Dog attack now going to trial

As readers know, the IELB covered the beating of a dog after said dog bit a local off duty fireman. Now, the dog beating is going to trial. See here for the update on the story.

"The story notes that A physician's assistant told police that a break to the bone in Johnson's thumb was unlikely to be caused by a small dog. Karley weighed 42 pounds."

So the dog bites the fireman's thumb so hard that it breaks it, the fireman beats the dog, and now the prosecutor files felony charges against the fireman.

Unfortunately, this case will be added to the thousands of other criminal cases pre-empting civil cases and further adding to the civil case back log.
