Toby is a soft staffordshire bull terrior never ever has he hurt anyone. One day toby got out of the garden. He ran out into our street to play with a neighbours 4 dogs he had spotted through the fence.... note the neighbour had allowed her 10 year old daughter to go out with the dogs unsupervised by an adult... She was alone with 4 little dogs.... The little girl panicked as toby came towards them he just wanted to play with the 4 little dogs the neighbour... (mother) of the little girl ran up the street and kicked poor toby hard in the face this neighbour has a history on hating staff breeds her 4 dogs are all smaller dog breeds. Toby then went to play with the neighbours 10 year old daughter and accidently scratch the girls leg with his claws jumping about hes a playful boisterous dog hes only 10months old ....Then the neighbour the (mother) of the 10 year old girl and owner of the 4 dogs then rang the police falsly accusing toby of biting her daughter this isnt the first time she has accused a staff breed belonging to someone else on the same street of biting her daughter when all was just a scratch..And openly admitting how much she hates staffordshire bull terriors to the owner and stating IT SHOULD BE PUT TO SLEEP to the owner of the dog. As a result Toby was seized by police and will most likely be put to sleep for doing nothing wrong ..He is now being held intill further notice ..... As at present we have sought solicitors who are doing everything they can to help us fight for toby and fight the case..... Toby is soft natured he was more like a baby we know how frightened he will be right now being in kennels with other dogs with his trusted owners being no~where to be seen He used to cry when he was alone... Hes been with small children since being born he walked off the lead by mine and my partners side all the time and loved attention he would have just wanted to play as he saw everyone as friendly and trusted everyone he is only 10months old and is a pure staff breed.

The response to Toby's plight has been overwhelming and shows that people see right through these false accusations. We have the momentum we need to fight this injustice. Call your local representative today and demand they look into how these seizures are handled.

Each case should be assessed on an individual basis- the dog's upbringing and character and history taken into account. Also the accusers current presentation and history. If the outcome of the dog playing was nothing more than an accidental scratch- then the reaction to this has completely unreasonable and disproportionate to the event.
Staffies are a loving breed and love everyone. It was an accident a little scratch so please send him back home where he belongs. And who leaves a child on her own to play with 4 dogs now that's an accident waiting to happen.
This is so utterly unfair - Toby is a loving young dog and the law should recognise this and also check out allegations - any doctor can tell a scratch from a bite (any dog owner can too) PLEASE DO NOT KILL THIS DOG
having owned a beautiful staffie girl for 13 years i know they are not as people paint them.they are gentle soulsand i miss mine every day.what is happening here is wrong on every level.
I've seen Toby numerous times and he's been nothing but gentle he is a friendly loving dog and deserves to be home with his family where he belongs not to be put down!!
Toby will not be put to sleep butyl be killed. he will be killed because of his breed even though he did nothing wrong. Meanwhile the girl who kicked him will suffer no repercussions. The woman hates pit bulls and he should die for that? This is appalling and loathsome as he is a puppy who has done nothing. Imagine if humans killed others simply because they don't like them. Indeed that does happen to black people all the time. It is called racism and it is no different of pit bulls. It is not the puppy who is dangerous but the people who hate them because of their breed and those who will kill them for that same reason. You are going to kill a baby because of the bigotry and hatred of a woman and her ill educated and cruel children. Toby got out-why is that a crime? Put to sleep-no he will be murdered and that is what is scary.
So wrong all dogs deserve a life and a chance

I really hope that you get Toby back safe and sound. How ridiculous can things get? People should not have their dogs seized from false allegations - she should be charged for wasting police time!
