Re: [ST] More dogs....

[Rolo Casos <onerolo@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

My dogs are super nice too, and to us they are our children.  They did 
not kill the guy, my wife stopped them from doing it and even caught a 
couple of bites to the hand in the process, bad idea to pull a pit off 
someone's arm by the mouth.  It was a horrible situation, I did not 
feel alone though, the only reason the dogs were not taken right away 
that night was because a pair of the police officers that came were K9 
and just about lost it when animal services tried to take the dogs. I 
have made it home by then and had to be restrained as well. Animal 
services guy harassed us even after the incident, (dog limit in the 
county is 2) and we had to move one of the mutts to a friends house for 
a while.  Some ambulance chaser called in behalf of the guy too and 
spoke of legal action against us, but I told him to go ...... himself 
and just did not hear from him or his client again. The guy did go to 
the hospital, he was a big mess, and later to prison, he was in parole 
at the time and had warrants as well for not reporting.  If I had been 
there instead of my dogs, hew would be dead.  We never got the dogs for 
protection, but we sure feel protected around them they are very 
spoiled pups.
