A Candle Light Vigil for Bruce

On 23rd July 2009 I attended a Candle Light Vigil for Bruce at Millbank, London, along with many other people who are uniting to try to save Bruce's life. Bruce is an innocent Staffordshire Bull Terrier who is condemned to death in Northern Ireland because he resembles a banned pit bull terrier. The world is waiting for a happy ending and I believe the only way that may happen is if we continue to share Bruce's plight and the plight of other dogs who have been sentenced to death under the unfair and cruel Breed Specific Legislation/Dangerous Dog Act laws.

@XxbritpupxX Yes he's doing great apparently, I've been receiving updates on the EGAR facebook page and there's some lovely pics of him on there too, he's passing his assessments for rehoming with flying colours :) xx

@stoatsiana Bruce was freed a few days ago and is in safe, caring hands :) xx

[rockinfortheplanet]

@stoatsiana, yes there was a hearing on 9th March and apparently there will be a further hearing, it seems to be taking an age, very sad. I will try to post any updates here and if you're on facebook there are groups there where you can keep informed. Thanks for your message.

I cant belive the government havent let bruce go home this story bought a tear to my eye. This is proof that people need to be educated about bull terrier breeds. Take ceasar milan for example his dog daddy is the most placid dog ever like most bt's and it goes to show that its not the breed of dog but how you raise and train your dog that counts. Please save bruce if its not too late

Dear Duane, thanks for your lovely comment, there is no news on Bruce at the moment since the appeal went to court on 14th Sept but we are hoping any day now for an update, I'll let you know if we hear anything in UK.

Best wishes

Great vid Maria! Do you know if they did let this dog go back home?

I absolutely love this song and I hope so much that Bruce is saved and can live the rest of his life with his owner. It's so great what you do.
