How Did I Know It'd Be A Staffie..?

Assistant fair manager Luke Thurston, 22, found himself in hot water when he sold his girlfriend Rosie's dog without her permission.
Mr Thurston attempted to get the Staffordshire Terrier back 24 hours after the sale - only to be accused of robbery after getting into a struggle with Bella's new owners in the living room of their home.
New owner Katrell Lovick received a cut to the arm and accused Mr Thurston of stabbing her.
But Mr Thurston insisted it was done by her own boyfriend as he struggle over the dog and Ms Lovick grabbed her back.
 *totally unshocked face*
Mr Thurston denies charges of robbery and causing grievous bodily harm. The trial continues.
The only one I feel sorry for is the puppy...

    "Flee shampoo", in the Telegraph! There is a product called Flea flee shampoo available in Australia, but somehow I dont think that is what this lady bought.

    Maybe one of the parties could offer this dog a home.

    Preferably, they could take turns.

    Those Staffies - no end of trouble.

    A person whom you know has a viable claim to own the dog you just bought offers you twice the purchase price just to get the dog back and to maintain cordial relations without the involvement of the police.

    I understand people get very attached to dogs but in this case common sense says 'take the money and use it to buy another puppy'.

    My guess is that this was not exactly about the dog. Dunno what, but something else was going on.

    They are just as bad as 'The Mail'!

    "Maybe one of the parties could offer this dog a home."

    Interesting the new police tactic of turning up and filling it full of lead didn't get put into practice here. Perhaps the film crew were a dissuasive force?

    "I understand people get very attached to dogs but in this case common sense says 'take the money and use it to buy another puppy'. "

    Well, quite. But these people probably see a potential weapon, not a loving pet.

    "Assistant fair manager? Tells you all you need to know."

    I'm assuming it's not a job fair... ;)
