Excerpt from Dogmagazine article:
STAY OF EXECUTION GRANTED 7/2/09 BUT WE MUST KEEP THE PRESSURE ON! PLEASE FOLLOW LINKS FOR IMPORTANT CONTACT INFORMATION, THANK YOU!!!!!
Dog lovers around the world have reacted in horror to the recent news that the high profile case of pet dog “Bruce” may finally be over as a court orders he be destroyed in a few days time ending an exhaustive twenty one month battle to save him.

Bruce was a young Staffordshire Bull Terrier living happily with his family in Northern Ireland. On September 19th 2007 Bruce was seized by council officials as an alleged “pit bull type” and taken to secluded kennels whilst his owner was taken to court for owning a banned type of dog contrary to the Dangerous Dogs Act (Northern Ireland) Order 1991.

Whilst incarcerated in kennels his family were allowed to visit their dog in October 2007, Bruce had lost weight, muscle tone and had an open cut to his muzzle. Five months later Bruce was allowed a second visit from his family in March 2008, they were shocked with what they found: The wound on Bruce’s muzzle was larger, weeping and had become infected, he tail had been amputated due to damage and infection, he had open pressure sores, was underweight and looked totally broken and rejected, yet despite the clear pain he was in, is described by experts as being a friendly dog that poses no danger to the public.

This is such a horrible situation...and such archaic laws in a country that won't make changes to be like the countries around it. I truly hope they are able to save this dog, he does not deserve to be treated this way. Sadly, putting him to sleep would end his suffering, but not the suffering and anguish of his family...my thoughts and prayers are with Bruce and his family....
