“Love at First Bark: How a Charming Pup Sparked a Legal Battle That No One Saw Coming!”
Waterford police chief Scott Underwood, said, “From our standpoint, it’s a pretty clear case of an ordinance that makes it clear what’s permissible and what’s not. Our job is to enforce the ordinance.”
Diggy Wasn’t Going Without A Fight
There was no way Dan was giving Diggy up in three days, not when he just got him! And he wasn’t the only one who was outraged. Online fans of Diggy started to rally behind the pooch. They even went as far as creating a petition to ban breed-specific legislation.
People seemed to be ready to fight for Diggy’s rights! Everyone’s support overjoyed Dan, but he had other matters to attend to. He was in the middle of getting ready for a formal meeting.
Dan Met With His Lawyer
Dan kept the public in the loop via Facebook, posting, “Don’t worry, Diggy is safe at home with me and his momma. My lawyer and I are going to do everything possible to make sure Diggy stays in his home with us, his family. Thanks for all your support, guys.”
It meant the world to Dan and Megan that so many people were in their circle. Now, they just had to convince a courtroom that Diggy was not dangerous and that they should be allowed to keep him.
They Were In Court For Three Months
Even though Diggy wasn’t dangerous and his adoption papers clearly said he was an American bulldog, the court ruled it inconsequential. They believed Diggy was a pit mix, and therefore Dan and Megan were not allowed to own him because it was illegal.
