San Antonio's Buddy the Dog saved again for now. (San Antonio Express-News)
much more, with pics of Buddy, at the linkSAN ANTONIO The life of Buddy the Dog was at least temporarily spared Friday.
Only three days after city attorneys pushed to have the dog immediately put down, they reached an agreement with the attorneys for Buddy's owners, promising not to euthanize or otherwise harm Buddy while his owners pursue an appeal of a ruling that the dog be euthanized because he reportedly attacked a girl in November.
The girl's parents say Buddy bit her on the face and that the attack was unprovoked.
Buddy's owners contend the girl screamed in his face and frightened him. They also say he scratched her face, but didn't bite her.
Friday marked a major reversal of course for the city.
The shift seems at least partly due to public outcry over an apparent rush by Animal Care Services to put Buddy to death.
