"I am making this petition to help save my friend’s three dogs – Lady, Izzy and Diva. They were taken off him by the RSPCA on Monday 19th December 2016 due to reports that he was 'abusing' them. This is totally untrue! They are large American Bull Dog cross Labrador dogs and were rescued by him. All three dogs were taken because Mike, the owner, was disciplining one of them as part of his training process. I have witnessed these smacks and they are not hard, and the dogs show no signs of pain. All three dogs have brilliant personalities, brilliant coats, brilliant teeth, and are all in beautiful condition and anyone who knows them can tell they are loved and loving. These dogs help their owner, who has suffered from mental health illness in the past, accomplish his day-to-day tasks of a normal working man! Since owning his dogs he has never suffered with any mental illness. These are three innocent dogs that the RSPCA are threatening to destroy based on their looks and breed, which they are putting down to being as Pit Bull Type, without any blood testing! They are not aggressive and have never been reported for aggressive behaviour; they are simply loving dogs. Please take the time to fill out and share this petition to help my friend save his girls and get them home where they belong."
