Update on Dutch the service dog

Last week I'd posted about Dutch, a service dog owned by a veteran who suffers from PTSD. He'd bitten a woman who'd been beating him to break up a dog fight and was sentenced to be put down. Many people felt this was unjust and thousands signed on-line petitions. The hearing was on the 14th and subsequent stories said that he was euthanized that same day, while the judge ordered his supporters to take down their Facebook page. I posted this sad news this morning on my Facebook page, but two of my readers say the newsstory was in error and the death sentence has not yet been carried out, pending a final appeal. So there is still some hope, but probably not much. An excellent story about a vet and his therapy dog and the great difference the dog made in his life is Until Tuesday, by Luis Carlos Montalvan. I recommend it highly.
