Mai ready to fight to save her pooch

A YOUNG woman vowed yesterday to fight any plans to ban so-called dangerous breed dogs in Cork.

Mai Clifford, 21, who lives in a council house off Shandon Street, owns a nine-month-old Rottweiler called S’hagan, and an eight-week-old Rottweiler bitch pup.

“They won’t be coming in to my house to take my dog,” she said. “Taking away S’hagan would be like taking away my first-born. I will use violence to protect my dog. The council will regret their actions if they go down this road.”
