Yes, the Editor, in haste to post a story, used a stock photo he had on file of a pit bull snarling, because he thought the story was horrific. Later, after reading Jim’s Comment that the stock photo was sensationalistic, said Editor changed the photo to one of Snaps.

I had a doberman sicked on me when I was a teenager. I had bruises and bite wounds to one leg, and required a tetanus shot.

The bully who did this, and his dog, were never prosecuted. That was thirty years ago.

Do I have a case?

I was more interested in knocking the doberman senseless with my older brother’s skateboard, than in filing a police report.

There was also a great deal a fear of retribution from a network of delinquents in my old neighborhood.

What’s a thriteen year old or his intimidated family to do?

Anyway, this Burien case is obviously much worse than I ever experienced.

Dogs are sometimes man’s best friend and worst enemy. They seem to have too much in common.

The original picture for this story was of a snarling pit bull, not Snaps, and it was tinged with red as if the dog had blood dripping from his teeth. Later, the editor changed the picture to a photo of Snaps, when a picture was made available by King County.

WOW!!!
First… that pic at the top of the page is not a snarling dog. He’s cowering..
Second… If my kid EVER acted like that Id beat some sense in to them. ANd if they got arrested for beating up 2 women? Theyd stay in jail until court. Ya lets release the kids to their parents… they are obviously great at keeping tabs on their kids.
And Monkeywrench… Id be very very careful who he was placed with but with frim gentle handler he canlearn to trust again and be placed ina forever home.

Please sign this petition to help save Snaps. He deserves to live his life out in a sanctuary where he can know compassion and love for the first time.

while i think it is sad that snaps has to be put down, he has been trained and shown the ability to attack humans. he wouldn’t hesitate to do it again if he felt threatened.

i agree, and i think their parents should be in jail as well, for not teaching them better.
