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.

Was there an Obama bumper sticker involved?

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

This is why Pugs are better.

And the black Poodle was aiding and abetting and should be tried as a participant in a violent crime where-in a bumper died in the commission of the crime...

How do you put a dog on probation? Does he have to report once a month?

Electronic shock collar. Peeing in a cup is another story. I’d recommend dropping all of my ‘retreiver’ friends too.

LOL, didn’t think about the shock collar. They only use them on high dollar bird dogs down here.

It’s surprising how many homes in the neighborhood do have “wires in ground” for the shock collar system. Ours does (don’t use it, been pulling it out when I find it) and so does my neighbor. The neighbor has a pair of retrivers and they chew each others collar off and then go...

Teamwork!

I think it defeats the purpose of having a dog, it restricts their ability to be your first line of defense and you end up like me with a toothless cat as your first line of defense. ;)
