A MAN who credited his dog with helping him fight depression has returned from a holiday to discover the animal had been put down by the council.
David Hall’s Staffordshire Bull Terrier, called Blue, was killed a week after being caught by dog wardens at Markeaton roundabout on the outskirts of Derby.
Blue had escaped whilst on a walk with David’s neighbour.
The kennels said Blue was “aggressive” and the decision to put down a dog would only be made if “absolutely necessary”, Derbyshire Live reported.
The father-of-four, said: “Blue didn’t have a violent bone in his body. He was a softie and the most loyal dog.”
“I’ve had him since he was a puppy and he loved all humans. My kids adored him and he adored my kids. He would sit there for hours with my son loving the attention. ”
Hall said explaining to his children that their pet had gone to “doggy heaven” was “heart-breaking”.
Hall said Blue was helping him to tackle his mental health issues.
He said: “Blue helped me to pull myself together. It made me feel happy when I walked him.
“I couldn’t wait to see him when I got back from my holiday.
“He was my best friend.”
After returning from Croatia, David rang Crowfoot kennels in Church Broughton, after an information card had been posted through his door.
They told him over the phone that Blue had been put down as he was “aggressive towards the residents and officers”.
Hall’s mobile phone had not worked abroad, and he said he did not receive the kennel’s calls.
Hall went to say his “final goodbyes” to Blue, and collected Blue’s ashes a few weeks later.

The council’s policy states that if a dog is not collected within seven days, it is then the property of the council.
A Derby City Council spokesperson said: “The dog had no tag, but officers scanned the dog for contact details of the owner.
“We tried to call Mr Hall however got no response, and so visited the address, and an information card was left when there was no answer.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
