Overview
- Freddy Brazier was treated in hospital for a 3cm wound to his arm after his pocket bully, Pablo, bit him during a separate incident that also injured his 69-year-old grandmother Jackiey Budden.
- Police took Pablo into custody following the attacks amid warnings the dog could be destroyed unless a suitable outcome was found.
- Freddy’s ex-partner Holly Swinburn says her mother found a new home for Pablo, that his microchip was changed to register the new owner, and that the dog is now living away from Brazier.
- Friends and family have said Brazier had seven days to present a case to save Pablo and arranged for a specialist trainer while some sources suggested a possible medical cause such as a urine infection for the sudden aggression.
- Neighbours reported an earlier episode on July 16 when Jackiey’s screams prompted calls for help, and the recent rehoming ends the immediate risk to Pablo’s life while police and family continue to probe what triggered the attacks.
