Victoria Beckham is urging megastar husband David to ditch their Rottweilers after two recent tragedies involving dog attacks on small children. The former Spice Girl has fears that their dogs, one of whom is called Snoop after the rap star, may harm the Beckham children, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz. Former England captain David is standing his ground however, saying that the dogs, who her refers to as his "little fellas" are there to protect the family, not harm them.
Victoria, who friends claim has always been wary of dogs, has pleaded with David to get rid of the dogs, but David is adamant that the dogs will stay as they are part of the family.
The most recently publicised dog attack in the UK took place on New Years Day. Ellie Lawrenson was killed by her uncle's Pit Bull Terrier at her Grandmother's home in St Helens, Merseyside.
Since the attack, media reports have heightened public fears about many dogs, including Rottweilers and Pit Bulls.
The government minister who introduced the Dangerous Dogs Act has called for Rottweilers and 'Alsatians' to be added to the list of breeds required to wear a muzzle when in public. Many have slammed his comments as "uninformed", "ridiculous" and "impractical" but nevertheless his comments have added to the general public hysteria surrounding guardian breeds such as the Beckham's Rottweilers.
