The Latest News About Bubba - His Exile From the City

Please read the Channel 7 story posted at 3:06 today for the latest on Bubba's story. (click here)

Not in the above story is that when Bubba's guardians went to the pound this morning at 10:00 a.m. to retrieve him as agreed, the city tried to change the agreement reached last night by making them pay for Bubba's stay at the pound and the vet bill to treat him. Finally, after more than a two-hour delay, Bubba was on his way to freedom. However, in all fairness, the DoH should be commended for not insisting that Bubba's guardians admit guilt or accept a "dangerous dog" label for Bubba. Blogger suspects that this reflects the thoughtful stewardship of the new head of the DoH, Dr. Pierre Vigilance, a positive sign for the citizens of the District of Columbia for reasons that go way beyond simple dog-bites-dog cases.

In view of the above story, this site will be revised on Thursday morning to mobilize citizens to make certain that what happened to Bubba never happens in the nation's capital again. Please return to this site again. In the meantime, feel free to read the original postings, below.

Thank you for visiting this site and for your concern for Bubba and other dogs wrongly accused or unfairly sentenced to death under the District of Columbia's Dangerous Dog Act. Fortunately, there are plenty of concerned citizens, a number of members of the city council, and responsible public officials who are willing to work to improve our system of government.
