CHICAGO (AFP) – A pit bull is on probation after ripping the bumper off a police car and chewing the tires on three other cars flat as two other dogs barked and wagged their tails, local media reported Friday.

The brown and white mixed breed named Winston spent two weeks locked up in the Chattannooga, Tennessee animal shelter after the bizarre attack was captured on a police surveillance camera.

His owners said they had no clue why he went wild that day, chewing through two fences and attacking four different cars.

He'd never shown any aggression before that day, owner Nancy Emerling told the Chattanooga Times Free Press.

A two minute police video posted on the paper’s website (http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/2010/mar/26/car-eating-dog-set-free/) shows Winston yanking on the bumper of a police cruiser, refusing to let go as it drives slowly back and forth trying to dislodge the dog.

The cop was playing tug of war with his bumper.

Until the makes and models of the attacked vehicles are released, I will withhold judgment. After all, they could be Toyota's and Winston could actually be a hero...

How come headline says Pit Bull and story says mixedbreed??

I guess they wanted to grab attention by using “Pit Bull” as if the bumper and flat tires wouldn’t

[Jagdgewehr]

Cujo?

I think we should have a Winston’s Cup Series...what do ya think?

So after his probation is up and he goes on to attack a child or some other person possibly killing them, he will then face the capital punishment he should face now.
