Report: Royal dog to see psychologist

LONDON, England (AP) -- Princess Anne will send her dog to an animal psychologist to avoid having it euthanized after it attacked a royal maid and fatally mauled one of Queen Elizabeth II's beloved corgis, the Sunday Telegraph reported.

Psychologist Roger Mugford said he expected to begin work with Florence the bull terrier next week. Mugford said that he believed the attacks were related to an underlying medical factor.

"We are not talking about an inherently aggressive or dangerous dog," Mugford was quoted as saying in newspaper. "I am sure it is just a dog who is feeling a bit out of sorts about something, perhaps pain or old age, and is feeling a bit cranky on the day."

Buckingham Palace has refused to comment on whether Florence would be put down.

1. Why don't they send

the royal family to a psychologist instead?

Sorry. This one was begging for it.

2. Probably just a reaction

to having the Anti-Christ visit Buckingham Palace.

and fast

4. So what happens after it mauls Mugford?

THEN will they send it to sleep with the fishes?
