Just imagine, you are a dog, and you see young people playing cops and robbers and one has a mask on and is wrestling around with one of your human family members and the person has a toy gun. The dog ended the skirmish, and the person who was attacked took the mask off, only for the dog to look confused. Why? Because Marley is not a dangerous dog he was merely trying to defend his family. Luckily, Florida has statutes to protect Marley. Share the petition! https://www.change.org/p/operation-save-marley We need to hit our goal of 300,000 signatures! Want to promote the petition and drive even MORE people to sign? https://www.change.org/p/operation-save-marley/sponsors/new?source_location=petitions_show_components_action_panel_wrapper Florida Statute 767.12 (b) states (b)"The dog was protecting or defending a human being within the immediate vicinity of the dog from an unjustified attack or assault." However, no one seems to want to follow this statute?! Please tell everyone about this! The owner is working on meeting the dangerous dog requirements, so that Marley can come home...but Marley isn't a dangerous dog, he is a dog that was simply trying to defend his family, just as his owner defended our country. 1) http://www.news4jax.com/ http://wfla.com/ http://www.wtsp.com/ http://www.orlandosentinel.com/ http://www.news4jax.com/ or try to reach them on Facebook! 2)Email the County Commissioners and let them know how you feel about this issue.
