11/19/2010 <br />To Whom This May Concern: <br />I am writing regarding the unfortunate situation involving Brody Sawh. I have known Brody since he was <br />a puppy and he has spent numerous occasions at my house. Brody has not once shown any signs of a <br />demeanor in which 1 was uncomfortable or feared. He is a playful puppy with an almost human like <br />demeanor. Brody is an extremely smart dog that has a lot of potential as he grows out of his puppy <br />years to a mature well trained dog. The situations involving Brody I believe are due to the fact that he is <br />territorial, in which most canines are when a strange person enters what is his space without first <br />acquainting themselves with him or any other canine at that matter. It is the same with humans as we <br />would not just let an unknown individual enter our homes with our family without confrontation. With <br />this respect 1 believe this situation needs to be approached ethically, and really look at if this was <br />Brody's fault, or was it ignorance on the individual's part for entering the territory of an unknown <br />canine. From the time I have spent with Brody I can tell you that this was not his fault, rather he was <br />just reacting to somebody invading his territory without proper introduction. I would hope that the <br />counsel would approach their decision with caution and really approach this from an ethical standpoint <br />as this is a puppy still in training with a lot of potential and an integral part of a family. <br />Sincerely, <br />Mark J.
