Memorial to first canine victim of superbug

Hendon Times, August 25 2005 -Memorial to first canine victim of superbug

A dog's life: one year after the first known canine death from MRSA in Britain, the dog's owner, Jill Moss, planted a memorial tree at her home, in Edgwarebury Lane, Edgware, on Sunday. Ms Moss's ten-year-old Samoyed breed, Belles, contracted the superbug following an operation. She was joined by friends of her charity, the Bella Moss Foundation, which offers advice on the issue.
