Your right, most programs for assistance dogs have to be spayed or neutered. I wonder if that is a rule with the AKC assistance dogs? I think I read that some one, a trainer was vouching for the dog? I read once that all service dogs in our arm forces must be fixed too. Something is wrong with this part of the report. I hope the rest of it is the truth, and these people aren't using the public just for sympathy. I am not on FB, but read some of the comments. Someone ought to ask them if he can show proof of a certificate that he is in fact a trained service dog.

You know in a way, I can't imagine any woman being that brave (or stupid), to beat a dog that size unless she is drunk or high, and think she can over power it. I know when i was in my late 30s I still didn't have any fear of not being able to control a large dog, when I was training them, but I wasn't stupid enough to provoke one either. I don't have that kind of confidence anymore being much older, and not as strong as I use to be.

   The article on the Vet exam said he checked his testicles.

I raised five assistance dogs for an organization and they never put an intact dog out. I can't see having one because if a male runs into a female in heat nature may override training. Males would also tend to be more dominate (not always)and assistance dogs should be very submissive. People with a handicap don't usually have the strength/ability to control a dominate dog. If you are training your own assistance dog you will know your ability to control it though.

Where did you see a pic of his other half? On the news article I only see his head and the full body pic is a side profile.

I'm on the dog's side too but was wondering why a service dog would still have testicles.

It's obvious if that dog was that vicious, the woman would never had made it from the yard to inside her house without being mauled to death. He is a huge dog, and why do I have this feeling that this woman has done this before? I bet that is why Dutch couldn't take it anymore. She ought to be thanking God she wasn't mauled. Just based on that, the Judge and Animal Control are As__ses. Makes me mad.

Could someone please explain why this woman isn't being charged with animal cruelty when she has clearly admitted she beat the dog without any provocation from the dog?

If that were me, I would find some one else to hide the dog and save his life. Tell the morons that the dog ran away and let them prove other wise. FB said that the owner lives in Oklahoma, so why is Colorado charging the dog with a death sentence, and how can CO put the owner in jail for not surrending the dog when he doesn't even live there? Dumb laws as usual!
