I came across this story of a Red Nose Bulldog on doggie death row. I felt sorry for the dog and it's owner so I thought I would post on it.It appears the dog named "Duke" faces canine capital punishment for allegedly attacking a neighbor's dog and horse four years ago. The 5-year-old terrier has spent most his life locked up.
The Smithtown animal law attorney argued for Duke's release Friday morning in a state appeals court but the judges must be convinced that Duke is the victim of mistaken identity or wrongly sentenced under a law that did not exist at the time of the attacks.
He is getting a little public support. The hearing, and a news conference held outside the courthouse, attracted about a dozen supporters of Duke, including former Islip animal shelter supervisor Matt Caracciolo, who said Duke poses no threat to either animals or people.

I think people should write in asking for the release of Duke!
