I am not a deeply religious person, but felt the need today as I passed Birmingham Cathedral to pop in and light a candle for Ina and Merlin and hope Ina won't mind me doing this. I am so moved by this tragic and unfair story xx

Bad luck mate, seems you're not a ladies man after all! I am sure the right home will come along for you soon - we're learning about you all the time. I must say you have soon settled back into the old routine! Big cuddles for you my darling boy. xxxxx

Have been feeling really sad as Lou Lou and Liam just didn't hit it off. I was so sure they would make lovely companions. I totally adore Liam...he's so loving and cheerful...licked my daughter's face and wagged his tail frantically and loved having his tummy rubbed. If we hadn't got Lou Lou, he'd be top of our list for adoption!! Jem, if you are able, please go and see him...he's adorable. X

Merlin came to training classes a few times and those that knew him knew him as a gentle giant.This is a tragedy for all concerned.Ina life must have been unbearable for you over the last few months but you have done right by your beautiful boy.Looking at newspaper and social media coverage I can see the other owners are devastated but appear to be fueling an anti greyhound campaign in your area.I wont repeat what is being said but it is unfounded .I hope things with time settle down so you and all the other greyhound owners in your area can enjoy your dogs. Everyone's thoughts are with you.Love to you all.

Of course no one judges or condemns you - this could potentially happen to any dog owner. I have struggled with what to say as I am so sad and angry at the injustice of this. I should feel sympathy for the other family who lost their dog in such terrible circumstances but what kind of people would pursue such vengeance? I am so sorry for what you are going through but despite the outcome it was worth the fight - you had to fight for your boy. It takes a brave person to take on the establishment and we should all be very proud of you. You could not have done any more for Merlin, this was not your fault. A truly terrible tragedy. Debbie xx

thank you to all of you for your lovely kind words...it means so much that there are people here who do not judge and condem me for what was an accident that I wish to goodness had never happend...I miss my beautiful boy so very much and his memories of him will stay with me and help me through this...my other three are quiet today, missing him and realising that he is not coming home...life can be very sad and unfair but it is made more bearable by people like all of you. xxx

Hi chickman, sadly Liam and Lulu just didn't hit it off. Carrie said he is a lovely boy and had fallen for him already! She was very disappointed to have to bring him back so soon. Maybe being an only child would suit him best. He was happy enough to go back into his kennel with a tasty pigs ear! Xxx
