Vanhalen 0 Report post Posted December 24, 2003 Anne's dog 'kills Queen's corgi' One of the Queen's corgis has been bitten so badly by an English bull terrier owned by Princess Anne it has had to be put down, it is reported. The corgi, Pharos, was attacked by the princess's dog Dotty at Sandringham on Monday, according to newspaper reports. Princess Anne became the first Royal Family member to be convicted of a criminal offence when Dotty attacked two children last year. She was fined £500 and ordered to keep the animal on a lead in public places. Monday's events had left the Queen "distraught", the Daily Mail reported. Buckingham Palace has refused to comment on the alleged incident. Children bitten The Queen's love for her corgis is well known and they were last seen in public milling around the feet of England's World Cup rugby stars at a reception at Buckingham Palace earlier this month. Princess Anne appeared before magistrates in November 2002 and pleaded guilty to a charge that one of her dogs attacked two children in Windsor Great Park. In that attack, a 12-year-old boy suffered a bite on the collarbone and two bites to the left leg while a seven-year-old boy was left with scratch marks on a leg, his back and an arm. The children's parents were angry that the princess escaped with a fine and the dog was not put down. However at the time the judge at Slough magistrates court warned any future attacks could result in Dotty being destroyed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest wildpegasus Report post Posted December 24, 2003 I hate the word "put down". The word is kill. I've been bitten by dogs before and didn't want to kill them. The children's parents should just grow up. I'm glad they didn't kill the dog. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
