"Royal Dog Sent to Psychologist to Avoid Death Sentence"

[DJFyrewolf36]

I have never known bull terriers to be aggressive...and Corgis are tough little dogs...its hard to believe that it didn't at least INJURE the offending bull terrier. You'd think that in a dog to dog altercation, the attacker would have some sign...a bite or a scratch or something. They said that they blamed another dog at first for the attack...
Am I wrong here?

I just read an article about this in People magazine. (Ok, not the most credible source, I know.)

It said the corgi's leg was broken in three places by the bull terrier's bite, and that the corgi was euthanized the next day. It did not mention any other injuries.

Has anyone else heard anything along these lines?

I can't imagine euthanizing a dog because of a broken leg. If worst came to worst, amputate the leg. Or were there other injuries to the corgi that just weren't mentioned?

Actually, bull terriers are a breed generally known to not get along with other dogs particularly well.

Thanks twisterdog...

Ive just never encountered an overly agressive bull terrier...then again Ive only encountered them singularly. Perhaps it was just another dog making it agressive. Youre right though, why euthanize a dog for a busted leg? Don't they have methods to repair that rather easily? Ya think the Royal family would be able to aford it...

Unfortunately I have the same source as you Twisterdog (but I love to read People magazine--it's a horrible addiction ), but I was wondering the same thing. Couldn't the leg have been amputated, and the dog's life spared??
