I personally spoke with Kristine, Sarge's owner, and am outraged that a dog can be destroyed when he is in his own home defending his owner and property. If this was a rapist or murderer, instead of a cop, coming into his home or yard, the dog would be called a hero for being defensive. He was being protective not vicious. Yes, this is the third time he has bitten an "intruder" - each time someone entered his home and property without permission. Isn't that what we want our dogs to do? The police officer did not have a search warrant, Kristine was in her own home in bed, and the there was no noise coming from the property when the officers showed up for a noise complaint from earlier that afternoon (listening to oldies on WHNN). I will add that I am usually in total support of our police officers as they have a tough job and I appreciate that they risk their lives for me every single day. I will also add that I feel that some dogs are vicious for whatever reason, and need to be put down for the safety of others. But this dog was in his own home and yard each time someone entered without permission. In the second case, Kristine even warned the person not to enter until she contained her dog, and he said "don't worry - all dogs love me" and then proceeded to call animal control once he got bit. None of the bites were considered serious
Kristine is a responsible pet owner. Her yard is fenced. All of her dogs are utd on shots and spayed / neutered / licensed. Previous dogs owned by Kristine lived to ripe old ages of 13 and 15 yrs old.
Please support efforts to FREE SARGE. The Court date has been pushed back to July 2, 2015 if you want to show up. Kristine can not afford a lawyer as she is on disability. She was quoted a minimum of $1000....we would love to have a little extra if costs run over. She can not get a lawyer appointed by the court for free as there are not any charges pending against HER. Please consider donating. No amount is too small.
Please share - this could be your dog, doing what you would want him to do if an unknown person was coming into your house without permission.
