This article focuses on the attack of one of Queen Elizabeth's dogs by the bull terrier of Princess Anne during a holiday visit. Rarely have the words "bad dog" seemed more appropriate than during a holiday visit by Britain's Princess Anne to her mother, Queen Elizabeth. No sooner had the doors to the Queen's Norfolk estate opened than one of Anne's English bull terriers charged at Pharos, one of the Queen's six beloved corgis, and chomped down hard on a hind leg, breaking it in three places. Pharos was put down the next day. Last year the Princess was fined $885 after her dog Dotty bit two children in a Windsor park. Dotty received the initial blame for this latest incident, but seems to have won a reprieve when British papers reported on Dec. 30 that another of Anne's terriers, Florence, was actually the culprit.
