Anne's dog 'kills Queen's corgi'


One of Princess Anne's dogs bit two children last year
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.

Saw this on the BBC website this morning and thought it was a bit out of order that the dog is not being put down over this attack. Don't get me wrong I am a great animal lover and dogs are one of my favorites, but it is obvious that the dog will do it again given the chance and who is to say that next time it's not going to be a little child.

The fact is that if that was mine or your dog it would have been taken away to be destroyed with a second thought. Just because she is royalty she gets away with keep a deadly animal.

It's not the first time she has been in trouble with her dogs either, in November this year she was fined after one of her dogs attacked two children.

Really ****s me off how some people get away with murder.

This is the same dog that attacked two children last year...and the princess got a £500 fine for her troubles.

Now that it's gone and done it again..this time to another animal I think I heard on the news that it's future was *under review*.

I am an animal lover..I've got 3 dogs myself, but when you've got dangerous dogs that you can't control its about time that they were put down.

I wouldn't believe jack-541t that the British press or BBC tells you though. Kids could have been winding the dog up, but they're not going to say that as it makes the story too reasonable to get the punters excited.

doesn't matter if they were winding it up or not, it shudn't have attacked, whats to stop people winding it up in the future? its a danger, it shud be put down

Dogs dont have hands to push ppl away and cant speak to tell ppl to back off when they are pissing it off. Both of these give ppl warnings to stop and so it goes no further (normally)

All a dog has is its mouth and if pushed too far then it WILL snap or bite.


Having grown up with anywhere between 3-6 German Shepherd dogs since I was born (over 25 years ago) you understand this VERY quickly.... I was never bitten but bared teeth and a quick nip was enough.


It is wrong that the dog bit the kids but noone will ever know the full circumstances. The dog should at least be muzzled when in public however.
