......I knew it was a regular thing in Afghanistan at their markets to fight their dogs to the death.
This story in the mail though commendable does not quite fit. (not to say other stories do).
Wylie, this small very frail dog is said to be a fighting dog? Never IMO. Perhaps fighting to get away when thrown in with a fighting dog. Can you imagine this little mites chances against a PIT BULL or any other fighting dog for that matter?
Anyway, it's a wonderful story thanks to Sarah Singleton and Nowzad and those that might wish to donate( if someone would bring up the link please
). You might even consider donating your self. The appeal address is in the blue box.
From Afghan fighting-dog to a starring role at Crufts: Extraordinary recovery of mongrel rescued by British soldiers in Kandahar
- Mongrel rescued from the streets of Afghanistan to compete in Crufts
- Wylie suffered a severed tail and ears and a stab wound to his chest
Fighting back: Wylie the rescued dog from Afghanistan is preparing to compete at Scruffts with his new owner Sarah Singleton
He was a fighting-dog who endured brutal beatings, had his ears and tail severed and was left for dead on the streets of Afghanistan.
But now the only adversaries Wylie has to worry about are the other crossbreeds at Crufts.

True, we do, but its not as if she went out to get one Mr E. I suppose she bonded with him when out there and so brought him home. I can understand that and would want to do the same. He's a lovely looking dog now, and a happy ending for him. 
Yes, someone cannot understand .... 
Reminds me of that song 'anyone who had a heart' Cilla Black.
Most unlike some have. And no matter where they go it goes with them. They like China and so many other countries as far as i'm aware have no animal welfare thoughts or concerns.
Yes, worth a look at T.I.s, link (thank's T.I.) Quite a good insight on that with hundreds of animal lovers.
Of course we have the ''worst'' rated on the mail comments....and the worst of all at the momment 301 reds! he says:
''WHAT AN UGLY MUTT''
Needles to say he, and some,have come under some ridicule from me and many others (have a look sometime).

I was talking in general.. not just this particular case....
There are charities dedicated to bringing dogs from abroad...... While 100s of dogs here are put to sleep because they are not wanted....
Reason.....
Because a dog rescued from a 9th floor council flat doesn't have the same 'talking' point for the new owner than ...
"Yes he was rescued from a back street butcher in China... He was about to be killed and eaten....
But then the dog on the 9th floor then gets put down....
Oh well, never mind. Like you said: ''someone said the RT is dead'' And I remember that thread too T,I, (yes it went).
Two days ago I started this thread and look only three replies. The amazing fact is there are hundreds ''comments'' on your mail link T,I, I visit it often now. Well it's hardly dead on there.
And it's wonderful that many have donated..And others can see the list if they donate a little. They need it believe me.
Anyway thank you.
Well even on a thread like this! I would normally ignore. But just to give out at least one RED face....
nothing**new. (o) Registered: 31-08-2013. And you know my history???
Yes of course you do I know your history too.
'Sheer Desperation, forrins, as someone esle pointed out'? (Oh, it was someone else )
I wonder if some try thinking first? But obviously not. They might even reaslise how obvious it is?
'live in squalor, animal credentials' ? What on earth is he/she/ on about?
I know it's a RANT!
Yes I would say it's sheer desperation of a CERTAIN section of RT posters .... ENJOY! ^
