 We all have our own favourite breed of dog, however, my soft spot was reserved for Bull breeds. I know each breed has their own quirks, and that's what makes them special to each of us, but for me, there's no smile like a staffie smile. My wife and I didn't have pets, just two children, but when I heard about a litter of pups that were being homed, I managed to convince my wife to let us go and see them, not to take one home obviously as she was adamant that we weren't going to have a dog, but we could just go and see them. However, changes were afoot, and by the time we arrived to see the pups she had gone from the adamant "no" to a "maybe we can get a girl?" When we walked in, we only had eyes for one tiny pup, which nestled in the palm of my hand. It was love at first sight, and it was obvious that Cassie would be coming with us to share our home and be part of our family. |

A True Story of a Dog Deemed 'Type' On 15th May 2006** My puppy Charlie* was seized from my home under section 1 of the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991. Charlie had only been with us a couple of months. My son had returned home one night with this sorry looking pup and asked if we could keep him overnight. A man had been threatening to dump him as he no longer wanted him, so my son took him. I said he could stay one night…which stretched into two, then three and before I knew it the shopping list included extra sausages for Charlie! |
