Massachusetts Court to Decide Fate of Dog on Death Row After Biting Incident
In Millis, Massachusetts, a legal battle over the fate of a dog named Bentley, a Cane Corso, is currently being decided in court. Bentley has been on 'death row' for three years following an incident where he bit a neighbor. Despite the lack of further incidents since the bite, the town of Millis voted to euthanize the dog. Bentley's owner, Rebecca Martin, has been fighting this decision, arguing that the dog has not posed any further threat. The case has been brought before a judge, who heard testimonies from various parties, including a dog trainer and the victim's mother. The trainer testified that Bentley has shown proper behavior and care, while the victim's mother expressed concerns about the dog's behavior. The town's animal control officer, who initially did not recommend euthanasia, has since changed her stance based on veterinary advice.
