Anne becomes first Royal to have a criminal record.

Princess Royal fined £500 after her dog bites two children

The court heard from dog psychologist Dr Roger Mugford that the three–year–old dog should not be put down.

Dr Mugford, who has also treated some of the Queen's corgis after they bit her, said Dotty was "an utterly placid, playful dog."

"There are lots of things that could be done, whether it be retraining, neutering, muzzling. there is all sort of action that could be taken to tackle the issue."


On the other hand, many animal lovers were gratified to hear the opinion of equine psychologist, Dr. Dicky Fetlock that there was no persuasive evidence that would warrant overturning the Court order to have the Princess Royal put down.

And in news from Australia, some golf loving codger turned 100 today. To mark the occasion his local golf club awarded him life membership. Sad but true story.
