Sorry all. Someone sent me an email with a very convoluted story. Shadow, a GSD from Louisville belongs to a blind man named David. David let the dog into the yard to do her business. He did not know the gate was opened. The dog left the yard. A neighbor tripped over the dog and skinned her knees. David was being charged with having a loose dog. The dog was taken in by a rescue. Neighbor is now filing charges. The dog was supposed to die today.

That was the gist of the story. I was asked to crosspost. Asked to contact Louisville Metro Animal Services. I tried doing a search on this story and found nothing. Has anyone heard this story? If today was Shadow's last day, it is already too late. Horrible story if it is factual.

Well that would be horrible, how could they take a dog in that fashion. Stupid neighbor anyway!!!

The neighbor should be put down, not the dog. Service animal, I presume?

I was never able to get any follow-up to this story. The person who sent it to me, does not know what happened to the dog. I would think Shadow was a service dog, but don't know. I understand KY has some strict laws about dogs running loose. I don't know if this was the first offense. It does seem that perhaps a blind guy could be cut a little slack for not being able to see that the gate was open. Guess that is not excuse.
