Dog that attacked police cars must attend classes

Fri Mar 26, 12:12 pm ET

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – A pit bull mix in Tennessee has been sentenced to obedience training after his dogged attack on a local police car.

Winston didn't bite anybody, but he mauled a Chattanooga police car in what might have been a confused attempt to take a bite out of crime. The persistent pooch managed to tear off a section of the front bumper and damage the tires.

The Chattanooga Times Free Press reports that a judge ruled that Winston had been a very bad dog. He was sentenced to obedience and canine good citizen classes, and he'll have to wear a tag that says he is "potentially dangerous."

Charges against his owner will be dismissed if the classes are completed successfully.

Owner Nancy Emerling said Winston got out of a fenced-in area at a welding shop March 14.


"Scrap the Ford, Winston"   :lol:

Well, now we know what'll happen if a car-chasing dog ever actually catches one...  :laugh:

Such a happy puppy, look at that tail wag! Probably thought it was just an epic game of tug of war...

And the puppy's buddies were getting in on the act.  It looked like all of them were having fun.
Expensive for the taxpayers, though.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Brilliant; a little-bitty tag that you can't read from more than two feet away, to tell you not to get within 50 feet of this dog.

Yeah those bumper covers often run $500, not including paint or installation.

Taxpayers? Or the dogs owner/insurance company? My homeowners policy covers damages by my dog.

Yup. If the cop would have stopped moving his car like his partner told him, they probably wouldn't have done as much damage. They were totally in play mode.

Ahhh, they don't make cars like they use to.  I would like to see that dog take on a 70s or 80s police car.
