A Staffordshire Bull Terrier on death row has been given a reprieve after his owner's legal team raised thousands of pounds.Ummmm.... What?
Incredibly, it's this notorious beast:
Barrister Ali Rafati, who waived his fees, helped raise money with fellow barristers and lawyers and other friends outside the legal profession.
Dr Anne McBride, who examined Dre for the defence team, waived part of her fee and then raised money with her students at Southampton University.
Mr Rafati said the charity would have taken Dre without the donations but added the trust was "on the brink". He added: "To my knowledge this is the only charity which can help with dogs such as Dre.
"The dog will remain at the trust until such time they think he can rehomed."People - and lawyers!! - raise money. For a savage dog.
It's victim? Oh, who cares about her?
PC Campbell spent three hours in surgery, her arm wound requiring 29 stitches after the incident.You couldn't make it up...

I'm sure they raised an equal amount to compensate the victim.......tumbleweed.....
Keep an eye on this one Julia.When this dog savages a child i'm sure they will be very proud of themselves.
Jaded.
Image search Anne McBride. I dare you.
"waived part of her fee" - very magnanimous.
She's a dog psychologist, for Pete's sake. What's she going to do, ask it about its mother?
"She was a bitch" woofed Dre the dog. "Dam her".
What next, Rorschach blots? Primal howling?
Looks like we are dealing with someone who saw Doctor Doolittle and thought it was a documentary.
She was a co-founder of HOPE - the Homeless Owners with Pets project
Well, I guess that is snapper than 'Impoverished people with enough spare cash to feed and house an animal"
You know, I'd love a dog. I can't afford a place that's really big enough for one after I've paid all that lovely tax. I need to travel for business and I take a three week vacation every year to visit my family. To cap it off, Mrs 20 is a nurse who must work shifts.
So I guess I am really pleased to see that people better-adjusted than I am are being helped to have a pet of their own.
It's important that homeless people can maintain the lifestyle they want. For if they had their pets euthanized, spent the Chum money on a fresh shirt and a razor and got themselves jobs, why, there'd be nothing to wring our hands over.
Footnote: I came across this from the University of Southampton. It's a gem:
A problem-based approach to discussing diversity may be applied to interprofessional education
Kevin Galbraith*, Sally Curtis*, Anne McBride§
TAKE HOME MESSAGE
A problem-based approach to discussion of diversity is helpful in changing attitudes of both medical and CABC students. We invite further discussion among peer educators on our proposed adaptation of these sessions to help interprofessional groups of students explore attitudes and perceptions towards others in the service delivery team.

Aye, well.....
20, you got a translation into German, Swedish....or even ENGLISH for that?
"The dog will remain at the trust until such time they think he can rehomed."
To complete the doggy quasi-judicial meme, the above might have read: "... remain in custody until such time he's safe to release into the community".

na klar.

I certify that that is an exact translation of the scientific breakthrough cited above.
Generations will hail the names Lamb, Curtis and McBride for the seminal work "A problem-based approach to discussing diversity may be applied to interprofessional education" which ranks with Principia Mathematica and La Géométrie in import.
For it is only through their erudite and untiring efforts that Man finally sees the shining reality - that a problem-based approach to discussion of diversity is helpful in changing attitudes of both medical and companion animal behaviour counselling students.
For millennia, we have agonised over this question, and now the answer is clear.
Eureka!
"When this dog savages a child i'm sure they will be very proud of themselves."
Will we ever know? It's not as if it's a rare occurrence, sadly.
And the Trust is unlikely to 'fess up if it does...
"Footnote: I came across this from the University of Southampton. It's a gem..."

NOW it makes more sense! :-) :-)
They must have told the mugs who donated that the dog was a Palestinian or something similar! The cynic in me believes that these two, the barrister and the 'expert witness', are a pair of parasitic opportunists in the mould of Dr Roger Mugford. He must be enraged they're parking their tanks on his lawn! There's munny in them thar danger dawgs!
