She was a bright and young artist such as Emily Sande
Her music was a hybrid genre of soul/pop, with a strong British presence 
In 2008, her husband died of an accidental overdose of methadone and alcohol. It took her a long time to emerge from greiving process
She channeled he emotions into her music, and much of her music is influenced by her experience

The dogs breed (Pitball) is considered to be a dangerous and violent breed so even including that breed and then him and his owner hugging shows that you cant judge a book by his character.
