THIS IS CRAZY, UNBELIEVEABLE EVEN. HE IS BEING PUNISHED FOR NOTHING. THIS MAKES MY STOMACH TURN. WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE TO COME IN AND TAKE A DOG FROM HIS HOME WHEN HE DID NOTHING WRONG. THEN THEY HAVE THE NERVE NOT TO TAKE CARE OF HIM. THEY SHOULD BE CHARGED WITH ANIMAL CRULETY. GIVE THE DOG BACK AND CHANGE YOUR IDIOTIC RULES. APOLOGIZE FOR GODS SAKE AND PAY THE MEDICAL BILLS TO GET HIM WELL. DO THE RIGHT THING

Bruce seems to have pulled on everyones heart string.

I just wish all the other dogs who’ve the misfortune of looking like pit types facing destruction in rescues up and down the country also had the same support and publicity. I truly hope Bruce is reunited with his owners and the public who’ve been motivated by his story continue to speak out about BSL hopefully saving the lives of the innocent ‘type’ dogs without homes and owners to fight their corner.

Thank you for covering this story and keeping it in front of the public. I am in America and I am horrified and worried sick for Bruce the dog.

I am praying everyday and night for Bruce. I have signed the petition, passed it on to others, wrote letters to the press and government officials. This is awful what is happening to him and never should have been in allowed. He should be livng in better conditions that alone should be illegal to allow him to be injured and sick. Please let him go home and be a happy dog with his family. He and his family deserve a very happy ending. He is a loving and beautiful dog.

That injury appearing in a month on Bruce’s nose looks like it could be caused by a blow to me. I believe it didn’t happen by itself. Treatment would be a humane act.

If the screams and moans of animals could be heard, the sound would be deafening. If their misery and suffering could be felt by us, it would be unbearable. “Think occasionally of the suffering of which you spare yourself the sight.” ~ Albert Schweitzer.

“We give dogs time we can spare, space we can spare and love we can spare. In
return, dogs give us their all. It’s the best deal man has ever made.” ~ Marjorie Facklam, Award-Winning Children’s Science Author.

Please help me understand how the legislatures can not listen to the neighbours and people who know the affectionate behaviour of Bruce, and see first hand the many, many pictures of affectionate Staffordshire Terriers with children and adults. At home, Bruce lived in harmony with another dog. He is not dangerous. Bruce was a handsome dog now reduced to sores and weight loss. I despair at his treatment at the hands of humans. Please, if Bruce is alive, show compassion and LET HIM GO HOME!

what a heartbreaking story
I cannot believe this could happen in 2009 it is more like a story coming out of medieval times
one is ashamed to be a human being .
how on earth did such legislation come to existence
it seems whose who legislated were too busy to do a proper job in the first place.
