There has been a dramatic twist in the story of a magpie that forged an unlikely friendship with two Staffordshire bull terriers in Queensland.

There has been a huge update after Molly the magpie was taken from his home in Queensland and away from best friends Peggy and Ruby, Staffordshire bull terriers.

But there was a public outcry when Molly was seized by the Department of Environment and Innovation amid allegations that the bird was being “kept unlawfully”.After Molly and Peggy’s story was reported around the world, Queensland Premier Steven Miles weighed in on the controversy. “What I’m most interested in here is what’s in the best interests of that animal, and if the department can work with the family to reunite them in a way that is legal, I would support that.

“I think if you look at the story there is a better outcome possible. I don’t want to see any of the rules broken, but there has to be a way within the rules to see Molly live out a happy life with her family.”
