Title: Cat attacked in Portsmouth: owner of savage dog sought
Post by: Christine (Blip) on June 05, 2008, 13:09:09 PM
From yesterday's The News:

'A vet has hit out at the owner of a Staffordshire bull terrier that savaged a cat so viciously one of [her] legs had to be amputated...Sophie was sleepily sunning herself on the doorstep of her home when the dog, which was off its lead, attacked. It tore at her body, leaving her with such appalling injuries to her right front leg it had to be amputated...The owner's details [given] by a neghbour who intercepted the female dog owner in the aftermath of the attack proved to be fake.'

The paper is appealing for anyone who knows the dog owner to come forward:

'The attack happened in Chepstow Court, Cowplain, around 5.30pm last Friday. The owner of the dog was a middle-aged woman with short blonde hair. She had two Stafforshire bull terriers. The one which attacked Sophie was black and the other was a tan colour...The woman may have been walking the dogs in Queens Inclosure.  If you know the woman please call Elise Brewerton [The News journalist] on 023 9244 1706 or email elise.brewerton@thenews.co.uk

By the way, according to The News, Sophie is still on a drip and traumatised, but recovering.

Really hope the poor cat will recover quickly. How traumatic.

I am sooooooo  :censored: sick of Portsmouth  :censored: :censored: Chavs and thier goddamn mutts!

Was thinking a couple of days ago that we should start a country wide campaign saying that stick insects (or swap in offensive animal of choice) are hard....wow your freinds with its mean attitude and leather studded harness  :naughty:. Then we'd have less of this sort of thing round here!   

I hope that woman is 'found' and 're-educated'- preferably by being savaged by her own dogs  >:(

Rant over!
