Last week, news outlets (such as the Sun, the DailyMail, and the Mirror – among many) reported the death of the wonderful 61-year-old Anne Johnson, and most of them blamed her death on the dogs she cared for.
Anne Johnson grew up in Macclesfield and moved to the Red Sea City of Dahab where she had spent the last 16 years of her life caring for stray dogs.
She was known to her friends and friendly locals simply as “Janet”, and she spent the last decade and half of her life fighting for the stray dogs in Egypt and supporting the efforts and campaigns to provide a better life for the dogs in the country.
Unfortunately, she was found on Friday by workers at the shelter with lacerations to her neck while she laid next to a bag of food. Initial reports by the authorities there speculate the woman was attacked by three of the dogs she was caring for in her shelter.
Of course, anyone who has ever spent any period of time with dogs knows that dogs almost never attack their owners. Dogs would never attack someone who saves their lives, gives them food, and cares for the them the way Janet was doing.
It turns out, locals also disagree with the story and have since refused to believe the story, and now the truth started to rise despite the pile of lies surrounding the incident.
