Hi All,

 

Just got sent this http://www.videxgsd.com/sos__save_our_saxon.htm if anyone feels like sending them a quick email, it might help them to think twice about putting down a German Shepherd who has done his time in the Police force.

 

Vijay

Hopefully the public pressure will pay off? go Saxon boy!

email sent.... also listed on the PW forum as well.... should get a great responce.

 

also dont you think that if a criminal kills a police dog they are charged with murdering a officer.... hmmmm whats differant.

 

I am appalled by this.

I think it fecking descusting behaviour by the police to do this... Would they terminate the life of one of there officers when they get to the end of there service... I think not!!! Tried to e-mail but everytime i click the link it's asking me to log on with a password????

thats a very harsh post dog - most people are just being sympathetic.

 

' in which case they wear a muzzle in public - although uncomfortable its still better than being destroyed'

 

Regards,

I agree if the dog has history of being unpredictable i see no reason why the dog cant wear a muzzle in public, its law for ex racing grayhounds to wear a muzzle due to the training they have which is inhanced basic instinct to a dog to chase and kill.

 

if a muzzle saves saxon's life so be it, i cant believe these callus *******s are the very ones we are meant to respect.....not anymore

 

email sent too

HELP

 

SAXONS FATE IS TO BE TOLD TOMORROW

 

Dear All,

Firstly my sincere apologies for this impersonal E mail but as you will understand - we are up to our necks in this matter.

 

UPDATE;

Mike has been summoned ! to the Police Federation office at New Inn, Pontypool Gwent at 3 PM Monday 7th August.

Here he is to be TOLD the decision made by Gwent Police as to Saxons fate.

 

Mike has had information from a trusted source that the powers to be are to sell Saxon to the Prison Service and that he is to become a Prison Dog!

We thank everyone for their help in SAVING SAXONS LIFE, but it does not end here...

 

HOWEVER;

 

Prison Dogs have to be assessed and pass the SAME Home Office assessment as that of a Police Dog with the exception of Tracking.

 

This therefore begs numerous questions as to the Forces integrity intentions and past statements with regards to Saxon.

 

The most pertinent one being; If his license has been withdrawn and not to be re-issued as a Police Dog how then can this 'dangerous dog' be licensed with the Prison Service?

 

Saxon will be expected to adapt to another handler, however it takes time to know him and what makes him tick.

There is no guarantee that will in fact be 'acceptable' in Saxon's mind, as no - one can take Mikes place in his eyes. Of that I'm certain and that is what makes Saxon so unique. Mike and Sax have formed a strong and absolute 'bond', which I feel quite certain that perhaps allot of married couples never aspire to?

 

Mike learnt the hard way, during the first year - and paid the price by being bitten by him on his thumb

MY PERSONAL BELIEF in Sax is unmeasurable and beyond words..... What if this VERY REALISTIC REALITY were to happen again as his new handler was learning Saxon's unique ways?

 

Then Saxon would be once again on death row for no reason at all - other than people not understanding him.

This surely appears to be 'perhaps' irresponsible on behalf of the Police Force in my opinion. (Some may PERHAPS GO AS FAR TO SUGGEST CRIMINAL?) What health and safety issues and risk assessment has been done in this regard?

 

We, as a family, have offered and fought Saxons corner for him to retire here at home with us where his future is one of sofas, fireplaces, 18 1/2 acres of secure playground, care, protection, and GENUINE UNCONDITIONAL LOVE for who he is and WHAT he has done FOR US ALL.

 

The only reason One can think is that the Gwent Force have decided to place him with the Prison Service which is one of pure vindictiveness, jealousy and absolute cowardice against Mike. SHAME ON YOU.

 

Police Dog Kye was recently saved from death row and is now living at home with his handler.

Police Dog Baz retired with his handler.

Police dog Fitz retired with his handler.

Police Dog Shadow retired and lived with his handler

Police Dog Jake retired and lived with his handler

 

The list goes on and on, Do I need to say any more.

 

Believe you me the WHOLE story will come out, however we have to be careful as to how much we release at this point on the advise of our legal team.

 

Many thanks for bearing with us, the truth once released will astound you all (of that I have absolutely no doubt).

 

People will argue that we only want Saxon to further our Business interest, to use him as a stud?

Fine well let them, yes we do breed and supply dogs for a wide range of tasks from Police dogs to family pets.

 

We have been open and upfront about the whole issue, all the way through this AND WITH CONSENT FROM GWENT POLICE THEMSELVES; who have given our business consent over five / six years ago. (What an irony I'm left thinking.)

 

We are prepared (and always have been) to offer SAXON a good SAFE home life, where he is with the one person who he admires, loves and is totally committed to.

 

Gwent Polices 'unofficial' and 'covert' tactics are sadly nothing new to me

 

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

How you can help.

 

We need as many EXPERTS ( legal,Dog World,Media) as possible, to accompany me to this meeting so that we all can make representations as to our concerns over Saxons fate, and in order that Saxon resumes his rightful place at home with a good HARD WORKING AND COMMITTED man and his family he implicitly respects, trusts and loves UNCONDITIONALLY.

 

 

PLEASE HELP US SAVE OUR SAXON.

 

Many Thanks, to every one that has helped our transparent reason for this campaign and I feel perhaps the Police' seemingly ridiculous behaviour can begin to be seen (by the Public.) THIS 'RIDICULOUS BEHAVIOUR APPEARS MORE AND MORE TRANSPARENT THROUGHOUT THIS WHOLE IMMORAL VENDETTA.

 

So much for 'CERTAIN caring men', WHO, AS TAX PAYERS HOLD ACCOUNTABILITY TO EVERY ONE OF US.

 

The meeting will take place at the Police Federation Office at 9 THE HIGHWAY, NEW INN, PONTYPOOL GWENT NP4 OPW

Telephone 01633 642299.

 

My name is Caroline and I will be representing Mike at this 'fast -tracked meeting', which Mike was 'invited' to attend tomorrow. Short notification I know - but this 'agenda' was clearly planned prior AND WAS NOT KNOWN TO OURSELVES UNTIL FRIDAY at 1pm?

 

MY APOLOGIES FOR THIS FACT,

 

I cannot thank -you enough for the kindness shown. I look forward to meeting you there, and ask that you can reply to this mail and also FORWARD IT ON to as many EXPERTS and interested paries as possible.

 

Caroline Townley.

If the dog is to be sold then surely in the interests of the Gwent Taxpayers the Vendors must accept the highest price for him. The selling price must be a matter of public record, if some one / group / organisation were to make a higher offer for the dog then this must be accepted

If a dog is being retired from active duty how can you sell it to do more duties. It's done it's bit for the Gwent Taxpayers as an active policedog for 4 years. MMMMMM something not quite right here I fear.

this is a BLOODY ANIMAL not a robot. Its a living breathing thing with feelings!! Do people not give a crap about that. Saxons owners/handlers are his family and they are prepared to just take him away from them. damn them. Hes done his graft now let him have the happy life he deserves.

 

Im sick of this government/authorities they use and abuse everyone and everything to get as much money and work out of them as they can. Its a shame Saxon cant claim benefits and be an idle git, then the state would pay for him to have a lap of luxury

 

Ill stop now as i could get carried away

Just to keep you updated and thanks to everyone who sent emails :) http://www.gwentpa.police.uk/pa/press/saxon.asp

They recommended he goes to a working enviroment, he's not aloud to got to the ex-handlers family who have campaigned to keep him. At least he isn't being put down, and will be working and staying healthy now.
