http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&u=/ap/20031230/ap_on_re_eu/queen_s_corgi&e=4LONDON - The prime suspect in a royal whodunit has been cleared. Princess Anne's bull terrier Dotty didn't fatally maul a corgi belonging to Queen Elizabeth II (news - web sites) shortly before Christmas, Buckingham Palace said Tuesday. Instead, the palace pointed the blame at one of Anne's other terriers, Florence.
The incident prompted widespread speculation that Princess Anne would have to destroy Dotty, who attacked two children in a park in 2002, landing her owner with a $880 fine. But the terrier's future appeared brighter after Buckingham Palace announced she was no longer a suspect.
"We understand that it was Florence," a spokesman for the royal household said, speaking on condition of anonymity. "We are confirming that it wasn't Dotty."
