Tiny is coping

Tiny the boerboel has reportedly settled down and is “more calm and relaxed”, following the brutal murder of his beloved owner, teacher Annemarie Botha (65) and her son, Ruan Brits (36), outside Mbombela.

Tiny had reportedly been at the Valley farmhouse on Saturday evening when the attack and murder had occurred.

However, the absolute trauma of the incident caused Tiny to bolt from the house and he had been found a while later in a traumatised state by neighbours in the area.

They said Tiny had been very upset and nervous following the double murder, but seemed to be doing better now.

“Tiny is staying on our property and Fanie comes to visit him every day. Tiny seems to be doing much better and is more relaxed. He is doing very well.”
