Bark In His Bite

From CBS News:

A pit bull that likes to get a lot of bark in its bite could end up costing its owner $3,100.

This summer, Tyler Port allowed his dog, Rossman, to run loose in a park. The dog apparently had a habit of chewing bark off trees, and Port was cited for failure to keep the dog under control.


The city of Altoona wants Port to pay for replacing three honey locust trees that may die from the loss of bark.

Port says that his dog was "infatuated" with the trees and rubbed against them and hung by his teeth from the branches. He says the children enjoyed watching the spectacle.

Any idiotic owner of a pit bull, who lets his dog run loose in a park around children, should be in big trouble simply for that.
