This is insane. “He’s got significant puncture wounds to his right forearm,” Chitwood said. “He’s lucky the dog didn’t get him by the throat, it would have killed him.” *SHOULD have called Animal Control?? Why? So they could re-foster the dog so it could kill a child next--the cycle continues. Start a fund for this man’s defense; he will have support.”

It is clear that this dog cannot be rehabilitated if it is attacking people at random. i bet the “completely honest and objective media” doesnt tie this story to the next story when this dog maims a little kid.”
