Rex case delayed until October

Still no solution for Manx rescue dog

The case of Rex the rescue dog has been adjourned until October.

Rex was reported to the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture by a Manx vet early last year, over concerns he might be a banned pit bull type breed.

It was subsequently dealt with by a UK Home Office expert.

The case was not taken up by the Crown Prosecution Service, but police in Essex continued to hold the animal in quarantine while appeals were settled.
