I did already.



A couple's dog saved their lives, now the police want to put him down.

The couple from Bristol, United Kingdom was minding their own business when a group of 20 angry and screaming men attacked them on their own doorstep.

The men believed a pedophile lived at the premises and wanted to send him a very violent message. But the mob was mistaken, the person they were looking for no longer lived there. But that didn't stop their attacks.

Luckily, the pair's five-year-old Staffie cross Labrador, Kylo was there and managed to run the majority of the group off. But the couple was still badly hurt. The thugs laid into the 25-year-old man, leaving him with a broken nose, fractured rib and bruising. And the 24-year-old woman was spat on by the hooligans as well.

Kylo had saved their lives. She was a hero. But when the police arrived, the dog was so agitated by the recent attack that it bit two of the officers in the confusion. Now, the officers have seized him and he could be put down.

Kylo was clearly doing what a good dog is supposed to do, protect his human family from danger. There was no way for him to know that the police were there to help.

The couple is fighting for Kylo's life and you can help.

When I was in the service, they had patrol dogs and attack dog's Attack dog's were handled by a guard in protection gear in case the dog turned on them. You did not stop one of these dogs, it had to be pulled off your beat up body. The patrol dog on the other command would attack only on command, patrol dogs were generlly taught to like people, attack dog's not.

When no longer young enough to go on a patrol dog could be adopted out, the attack dog had to be put down. An aggressive dog, for what ever caused it, is often considered a problem from that point on. Doesn't bode well for the dog! Sound to me like the dog above did the right thing and should be left alone. It's awful these thing's happen, the dog it sound like was simply protecting it's owner and on it's owner's property. Really really sad they would put down a dog like that, sad they would even consider it. It seem's in England any type of self defense at all is illegal. Rather call the cops, if you can, and they will be there right after lunch!

So any progress on this? Does anybody know?
