Your Dog Forum

Turn-out was great (the clip doesn't do it justice).

By the way, the dog in the middle of the clip is Bishop. Bishop is a registered pit bull type. He spent the entire event in a single minded mission to lick everybody's ears and get his belly rubbed by as many people as possible.

Through all the noise, people, traffic, camera flashes, etc he was the absolute perfect dog. By law, of course, he is muzzled and leashed at all times in public.

Bishop is three years old. By the end of the evening he was limping slightly because of the damage to his leg caused by not getting the operation that he needed for the nine months that he was held.

I'd be amazed if there wasn't a happy ending to this story, after all of the publicity and recent news about the laws in NI.

I sure hope you're right, James.

I think the publicity and email campaign has revealed without question that the machine - the system - is broken. Even Northdown Borough Council, Bruce's prosecutors, have declared the law "not fit for purpose". I think Norther Ireland will move quickly to fix things to avoid a repeat of this humiliating exposure.

Whether that can save Bruce, who is still caught in that machine, we can only pray.

Due to the HUGE reponse to Bruce's Virtual Vigil - literally hundreds of pictures - there will now be, not one, but four commemorative videos.

The first and second ones are here:

And, whilst we're at it, here's some more of the vigil in London.

Hi All


Has there been any more developments on the Bruce front..?

I would just like to add

My thoughts are with all that have/ are involved in this effort to save Bruce.
The system seems to have gone mad.

From an outsiders point of view you should all be, very, very proud.
