Mayor of Hume: Save Lilla from a life behind bars

My dog Lilla isn’t just my best friend, she’s probably saved my life. I’m chronically ill, and I rely Lilla to help me every day. Lilla is trained to assist me when I collapse, and ensures my very safety by rolling me over, waking me up and helping me back to bed.

But in late 2011, despite having no evidence, my local council decided that Lilla was a restricted breed (a pit-bull cross) and therefore “dangerous”. They’re demanding that I keep her locked in a cage or muzzled for the rest of her life -- even though it would take away my best friend and possibly put my life in danger.

A vet and a leading dog judge have both testified that she doesn’t meet the requirements for a pit-bull cross any more than any other dog -- she’s actually an American Staffy.
