• Dear Betty White, Brad Pitt, Katherine Heigl, Alicia Silverstone, Martha Stewart, Rachael Ray, Jon Stewart, Madonna, Linda Blair, Jennifer Aniston, Bernadette Peters, and other dog lovers,
•
• A disabled child and her service dog need your help asap.
•
• Brooke Barnes is a 13 year old girl in Belfast, Ireland. Her dog, Lennox, was taken from her home in May 2010 because "he looks like a pit bull." He is an American Bulldog and Labrador mix. He has been isolated, left to sit in his own feces in a concrete cell hidden away from the world for two years now while the Barnes family have had to share their plight and go through legislation hierarchy in Ireland in order to get Brooke's dog back. Lennox is Brooke's "bestest friend."
•
• He is NOT a dangerous dog according to dog trainer experts Victoria Stilwell and Cesar Millan.
•
• In fact, Lennox was at home with his family when officials from the Belfast city Council came to visit and seized him because "he looked like a pit bull." He never showed any sign of aggression. He was mostly at home, muzzled and leashed when taken out in public, microchipped, neutered and in good health.
•
• Now Lennox and Brooke's health are both failing due to this long ordeal. And another Judge has ordered that Lennox be destroyed, based on the testimony of a Dog Warden. There are photos of this Dog Warden with Lennox showing him licking her in the face (see link to article below for proof).

• Clearly, Lennox needs to GO HOME. He is not a danger to anyone. And Brooke and his family need him to be safe.
•
• Can you please help Lennox GO HOME?
•
• Thank you.
•
• Sincerely,
