We have today received a call from a Superintendent of West Mercia Police with the devastating news that they are not allowing Ivy to retire with Dad, she will be re-handled. If this does not work out they MAY offer her back to Dad (showing great animal welfare passing her from pillar to post yet again). We, as a family are utterly devastated at this news and also in complete and utter SHOCK that this is the decision West Mercia have decided is best for Ivy. We cant thank everyone enough for all the support show on this petition. I am not ready to leave this fight and I will be looking into other options to try and change this outcome. Jennie xx
