Condemned pit bull returning to death row
SFGate ^

(05-14) 16:08 PDT RENO -- The condemned pit bull that was sprung from the Alameda animal shelter, allegedly by its owners, has been found in Reno and will be euthanized next week, authorities said Friday.

Max, a 3-year-old, 70-pound red nose pit bull, was located at a Reno motel Thursday night and was taken to a local shelter. An Alameda animal control officer will drive to Reno on Monday to retrieve Max, after which the dog will be destroyed, said Alameda police Sgt. Jill Ottaviato.

An Alameda County Superior Court commissioner ordered Max destroyed Tuesday. The dog was labeled dangerous because he bit a veterinary technician in Oakland and a friend of Cochran and Perry at the couple's home at the Alameda Islander Motel.

Alameda animal-control officials were ready to euthanize Max shortly after Commissioner Thomas Rasch issued his ruling Tuesday. Rasch, however, agreed to allow Cochran and Perry to say their goodbyes at 11 a.m. Wednesday.

But after the hearing, police believe, Cochran bought a set of bolt cutters, setting into motion a plan he had allegedly hatched with Perry to break into the shelter on Fortmann Way and steal Max. The pit bull vanished from his locked kennel sometime between 4:30 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. Wednesday.

The couple's Ford F-150 pickup truck was seen on surveillance video taken outside the animal shelter the morning of the break-in, said Deputy District Attorney Mark McCannon of Alameda County.

Oh, great.

Now some crazy Mooselimb will park a cash-for-clunkers outside your house, full of kiddie clocks, Dura-Cells and peat moss.

Way to go, S&A.

Just when you though you’d found brand new “Hail Mary pass” backup support, you missed post #55.

Go drag ol’ “Betty’s gots her toof on” in.

He’s more entertaining.

OMG...he is the most beautiful ABD I’ve ever seen!

The ones around here are always “hound spotted”/mostly white dogs.

.....and for those of you who missed it on the last thread. Here is a video of my malevolent offspring training their new Evil Pit Puppy to attack without remorse or mercy.

The judge ordered the dog to be killed after a hearing that included animal control professionals, vets and others testifying that it was a danger and would attack again. What more do you need than that?

What more do I need? How about some accuracy. Please copy in the specific parts of the article that say what you wrote, particularly that part that went: animal control professionals, vets and others testifying that it was a danger and would attack again. Good luck with that - it's not there. The article states that the dog bit a vet and a friend of the owners. It also says a commissioner ordered the dogs destruction. Nice embellishments!

You have also either ignored or misunderstood what I wrote regarding the generic pit bull debate in order to argue the issue of this specific dogs' destruction - something I didn't address.

So sorry:

The dog looks more human than the beast sitting behind it.
