Biting dog given `canine ASBO'
by Sam Southgate
A PRIZE-WINNING show dog that twice attacked a jogger near Selby has been given a "canine Asbo" - and will be put down if it breaches it.
The order was issued by Selby magistrates after they heard how former Crufts winner Flametrees Obeche At Khananga, known as Obe, had savaged runner Celia Evans.
His owner, Keith Dunn, 62, of Main Road, Drax, now has to follow the order or the Rhodesian ridgeback will be destroyed.
Under the suspended destruction order the dog cannot enter a one kilometre exclusion zone around Ms Evans' home or use her favourite jogging route.
Prosecuting barrister Henry Trory, for Selby District Council, told the court the dog attacked Ms Evans as she ran along Pear Tree Avenue, in Long Drax. The attack happened on October 5 when the dog, which was not on a lead, ran 60 yards to attack her as Dunn was returning to his car.
Mr Trory said: "She looked up and she saw the dog running towards her. She said the dog did not seem to be taking any notice of Dunn, who was calling it."
The dog bit her on her left arm and on her right leg.
She suffered bite marks and bruising and was given a course of antibiotics at Goole Hospital.
Dunn had previously admitted owning a dog dangerously out of control in a public place.
The incident mirrored an earlier attack on October 10, 2004, when Ms Evans was running on a path near Drax Power Station.
Melanie Dunn, who was walking the dog off its lead, was later issued with a court order telling her to keep Obe under control.
Keith Haggerty, defending, said Obe had previously shown no signs of aggression in busy public places.
The stud dog won a category in its breed at world-famous dog show Crufts in 2002, and notched up a second place in 2005 and a third place in 2003.
Dogs of the pedigree breed can fetch up to £800 a time in stud fees, and are sometimes used up to 30 times.
Catherine Davis, chairwoman of the Rhodesian Ridgeback Club of Great Britain, told magistrates she had seen Obe at dozens of shows, but never seen him behave aggressively.
Presiding magistrate Janet Childs said the Bench viewed Obe as a "danger to the public" following the two attacks.
She said: "Our overriding concern is the protection of the public, and it cannot be said beyond doubt whether Obe will attack again."
Other conditions of the order are that the dog must always wear a lead and a muzzle when in public places.
She ordered Dunn to pay a fine of £250 and prosecution costs of £350. |

they should have put the bloody thing down - and all its relatives - dogs are nothing better than pests - a pain in the ar*e that civilized society shouldnt have to put up with, we can go in smoke free pubs (soon) but cant walk along dog free pavements - its a disgrace

How would your 'civilised society' go about telling a blind man his guide dog is to be put down?
Dogs are a good example of how we live in a civilised society: Guide Dogs, Police Dogs, Sniffer Dogs, Rescue Dogs, Guard Dogs, etc.

Surely he'd just guess when the lead went limp?

Until they bring back the death penalty(which they should), there should be no law allowing the destruction of any animal unless the said animal is terminally ill and it is unfair on the creature to keep it alive.

Then they'd be treated better than humans...

Theres a quite big news story about that baby at the moment, who are we to choose whats unfair and not? For all we know the animal doesn't know its ill, i had a stray cat that was all happy when it had cat AIDs or something, then we had to put it down, i'd say thats a bit unfair on the cat.

Personally I hate dogs - always have - and I wouldn't be gutted if they all got Asian Dog Flu and dropped dead.
Particularly the big fat one I went out with for 3 years ....
