HALIFAX WANTS TO KILL MY DOG!
On July 24, 2008, my dog Brindi was seized and put on death row. When I adopted her in 2007 she was four. She passed obedience class, but then had a few scrapes with other dogs on our property line. Most resulted in no injuries. She’s never bit a person. In an unheard of move, the city muzzled her and called her dangerous, without charging me a fine. I apologized, gated the exits, built a dog run, and hired a private trainer, but Halifax would not give her back. I hired a behavioral expert, who found Brindi highly trainable. The city ignored the results. I paid thousands to get the euthanization order quashed. But the city ignored this too, and kept Brindi in the pound, then charged me with 3 by-law violations, first ever, keeping her throughout, without proper legal authority. The trial stretched out till spring 2010. I didn’t get Brindi back until July. About two months later Halifax took her again after another incident in front of my property – again minor injuries only - and again, she did not bite people even though they kicked her in the head and stomach! The city refused all offers to release her pending trial, including adoption and removal from the country. The trial is now Nov. 8-9. I am defending myself and Brindi, alone. (click photo)

Dearest Francesca
I was out all day yesterday and picked up your tel. message when I returned home. I had asked Beatty if I rec'd any calls and because he wanted to surprise me, he said 'no'.
What a glorious surprise!! Thanks to God, Brindi's Mom and all Brindi's Angels.
We love you!!!
Your Montreal Friends,
Carol, Beatty and

I hope this means Brindi will be coming home.
What is the latest news?
Good question, Fox Mange...
You are right, it will not be over till Brindi is home. And even then, if what I have seen elsewhere is any guide, it will not be over in the eyes of some.
Nevertheless, Francesca has raised the bar for the bond between humans and dogs. Equally important, she has raised the bar for human decency, kindness and tenaciousness. What a lesson we all have learned from her. What a hero she is. And she could not have done it without the help of HRM and SPCA-NS.
What's sad, though, is that Brindi has needlessly lost two years of her life, and so many other dogs needlessly died at the hands of HRM in the meantime, and before.
I hope the good people of Nova Scotia take note of what just happened, not for the sake of their dogs, but for the sake of all those things that are important to them.
ETM
