Justice for Bob

Poor Bob is fighting for his freedom. He has some high profile help from former Olympian Dawn Fraser but will that be enough?

WITH glowing character references from friends such as swimming star Dawn Fraser, Bob hopes to get off a dangerous dog charge.



Bob, accused of chasing a local cat, will have his case put to the local court this month to clear his reputation and that of his owner, who has been charged with three criminal offences relating to the incident.

Fraser and 21 other residents of the Sydney suburb of Balmain have written Bob character references to counter Leichhardt Council’s legal action. It stems from a complaint that Bob chased a neighbour’s cat and attacked its owner.

The full story from news.com.au is available here.

It’s a dog’s life for Bob but at least he’s got Dawn on his side.

Fraser told The Daily Telegraph she was not on speaking terms with the person who made the complaint about happy-go-lucky Bob.

“He is a beautiful dog,” the ex-swimming champ said. “I don’t think they’re very nice people, I’ve told them not to speak to me.

“I’m a community person, I have lived there all of my life and we now have people coming in that aren’t.”
