And the dog? What happened to it?
I once knew a fellow who was brought to trial on charges of animal cruelty. He had a neighbor whose dog barked all night every night. The neighbor was deaf, so the barking didn't bother him. After about six months of not being able to sleep, this fellow I knew decided to pay the neighbor a visit. The neighbor's dog was on a chain but nevertheless attacked this poor fellow as he tried to reach the neighbor's front porch. Luckily the fellow just happened to be carrying a shovel, and he used the shovel on the dog in self defense. The dog survived this fellow's spirited defense, but it lost an eye in the process. Ironically, the chain did not reach to the front porch, so if this fellow had just managed to get to the front porch, he would have been safe. About two weeks before trial, the dog mysteriously vanished. It looked like witness tampering, but without a body . . . . A jury gave this fellow two years in a state jail facility, and he served it day for day. At the time, two years was the most a person could get. I believe ten years is now the ceiling.
So us dog-lovers want some assurances nothing untoward happened to the dog.
