Mr Ford, 51, was the tenth white farmer killed since militants began often violent occupations of white owned land two years ago. "The dog would not leave the farmer's body," said Meryl Harrison, of Zimbabwe's Society for the Prevention of Cruetly to Animals who was inundated by calls about the terrier. "When Terry Ford's battered body was found under a tree, the little terrier was still at his side," she said. |
