AR-News: (CA-on) Who will decide whether this dog lives or dies?

[Animalconcerns]

The worst thing about him seems to be his name — Bandit.

The hefty chocolate brown pit bull-Labrador cross leaps about and runs
around and chases a ball. Bandit, says Toronto Humane Society president
Tim Trow, "is a sweet guy to walk and play with ... a teenager. We were
told he was 2 years old but our vets think he may be younger. He's never
had rules. Now he's learning them."

But this is a dog with horrific violence in its past and a question mark
over its future. A question mark that could affect the way humane
societies all over Ontario operate, according to Pell Capone, the Toronto
society's lawyer.

A judge is expected to rule tomorrow on who has the right to determine
whether Bandit lives or dies — the humane society, which has had the dog
in its care for almost six months, or the City of Toronto.
