A Sioux City councilman's dog that has been deemed vicious and could be euthanized is missing from an animal shelter.Yep, no suspects. And I bet there aren't going to BE any suspects either. Not now, not ever. Just sayin'.
Police say someone broke into the shelter Sunday afternoon and stole Jake, a 3-year-old yellow Labrador retriever, from an outdoor kennel. No other animals were taken.
Lt. Mark Kirkpatrick says there are no suspects as of Monday and the dog hasn't been found.
South Carolina Code of Laws - Title 47, Chapter 3, Article 13, Section 47-3-710: (C) An animal is not a "dangerous animal" solely by virtue of its breed or species.

MYTH: American Pit Bull Terriers lock their jaws.
Dr. Brisbin: "The few studies which have been conducted of the structure of the skulls, mandibles and teeth of pit bulls show that, in proportion to their size, their jaw structure and thus its inferred functional morphology, is no different than that of any breed of dog.
There is absolutely no evidence for the existence of any kind of "locking mechanism" unique to the structure of the jaw and/or teeth of the American Pit Bull Terrier.

RIDICULOUS!!!!!
oh, it was obviously stolen by some bitter pit bull owner/dogfighter (one and the same) , to use as a bait dog...
I'm sure we can expect the ransom note any minute now.
That story is jelly. I love the fact that he found the same thing he's trying to eliminate with his act in his own home (aggressive dogs).
Most of us know that what's important to avoid dog violence is to have a mentally healthy, well balanced, fulfilled dog, regardless of breed. Obviously, both from the fact that his dog attacked someone and from the act the councilman is pushing, he doesn't know anything about having a mentally healthy dog or its importance.
Has anyone heard if the good councilman has gotten a "new" adult male yellow Lab?
