Target: Chief Constable Andy Marsh, Avon and Somerset Police, Bristol, United Kingdom
Goal: Ensure that Kylo the dog is not put down by police after protecting his owners from an angry and violent mob.
A Staffie/Labrador mix named Kylo saved the lives of his owners in Bristol, UK, and now may be put down by the police. Kylo’s owners, an unnamed couple in their twenties, were attacked by a mob of 20 men when their faithful dog came to the rescue. The attack occurred at the couple’s home—the men reportedly believed it was the home of a pedophile to whom they intended to send their angry and brutal message. Despite the fact that he no longer lived there, the mob did not stop their violence and brutality. They attacked the couple instead.
The thugs spat on the 24-year-old woman and beat the 25-year-old man, breaking his nose and a rib, before Kylo managed to run them off. However, in the aftermath, Kylo was unable to distinguish that the police who arrived were trying to help, and allegedly bit two of the officers. Police have now seized him and are threatening to put him down. Kylo is a hero who saved his family. Sign below to demand that his life be spared.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Chief Constable Marsh,
A Bristol couple was attacked by an angry and violent mob, and their lives were saved by their dog, Kylo. The attackers, heedless of the fact that their true target no longer lived at the house that now belongs to the couple, spat on the woman and laid into the man, breaking his nose and ribs. Kylo ran them off, but in the confusion that followed Kylo—unable to tell that police were not another threat—allegedly bit two officers. Now, Kylo has been taken by your police force, who want to put him down.
Kylo is a hero who saved an innocent couple from violence. He could not have known that the police were there to help. This dog and his owners should not be punished with such cruel finality for their bravery in the face of brutality and violence. I urge you to ensure that Kylo is not put down, and is returned to his owners.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
Please don’t put this dog down for being a hero! And why in God’s name did y’all go after the dog anyway? Evidently he was still in protection mode of his owners and probably traumatized in the process and still scared that they had returned to do more damage to his home and parents who he loves. It was your own fault you got bit so call it what it is…stupidity on your part in this situation. Grow up and see your mistake and give Kylo back to his family. PLEASE!
Couldn’t have said it better!! Your own fault for going after kylo, what did you expect.he was doing what he was suppose to do.leave him the hell alone.ppl can be so stupid! Unbelievable, my heart aches for him and his family.hope police come to their senses and his safe and returned.
And Animal Petition Site…PLEASE KEEP US UPDATED ON KYLO AND HIS SITUATION?! AND to KYLO’S PARENTS…DON’T GIVE UP ON YOUR PRECIOUS FURBABY…BE AS LOYAL TO HIM AS HE WAS TO YOU! NEVER STOP FIGHTING FOR HIM.
AND TO THE POLICE OFFICER’S THAT WERE INVOLVED SHAME ON YOU! YOU SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER THAN TO APPROACH A DOG WHO HAD TO HAVE BEEN TRAUMATIZED BY THIS SITUATION AS HE DID SOMETHING THAT WENT AGAINST HIS TEACHING AND HAD TO ATTACK TO SAVE HIS FAMILY! HE’S A HERO! GIVE HIM AN AWARD FOR BRAVERY IN THE FACE OF DANGER. HELL HE DESERVES A MEDAL OF HONOR!!!????
Why would you? He was doing his job, where were you?
No, they should not kill the dog!! He was just protecting his family and is heroic!!
PLEASE Don’t KILL THE DOG. HE WAS PROTECTING HIS “FAMILY” …I’m sorry Its confusing. He saw the Police Officers and was still just wanting to Protect. Sincerely Joanna Campbell
This dog Should not be killed for protecting it’s owners.
I’m not going to say harsh words or belittle be where knowledge about the circumstances are so little. But maybe having a hero party for the dog is in order instead of putting him down. The police around the world are trained to know such situations and how to react. Dear sirs are we in need of a follow up class. If he were your dog you would be praising him. Which is what you should be doing now. Don’t let negligence and lack of education put down an animal that did your job until you could get there.
Leave the dog alone. Doing what hes supposed to. Protecting his family
The dog does not deserve to die he was protecting his family. Let him live and be with his family. My dog would do the same thing for me thats what dogs do for their owners protect us.
Kylo is a hero. He was protecting his family. He was doing what was right and shpuld NOT be punished.
When someone breaks into their home and.beats them and their are 20 to 2.and their dog comes.to their rescue that’s ridiculous to take the pup! They broke into his house that’s his right to defend his family take the 20 thugs and jail and put them down!!! They WERE in The WRONG NOT The DOG! If they broke into the officers homes the officers would have killed some of them so why shouldn’t the pet protect his family!; It’s time the DOGS ate treated with respect!!! It was his home they came into it’s not like he was running loose and he didn’t Kno when the police came in that they weren’t part of the scumbag thugs!!
Isnt that one of the reasons we have dogs, for protection!?
Give This Fur Baby Kylo, Back To His Owners… He Is A HERO…
Please don’t harm this dog for protecting his family. He thought he was doing the right thing protecting who he was suppose to.
How ridiculous to punish the dog and family. Show some goodness to the world please.
Is there any updates for brave Kylo?
Why dont the police spend their resources and money on finding and prosecuting the real villains here !!! The dog did what most dogs would do in protecting its owners and your going to kill the dog for that ??and you wonder why you get such bad press.Do the right thing and give them back their beautiful loyal friend
So ridiculous to blame the dog he is a hero !!! So what if police got bit the dog didn’t know they weren’t there to do harm.Grow a brain for Gods sake and use it, seriously !!! This dog was protectig his owners.Police should know to be more cautious in a situation like this.This dog does not deserve to die.Get real !!!!!
He was only doing his job he didn’t know they were police. He felt threatened they were gonna hurt his family. Please dont kill him he didn’t know any better. Please find a place in your heart and save him. Please
I understand the concerns of the officers IF Kylo was a harm to others but that is not the case. He was protecting his people and rather than further punish this couple who has already been traumatized let them keep their hero safe with them. Without Kylo this could have been murders being investigated. Is anything being done to bring the true villains to justice or is all about the 2 officers who got wrongly bit in an obviously confusing and chaotic time? If the situation was the wife defending her husband or vice versa and accidentally hit an officer then would they be penalized for a mistake in protecting themselves and their loved ones?
