German Shepherd given death sentence for protecting family

[Robin1]

Fox News Channel had this story this morning about Congo, a German Shepherd

who needs our help - info below.

We all need to make this call or email to help this dog. This could be any

of our ASD's just doing their job.

Please take some action...... we can't let this case set a precedent for our

working dogs ON THEIR OWN PROPERTY!!!

I just made the call and someone is there to take messages.

=====================

URGENT!!!! - Congo Lost in Court - PLS CALL NJ GOV CORZINE TO OVERRIDE!!

The governor's office is taking calls and they are doing a tally of people

who are for or AGAINST putting this GSD down. Plz take a second to call as

his life is on the line here!!! O tell them wut state you are from!!!

Thanks!

PLEASE CROSS POST

For those not familiar with Congo's case:

1. two illegal immigrants were gardening at the family's house

2. they arrived an hour early

3. they were told by the husband to stay in their truck until he could

get out of the shower and get some clothes on

4. the husband speaks Spanish and spoke to them in Spanish so there is

no question they understand what they were told to do

5. they directly disobeyed the husband and walked into the backyard with

the wife, who had just pulled into the driveway)

6. the two adult gsd's and their puppies came running

7. the gardeners panicked

8. ONE GARDENER GRABBED THE WIFE AND WRESTLED HER TO THE GROUND, USING

HER AS A PROTECTIVE SHIELD

9. Congo thought his owner was being attacked and went after the gardener

10. The gardener used his rake to beat at the puppies and inflicted some

injuries on them.

11. the gardener changed his story three times (interesting note on

official bias: when the owner said the gardener changed his story five

times, the dog warden said "No, he only changed his story 3 times.")

EVERYONE PLEASE WRITE & CALL New Jersey Gov.Corzine Urge him to OVERRIDE

CONGO's DEATH SENTENCE

Check their green cards. If they are illegal ship their a(butts) back to whearever they came from and sue their company out of business.

Poor, poor Congo and his family.

Oh My! I have just read this post - I have called and the lady was very nice. I also sent an email - this is so sad to even "think" that Congo would be euthanized for protecting his family.
