The breed must have been on the Animal Control report. My aim wasn't very true. Euthanasia was required.
As far as why I walked up to a miniature horse disguised as a dog. Its my job. Small children historically don't fare so well against dogs the way a grown man does. Its just a priority of mine to check into strange people and strange animals on my block. All of the neigbors with children were grateful.
If it's time to hear all of the, "you murdered fluffy you dick comments" then you can probably save your breath. There was at least one bleeding heart punk in street that day. He was all talk.
I originally posted to get advise on what I should say if the DA expects me to provide the victim another Fila. I can't imagine that a quality breeder would do business with me given the circumstances. Maybe I could offer a German Shepard or something that doesn't have Ojeriza. Maybe a breeder in Austin could asses the home and provide some feedback to my parole officer. "Yes, I have a Fila I'll sell to the guy" or "It's not a good idea since the yard is the size of postage stamp."
Who knows a quality breeder near Austin?
