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]
No, the dog is innocent
The dog dosent know they were ? is stupid he was saving his owners
He only did what he thought was right
The dog can’t tell in a stressful situation that they were cops. Please concentrate on the low lifes that put the dog in this situation. This is why in my house SMITH & WESSON rule my pup wouldn’t have to save me i will be doing the saves.
Thats fucked up. Its not like the dog knew they were cops. If yall euthanize that dog, you’re no better than the people who made the dog attack in the first place. If yall euthanize him, yall should be shot in the head?
The dog doesn’t deserve to die. He was only protecting his owners and thought the police were there to cause harm.
I bet if it was any other kind of dog they would giving him an award medal because it’s a pitbull they want to euthanize him I’m so sorry and I hope that they don’t get that chance to do that my prayers are with you
Please protect and do not put their protector to sleep
Please protect this Angel like he protected his owners
He is a sweetheart, he wanted to protect his owners. The attack overwhelmed him who thought everyone should be nice like his owners. The police should arrest the mob rather than kill Kylo.
Is there an update? What is Kylos status? Please say he is back home with his family.
This is wrong…please reconsider, this family has been traumatized already don’t add to it.
Don’t kill him he’s was protecting his family just as you would do!!!!
Dog saved his family should not be put down for a mistake. The police dont go to jail for theirs
This poor dog was only defending his family leave him alone
Please save kylo.
He was doing what God made him to do, be man’s best friend. Please don’t kill him. He was only doing his duty just like police officers. We don’t kill cops for accidentally arresting or shooting/tazing the wrong person while they protect us so why should we kill a dog for doing the same thing??
The dog was duty what he or she was suppose to do. When they came up , the dog was still in protection mode. They should know this. I guess they need more training especially with all dogs
Do not kill this innocent animal for protecting his family.
Heart breaking
