We present this story with a heavy heart. A Burbank family is engaged in an uphill battle to save their precious dog, Conan, from an unfair sentence of euthanasia following an incident where he allegedly bit a neighbor. This particular contention arose when the neighbor in question was aggressively conversing with Conan's owner, to which Conan reacted in defense of his owner, a behavior legally accepted for dogs.

It's crucial to note that Conan has been a member of this loving family, embodying the spirit of loyalty and devotion inherent to our canine friends. Removing him from this family based on what can only be labeled as a natural instinctual response is not only unfair but also contrary to the essence of our community's values.

According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, an estimated 4.5 million dog bites occur each year in the USA. However, only a small fraction of these bites lead to fatalities. In most cases, an aggressive tendency in dogs arises from a threat perceived or actual, rather than innate malicious behavior.

We don't want the story of Conan to be another sad statistic. We urge you to consider the context surrounding the incident, keeping in mind that animals have a right to protect their loved ones when danger is perceived. The sentence of euthanasia should be dealt with in severe instances instead of instances where their innate instinct to protect their family kicks in.

This petition does not only represent Conan's fate; it stands for the right of all pets to safety, life, and the right to protect their loved ones. Please sign this petition today and lend your voice in support of saving Conan's life. Your signature can make the difference; it can save a life.
