REGARDING the two Staffordshire Bull Terriers attacking a small girl, I totally agree with Ms Clemence that no way should they be put down.

It was a mistake that the door was left open and the dogs were allowed to escape, but these dogs were probably more frightened of the young girl when she was screaming loudly than she was of them.

The dogs should not be put down and if I knew that this is what would definitely happen to any dog of mine I would put the dog into hiding rather than someone have it put down. Please do not put these dogs down!
