Some people were saying he could have gone to the South of Ireland, where the law doesn't exist concerning bull type dogs.
The new law when it comes into effect will allow the dog to be housed at its own address until the matter is sorted, but I know this is too late for Lennox and others.
What was Lennox accused of in the first place?

If this dog really has been suffering as has been suggested by some (poor condition, injuries, bleeding paws etc) for 2 yrs while the owners tried to 'get off on a technicality' rather than having concrete grounds to appeal - well I do not admire their tenacity.
Most dog lovers would rather take the dreadful decision to have their dog PTS rather than let it suffer for a much shorter period than two years if it was ill. And they would be supported and admired for 'doing the right thing for the dog' and not prolonging the dog's suffering by putting their own feelings first. The kindest decision and all that.
Real sad story for everyone involved but I feel it was a bit of a point to be proved from the council/court's side

Statement By Lennox’s Family
By Save Lennox On June 13, 2012 · Leave a Comment
Wednesday 13th June 2012
We would like to thank everyone for the countless messages that we have received in the last 24 hours during what is a very difficult time for our family and for the support we have had from so many since Lennox was seized in 2010. The past two years have been extremely distressing for many reasons and we appreciate that this has been a very emotive case for dog lovers worldwide who have spoken out against the failings of Breed Specific Legislation. We take some comfort in the knowledge that we are not the only ones to be devastated by the recent ruling. We are in talks with our legal team and will make another statement in due course.
Thank you
