Owners 'can't and won't' think an exhibitor hurt Jagger

The co-owner of a prize-winning dog allegedly poisoned at Crufts said the family "can't and won't" another exhibitor at the show was responsible

"I've done this to raise awareness of the heinous crime that took place that resulted in the death of Jagger," Dee Milligan-Bott told reporters outside her Leicestershire home.

"We can't and we won't think this was an act of another exhibitor. If we thought this couldn't go on," she said.

"I ask you all to unite in finding the perpetrator who did this and lets continue to produce and breed our gorgeous dogs who we are all so proud of."
