 Trevor
Cooper
Guild Advisor
Trevor has been qualified as a Solicitor for nearly
23 years and has been regarded as a specialist in the law on dogs
for 16 years. He is particularly well known for defending dangerous
dog cases, but his knowledge extends to most civil and criminal
canine disputes. His most famous ‘clients’ have been
death row cases which have included:-
Dempsey (the pit bull whose muzzle was removed to allow her to be
sick)
Woofie (a Scottish dog that was on death row for having barked at
a postman)
Dino (a GSD who bit a lady who intervened in a dog fight).
(He was also a consultant for BBC1’s Eastenders when Wellard
bit Ian Beale as they had a storyline on the Dangerous Dogs Act!)
He is currently a Principal Solicitor for the Environment
Agency, for which he is a prosecutor on cases throughout the North-East
of England. He still finds the time to act for dog owners in his
‘spare time’, runs the website www.doglaw.co.uk
and provides a legal advice-line Monday to Thursday evenings.
Trevor is regularly in demand by the media to give commentary on
doglaw issues and from both professionals and dog clubs to present
seminars on the law on dogs.
