My name is Snoopy. I really hope it is not too late for me to write this. All I ask from you is a few moments of your attention and time to read and understand my version of this sad story.

I was born on a street in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina under very difficult conditions. One wonderful person saved my life. After 5 years of waiting, I got my chance for a better life in Sweden. Everything was like in a fairy tale. However, due to a fatal incident that occurred immediately after I arrived at my new home, the police took me away and I was sentenced to death at trial. Now I am alone and desperate. Everyone who knows and loves me is too far away from me. I do not have the voice to say how it happened, and the authorities who convicted me did not take all the facts into account. Even the vet’s statement that I was a peaceful dog without a shred of aggression didn’t help.

What I do remember is that I was out for a walk with two other dogs and my new mommy who was riding a bike. At one point she lost her balance and fell. Then chaos ensued and I got scared. I was in shock. According to some statements, I bit someone in that fear, but I really do not know. It all happened very fast.

From the beginning, I didn't stand a chance. However, three main aspects of the law were violated during my sentencing:

1. There is no legal basis for my judgment.
2. The decision was made on the basis of gossip and sayings.
3. A veterinarian hired by the authorities declared me non-aggressive and favorable for further adoption so killing was not recommended.

Please be my voice and tell the authorities to look at my and similar cases from several aspects and understandings. They need to understand that a new country, people and environment can be confusing and that dogs like myself need more time to fit into it all. I know I am not alone. There are many innocent dogs with similar fates. For myself and the others, help us not to end tragically.

Please spread my story. The ones who love me want to see me safe and they want to know I’m alright. Can you help?

With respect,
Your Snoopy, the dog
