Ok, this is in today's Times, but it's actually a Reuters' error. Still, anything in the Times that refers to "dog with a violent past" is eye-catching:

A report by Reuters in the World Briefing column on Thursday about an attack on one of Queen Elizabeth's corgis by one of Princess Anne's bull terriers misidentified the terrier. Buckingham Palace said yesterday, according to Reuters and other news agencies, that the corgi was mauled by one of Anne's other terriers, Florence — not Dottie, a dog with a violent past.
