of the incident. Anyone who sees the animal is asked to contact Tavistock Police Station on 08452 777444 and quote crime reference number 1112 010107.
