Wanted: Fairy Dog-mother for Lennox


Where knowledge ends, violence begins.


Lennox is a 6 year old black boy who was taken from his home by an official illegally; he has no contact with his family since 19th May 2010. He has also suffered from some unexplained injuries while he has been held against everyone’s wishes on a bed of sawdust.


Disgusted yet?

This hasn’t happened in a far off country, this has happened in Belfast.

On 11/11/11 when some people are celebrating the weirdness of the date, 12 year old Brooke will be wondering if her best friend will die.



Disgusted yet?

Is this enough prejudice for you?

Ill give you some more then. Think about this for a bit then will you? Lennox is being held because of what he looks like, not what he is.

Lennox had his legs and nose measured with a run-off-the-mill dressmaking tape measure and there the decision was taken to remove him from the house.

Lennox was seized under the Dangerous Dogs (NI) Order 1991. The measurements were used as proof that Lennox is a banned Pit Bull Terrier; incidentally, those measurements could also condemn a Labrador….



When Lennox was a baby, his very responsible owners had him neutered, licensed, insured, DNA registered, Pet Safe registered and micro chipped. Lennox is actually a Labrador crossed with and American Bull dog and as a point of interest, when Lennox’s brother was adopted his paperwork shows him to be a Lab cross.

Not just one suffering

Caroline Barnes is not only concerned about the health and welfare of her beloved dog, but her daughter Brooke’s health also. Brooke who is registered disabled has lost her best friend and is so distraught that even her specialist Doctor and Belfast

Royal Hospital for Sick Children said how Lennox being away was having a negative affect on her well-being.

I’ve signed the petition at http://www.savelennox.co.uk/ because I care. Not just about a girl I’ve never met in a country I’ve never been too or a dog I’ve never had a slobby kiss from, but because it’s right to make a stand.

At the beginning, when the thought crossed that I was talking about a child, how politically motivated did you feel? Do you think dogs don’t have feelings?



Lennox has not bitten, attacked or put a paw out of place in all of this. It is very easy to rectify the situation but no government official seems to have the balls to be the fairy godmother and right this wrong.

Fancy a quick quiz?
