Have just e-mailed the Western Mail about this story and how it is gatherig a lot of Online interest. I shall also post it in the general and political forum I run here http://www.arborwood.com/awforums/show-forum-1.php?fid=8406 Let's hope between all efforts there is a happy outcome.

I work in the film industry, I do not have many news connections but I have today posted this story on a TV industry forum, I am hoping that someone will follow up and want to cover this story. If they do I foresee a quick backtrack by Gwent Police. I will also post on other sites which may give coverage, anyone got press connections?

News- Saxon's story to be taken up by the Guardian, just spoken to them and they are asking for more info. C.

Disgusting. Email sent... forwarded this post to my contacts list too.

UPDATE: Kennel report for the Gwent Police Authority animal welfare scheme 24th July 2006 The purpose of the visit was to see, discuss & put in place recommendations for Saxon, the German Shepherd dog, 5yrs of age. Visit started at 09.30 a.m Saxon was chilled out in his kennel at the time of our visit but we were assured that he has regular walks with the handlers he also has a large kennel & run all spotlessly clean & also access to a large compound for exercise, he is in good condition & very well looked after by the staff. The subject of Saxon being put down was asked & we were told that no decision had been made with regards to this. We have asked for an independent assessment of the dog by a qualified person other than Police personnel & were granted that . When this is done we then want a meeting of all involved to discuss the dogs future. The visitors were happy at the outcome today & look forward in correct decisions in the future. This visit was attended by, Mr E.Crouch, Mr D.Bayliss, Mr L.Morgan Visit finished at 11.30 a.m

Many thanks for keeping us up to date on the fate of Saxon. 5 Years old - that's not a lot for a GSD. We had ours for 13 years (not an ex-police dog however). Please keep fighting folks. Thank goodness the Guardian are taking up the banner. Best wishes Captain Bryn Wayt

Coinops, I have registered on here to get in touch with you. I have had a reporter from the Western Daily Press ringing me up to speak to you about Saxon. Could you please e-mail me your phone number? Many thanks, Quita
