NY Post: Hero dogs who stopped mugging euthanized in city shelter
The two stray dogs who became heroes when they foiled a mugging in Queens earlier this month were tragically euthanized by the city after officials decided they were “too aggressive” for adoption.
Animal lover George Petruncio desperately tried to adopt the German shepherd and pit bull after they chased down a teen mugger in Springfield Park on Feb. 7 — but the pooch pal learned the sad news on Friday.
“They never gave the dogs a chance,” Petruncio told The Post. “They did a good thing and this is how you repay them? It’s garbage.”
The dog devotee from Sewell, New Jersey said the death of the dogs was just the latest in the city’s animal blunders.
“You already knocked off Charlotte the groundhog, Lefty the Deer and the bull in Queens,” he said. “I wanted to adopt them. I am really angry.”

Procedures were followed and the designated persons reviewed the approved checklist of all the regulations and criteria, which identified the appropriate disposition of the non-owned shelter-resident subjects collected Q1/2017.
Surely you can’t claim that this was a bad or wrong decision by any individual person! Procedures were followed. The checklist was used. Everyone involved in the process can point to neutral, objective criteria and regulations that specify exactly what is supposed to happen in this sort of situation. I guess that dude isn’t happy but, come on, government is just another name for the things we do together, and there’s more “we” than “he” so what he wants isn’t really at issue here.Report
