My city in Augusta KS USA adopted a law against Pit Bulls in 2004. Today, Jan 21, 2008, the local dog catcher spotted my 5 yr old Stafford Shire Terrier in my front yard going pee. Now Chloe has to go. they want her our of our town imediately. Or be put down. She's such a sweet dog. Who's gonna tell my 10 yr old son that the dog he has loved for half of his life has to go or be put to death? thank you for sharing this story.

I am woefully uneducated about the laws, but it really makes me sad that people like Celine and many other animal service workers have to go through something as difficult as this. I can't imagine how tough it would be to take a happy, healthy dog to be euthanized on the sole point of the breed. This story really moved me.

Tragic and cruel.

The author is brave to tell of this and hopefully this will help change things in the future. Sadly the love this dog had even briefly is more than some of the overpopulation pets have.
