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]
Good grief, this dog is a hero! This was a chaotic situation so how can anyone expect the dog to know the difference between the good guys and the bad guys. Kylo’s owners were the victims of a brutal assault and they certainly don’t deserve to be victimized again by killing their dog.
This dog is a hero… you don’t put a dog down for being a hero. He did the job of police. You save this dog and give him a metal for saving his humans.
SALUTING, INDEED~!!!! WELL SAID, STUPID COPS, TYPE IN SEARCH BROWSER “”COPS KILL DOGS””” YOU WILL CRAP~!!!!!!!
For God’s sake Police use some common sense here. This dog is a hero.
Yes I am sorry that he mistook police and hurt officers but people have also done this in a fight and hit the wrong person. Mind you most dogs have more compassion and courage than the average human being! My rottweiler saved my life when an intruder was entering my upstairs window with a balaclava on at 2.30am. I would die for my dog. No-one will take my dog away from me.
Have some compassion and return him to his owners. Haven’t these people been through enough.
I hope you don’t treat brave police dogs in this way. Easy way out just kill him.
My message is from Australia. Respect for all God’s Creatures Great and Small.
I can’t believe they’re even considering this?! What the hell is wrong with these morons? We should cherish the heros in our communities, not punish them. The police are a joke.
Long live Kylo, you are a true HERO!xxx
WHAT’S WRONG WITH PEOPLE? THIS DOG MUST BE SAVED…NOT KILLED

The dog saved his family from what could have been a fatal attack!! He is a Hero! Dogs cant distinguish a police officers uniform. How cowardly and ignorantly callous of the Bristol police to seize the dog and want to put him down.
This dog should be homored!! Shame on Bristol pilice for wanting to have a hero killed….. thats just showing the world how criminal the police force is!
ARE YOU KIDDING IS THERE NO IQ HERE, THIS WAS AN ATTACK AND YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT KILLING THE DOG WHO WAS DOING WHAT A DOG WOULD DO WHEN DANGER WAS IN HIS HOME. SORRY YOU GOT BIT BUT YOU DIDN’T GET KILLED. AND AT THAT POINT THE DOG WAS BESIDE HIMSELF. YOU HAD OTHER OPTIONS AND BELIEVE ME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YOU HAD BETTER NOT KILL THAT DOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOUR JOB IS TO GET THE ””’MOB”” AND MAKE THAT PAY FOR THE CRIME. THAT DOG IS FAMILY AND YOU BETTER NOT KILL THE FAMILY DOG. WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH YOUR IQ, THE DOG WAS BEING A HERO. SNAP OUT OF YOU SELF AND GET REAL. DON’T TOUCH THE DOG.

LETS REMEMBER, A SCARED OR INJURED DOG, NEEDS PROFESSIONAL INTERVENTION, NOT TV WATCHING MORONS, WHO NOW THINK THEY TOO ARE WHISPERERS, LMFAO~!!!!! IDIOT HUMANS, I WISHED THE VOLGONS WOULD HURRY UP & ARRIVE~!!!!!!!!!
The police should be happy they only had two officers get bit and not have met up with a angry mob!! This dog help save a lot of them too. This dog is a hero!! Sorry for the police that can’t have any compassion for out of control situations!!!
I can’t believe the police are so stupid. When did they get the power to hurt people? I thought they were to protect and serve, they must be angry that this dog did what they are paid to do. They were probably busy giving someone a speeding ticket.
That dog is a hero. And should get a Medal of Honor. Dogs or humans in a rage to protect there family members make mistakes. Even police officers make mistakes and there not put to sleep.
COME ON COPS, DOG DID YOUR JOB, CUT HIM A BREAK MATES~!!!! LEARN ANIMAL DE ESCALATION AND WE WILL HELP YOU MATES WITH CASH FOR YOUR PAIN, COME ON MATES, THEM MAGGOTS WHO ATTACKED, RUN THEM WITH INJURY OF AN OFFICER AND VIOLATING RIGHTS, NOT POOR SWEET DOGGY~!!!!!!
Leave this dog alone. He was just protecting his family.
UK govt recently claimed animals have no emotions, cannot feel pain. UK about as compassionate as Asia.
This dog did a great service and protected his family from vile and angry mob. How can anyone have this dog put down. This should not happen and Kylo deserves a medal for his heroic action against 20 people who were going to hurt his family. If not for Kylo what do you think could have happened to this couple? DO NOT KILL THIS DOG FOR PROVIDING A HEROIC ACT on behalf of his family/owners. It’s also understandable how Kylo after such an emotional and hectic confrontation couldn’t distinguish the GOOD GUYS FROM THE BAD. It’s not the dog’s fault and this should be overlooked considering the incident at hand. Afterall, he is a dog who can’t shut down right away like a human could. If the UK kills this dog, you will have made a HUGE MISTAKE. Kylo DOESN’T DESERVE TO DIE, if anything those mob people are the one’s who are WRONG AND SHOULD BE PUNISHED NOT KYLO!!
Kylo was in his “protect my family” mode – all geared up to save them at all costs. He could not distinguish police from attackers. He deserves a medal for his bravery – not a death penalty.
He is a dog. Do you expect him to know the difference between a cop and a thug? He was in protect mode and doing his job. It’s terrible two officers were bitten but he’s just a dog. Killing him for protecting his family is crime. Leave him alone. Give him back to his family.
Already signed another, and signed again with this petition.
Kylo saved his owners’ lives, and was still in protection mode when the police arrived. They should realize this and spare this hero dog’s life. The police should be looking for the violent vigilante MOB that set this in motion. They’re far more dangerous than Kylo.
I sent a VERY RESPECTFUL communication to the Avon and Somerset Police Dept asking to PLEASE consider the facts and not look at the breed. Kylo deserves an award for protecting his people.
Maybe if they hear from more of us, they’ll know we care.

There’s a form you can fill out. PLEASE be respectful.
THAT IS THE REASON THERE IS SO MUCH EVIL. THE CRIMINALS EITHER DON’T GET PUNISHED OR THEY WILL GET A SLAP ON THE WRIST.IF THE DOG IS TO BE PUT DOWN, I HOPE HE TORE THOSE MONSTERS TO SHREDS.
This is incredible that this is even happening to this heroic dog!!! Who would even consider putting down this dog after he fought off these thugs! Of course he just didn’t stop when the police came in, you think he recognized the uniform and instantly knew to stop? NO OF COURSE NOT!!!
Kylo did his job well in protecting his humans. He did not know the police from the violent mob attacking his family. I hope Kylo did a good job in tearing into all those evil people he could. Shame on them for harming innocent people & now Kylo. These evil people need to be charged for their violence & it is to bad that Kylo has now been taken from his family. He does not understand why & needs to be returned right now to his family. Do not put him down or keep him from his family as he was only doing what any good dog would do to keep his family safe.
