Scots pet bull dodges slaughterhouse after finding new life at castle

A pet bull just three days from death is enjoying a new life as king of the castle after his fortunes turned overnight.

The plight of Bullby the bull went viral after owner Charlotte Smith made a plea for a new home for the family pet.

The sale of land in Oban, Argyll, where ­Charlotte and partner Steven Khan kept Bullby, meant he had to be moved by tomorrow.

Bullby would have to go to the ­slaughterhouse if they couldn’t find a new home.

But a home was waiting for Bullby closer to home, with Kenny and Krissy Gray, who keep pet cows and sheep in the fields around Kilchurn Castle, about 25 miles away near Dalmally.

Krissy said: “He is just fine.”
