Hey, Jenn-
So, here's the story....
Actually, I personally think that Bo was an American Bulldog. He was quite a bit bigger than a Pitbull and all white. And, he had much bigger jowls...like a bulldog. Anyway..so, Bo was a stray. I never was able to find someone to claim him, which didn't surprise me considering the absolutely terrible disregard for dogs in my community. Anyway, so, he was mine. I totally loved him. Spoiled the absolute crap out of him, etc. One day, my boyfriend came over to my apartment looking for me. I wasn't there, and I had left Bo out of his crate cuz he had just gone potty and was being a good boy. I was over at my mom's. He ran out of the apartment, so Mark had him out in the yard for a few minutes. This woman and her husband/boyfriend walked by, singing and being really loud. Bo ran up to her, and she FREAKED. I mean, FREAKED. She screamed as if she was being mauled, and this was just upon seeing him. She ran to the neighbor's porch and grabbed a broom and began to hit him with it. Her boyfriend ran up with a cinder-block and threw it at Bo. I guess Bo jumped on her, and its sort of unclear if he nipped her or if one of his nails scratched her. But, she had a scratch on her arm. (Nothing major) So, she called 911, and they sent police and animal control, etc. But, this was AFTER Mark put Bo in the house and came out to ask her if she was OK. She said she was, and then she left. (And THEN went and called 911--but refused medical treatment) So, the next day, they came and took Bo AND sweet, sweet Cabeza, our Newf mix. They kept them for 21 days, denied us any type of hearing or investigation, and on the 21st day, they euthanized Bo. Then, they gave Cabeza back.
Isn't that totally insane?
