Pit bull propaganda: "Pit bull happily living in New York State"

GEORGIA -- Apart from disliking the cold, a pit bull that attacked a 5-year-old Effingham County boy in July 2012 is adjusting well to living at a rescue center in New York State.

The dog whose name was “Kno,” is now known as “Noah,” said Liz Keller, the owner of Glen Wild Animal Rescue in South Kortright, N.Y.

Liz Keller and the 'perfect gentleman'

He was neutered and lives with Keller at the rescue center. As part of a court agreement, the dog is not allowed to be near children and can’t be adopted by anyone.

“He’s not a fan of Upstate New York winter,” Keller said. “He runs out, goes to the bathroom and comes right back in. … He gives a face like, ‘I’m from Georgia. Can you get me inside, please?’ He doesn’t like the cold.”

She said he is a “perfect gentleman” and seems appreciative of his current living situation.

The dog spent a year living in a 6-foot-by-5-foot pen at the Effingham County animal shelter, while a court-appointed, pro-bono lawyer argued for his life to be spared.

Wesley Frye, who was 5 years old when he was attacked, had facial paralysis and scars and was terrified of dogs, his mother said last summer.

A judge ruled that Kno was not vicious and that the boy’s injuries “were the result of a series of unfortunate events.”

The dog’s attorney, Mickey Kicklighter, said in court that one report was that the dog had a sore on its back that Frye and two other boys were told to leave alone, but didn’t, and the second report was that the boys were screaming in the dog’s face.

[NOTE: This was the "dog's attorney" which alleges it was the little boy's fault that the dog attacked him and caused him 'permanent facial paralysis'. Typical defense: blame the victim.]

Keller said she appreciates all the help the public has given toward the dog’s flight to his new home and his upkeep.

[How many of these people - who donated money to this pit bull - also donated money to the little boy? My guess would be none.]
