Your courage in having him put to sleep before he was taken away from you is amazing. I hope I could be that brave in the same situation but I'm not sure I could. So so sorry for your loss, he was a beautiful boy who deserved better from the justice system xx

thank you all once again for your kindness, thank you Dawn for lighting the candle, it was a lovely thing to do...I just feel so empty right now but I shall in time write about this event so it can be published for all others to see to act as a warning on how the law has changed and how it can affect every one of us to such devastating effect....the only consolation I have now is that my boy does not have to be leashed and muzzled where he is now and that he can run free to his hearts content...just wish I could be with him....

An ABSOLUE atrorocity. My heart goes to ina and her family. I have had to take a few says before I comment. I am so upset angry and discussed at this horrendous outcome. I cannot put into words how I feel. I hope I never have to find out who these people are or who the heartless judge was who passed this awful sentence. I think he should meet some greys. After all how many "normal dogs" have killed or injured kids. No A GREY. Better stop now before I really get started and really spsak my mind

l know at some point we will need to draw a line under this heartbreaking story, but the more details l am hearing....and not hearsay or rumours.....the more incensed l feel. Although l feel terribly sad for the other dog, any sympathy l had for its lowlife owners has completely evaporated!!!! lt looks like the compensation culture is here to stay!!! l am just dumbfounded as to how any court could find in their favour!!!!! We must have the most laughable justice system in the world, and the biggest bunch of morons masquerading as judges.....why don't we just go completely back to the middle ages, and start putting animals on trial for witchcraft and devil worship...or maybe we still do??? It's a pity the police and courts are not as efficient in catching and convicting animal abusers and dog fighting rings!!! But then again, l suppose responsible...loving...caring dog owners are a much easier target!!! Hang your heads in shame PC Plod...the CPS...and last but not least...the old farts sitting on judges benches...you have been duped yet again by a sob story!!! To the money grabbing family... l hope the blood money that you receive brings you nothing but misery!!!!!!!! Sorry if my rant has offended anyone...but it needed to be said.

Ina I have just read this devastating story. It is hard enough when you lose your dog through illness but when it is a case such as this it is particularly heart breaking. Sending love and strength. x

Really happy for you Jet, but my mum is a little sad that she did not get to meet you when we come back from our holiday. Hopefully we might bump into each other on a Greyhound walk. Good Luck, Love Ripple.

Thundershirt works great for Rolo for thunder fireworks scary situations. It is very individual it works for some but not for others. You can also soak them in cold water so they don't overheat in the hot weather.
