A mother expressed anger towards the police, accusing them of disrespect after they returned her XL Bully dog’s ashes in a packaging box meant for drinks. Nicole Pryde Jarvis’s dog, Cali, was taken by Cheshire Police on October 25 following complaints from neighbors in Congleton. Despite her efforts to save the dog, which was not exempt from the XL Bully ban, Cali was euthanized.
Nicole, a 30-year-old mother of two, was notified by text that her dog had been “destroyed” on January 28 but was unaware that the ashes would be sent back to her. It was her 13-year-old daughter who opened the package labeled as Fever Tree elderflower packaging, revealing Cali’s ashes, leading to an emotional moment as the ashes spilled out.
Receiving her dog’s ashes in a tonic water box was distressing for Nicole, who felt mistreated and disrespected by the police. She claimed that Cali was not aggressive and was seized due to not being exempt from the XL Bully ban, despite having a good temperament.
Nicole recounted how her daughter’s discovery of Cali’s ashes in the package caused distress, emphasizing her desire to have her dog back and expressing her intention to take action against the police for the disrespectful handling of the situation. Cheshire Police was contacted for a response.
