I know there was a thread on here where someones dogs were seized under it, there was alot of helpful advice but I can't find it anywere, I think it may of been removed?
I got alerted to this group by a friend, could anyone who gave links and good information be able to help these people out?
Its a group on facebook - Please Help Save Beau Bear
Heres some information for people who don't have facebook, would be willing to send any info on if anyone has any but does not have facebook.
We are looking for support for a birmingham family whose teenage daughter is suffering from a chronic vomiting disorder, which had lead to her becoming anorexic, and her mother suffering from depression.
Their situation has been mad much worse as their family dog has been seized, her family stereo typed due to race, and the mother who's our nurse and her son facing prosecution. To explain-it's a long one so apologies. It is a sad tale for Beau and everyone who loves him. A few months ago Beau was taken / seized after being falsely accused of biting someone whilst off his lead.
The scenario surrounding this accusation is this; Beau spotted a German Shephard Dog at his local park whilst playing off lead. He ran to the dog wanting to play as he always does. The owner of the German Shephard grabbed him by his scruff and threw Beau away from his dog. The owner then claimed that Beau had bitten him. He reported this to the Police. The owner of beau waited for the police to arrive at the park. On investigation by the Police, the Owner of the German Shephard was an off-duty Police Officer and dog handler. There were no visible injuries and the skin was not broken at the apparent site of injury. He also accused Beau of being a Pit Bull Terrier.
After a long drawn fight it has been ordered that Beau be destroyed and his owners prosecuted. Beau is a big cuddly Staffordshire Bull Terrier teddy bear. He frequently comes with his Mommy to her place of work, and brings joy and laughter to her colleagues. He plays ball, checks the bins for sandwich leftovers, greets everyone at each desk, and will sit for hours being cuddled and fussed over. He will also follow anyone going on tea break, in hope of getting a biscuit from the jar. He treats everyone the same, whether it be strangers or familiar faces. He is such a friendly boy, affectionate and playful.
He is never stroppy or aggressive, never showing any sign of unwelcome behaviour. Beau is loved by his family, friends and work colleagues! He also has a large 8 year old male house rabbit as his best buddy. Having worked with Beau all of his life, we know the accusation is unjust. Please help us to save our Colleague and her Family from any more pain, and to save our Canine Work Colleague from Destruction, by posting any support here.. This animal is not aggressive, nor a threat to peoples safety.
Nor is he being used to break the law. What justification is there for destroying a family pet, adored by all who know him? This is also on facebook as please help save Beau bear. Beau has a court case 24/01/11 which will determine whether we can get his destruction order revoked.
However this is likely to be adjourned due to lack of evidence. This could happen to any dog off lead should any person choose to accuse them. We ask for negative opinions to be kept off here, being well aware that some of these dogs do attack for whatever reason, and are used for fighting by young men of all races. Our point is that with no witness, no injury and beau's faultless reputation we feel he is being made an example of and is not guilty of any crime. Thank you for reading.
This is an update from yesterday
Good news, today it looks as though the dangerous dog charge may be dropped, after the police officer changed his claim, and the kennel staff gave a glowing reference of beau's character. Now it's just a case of fighting the banned dog charge, as they are now back to claiming he's a pitbull looking dog. Any advice greatly appreciated! It's going to magistrates court on 8th feb.

I am sure all parties involved will give all interested and supportive parties an update as soon as it is appropriate to do so 
?
so I doubt this case will be done and dusted very soon either.
