We the undersigned request that DUTCH is returned home to his family and any proceedings on the current Euthanazia Order that is currently in place are terminated immediately.

Dutch's former owner admitted to animal control officers and in court that she was beating Dutch before he bit her.

Dutch has never shown any aggressive behavior before or after the incident and is a certified AKC Canine Good Citizen. 

Please rethink this Order to kill Dutch.

Please investigate his former owner and look into animal cruelty charges being brought against her instead.

Sincerely...

Disabled veteran asks for public support; service dog faces euthanasia for biting woman who beat him with metal pole

Dutch was accused of being a "vicious" or "dangerous" dog and is now in danger of euthanization by a Court Order.

In  November 2012, he bit his previous owner and left puncture wounds. 

The person who was bit admits that they spent several minutes punching, kicking, and hitting him with a metal pole before he retaliated.
