News about David Lindsay

Although furry friends bring us our daily dose of joy and joking, being a dog owner isn't always as rosy as it seems. Over 13 million dogs have been released in the United Kingdom, but these obedient animals have demonstrated that there are some situations where they are far from being 'the man's best friend.' After owners Jill and Steve Kirkham, Ellesmere Port, Cheshire, revealed the full cost of their boxer dog's hungry habits, Cooper (top right), eight, was dubbed "Britain's naughtiest dog" in 2020. A bulldog (left) bit his owners to the bone in another instance, but it revealed an underlying health condition. After figuring to mistake an AA battery for a treat in March 2023, a puppy (bottom right) unleashed quite the fear on his owners.

Inset: David Lindsay, 64, of Cambridge, has described how he awakened the discovery that his bulldog, Harley (left), had chewed his big toe 'to the bone.' However, the horrific experience turned out to be a potential lifesaver because doctors later discovered he had lost the feeling in his feet due to two blocked arteries in his legs (right), who explains why he didn't hear the chewing.

At Notting Hill Carnival on Wednesday, a 72-second silence was held to commemorate the lives of those who were killed in the Grenfell fire tragedy. At 3 p.m., the carnival, which is an annual event that celebrates Caribbean history and is open to all, came to a halt as a result of all those affected by the fire. Despite the fact that the group had done so in 2017 and 2019, it comes as organisers were slammed for failing to schedule such a silence this year. Due to the pandemic, the carnivals in 2020 and 2021 were cancelled. The partygoers had planned to stop dancing, singing, and playing music and joined as a group. However, MailOnline understands that some people were left upset and angry after no silence appeared to be kept within sight of the tower itself. Mayor Sadiq Khan said he would'never forget' the summer of 2017 and the 'awful' tragedy, which he spoke at at the carnival.

At the first carnival that has been held since 2019 due to the coronavirus pandemic, the 72-second silence was held. It comes as organisers were previously chastised for failing to schedule one. In addition to the silence, parade organisers wore green as a special thanks to the victims (right). Partygoers stopped dancing, singing, and playing music and joined as a community. Due to the flammable cladding and insulation, the fire, which started on the fourth floor due to a fault with an electrical appliance, was quickly spreading across the tower's exterior. Many people were left homeless on higher floors with no way out because the only fire exit was blocked.
