Attn: City Council Members <br />Raun Sawh <br />1366 Wolf Circle <br />Lino Lakes, MN 55038 <br />Dear Lino Lakes City Council, <br />The plight of Raun Sawh and his beloved dog, Brody, has inspired me to write to <br />you to urge you to spare this poor animal's life. I have met Brody and he is a <br />sweet, loving, playful dog. I do not find him threatening in the least. When dogs <br />are confined by a tie -down or kenneled and they are approached by a stranger <br />on their own property, they can often feel anxious, scared, or threatened, <br />resulting in defensive behavior. This is why most of us learn as children not to <br />approach strange dogs. Although his behavior was clearly not ideal, this woman <br />was on their property without permission where Brody was confined. Her <br />intrusion on their property should not result in a death sentence for this poor <br />animal who instinctively acted in what he likely felt was his own defense. The fact <br />that Brody bit an intruder on the Sawh's property does not justify his murder. The <br />punishment simply does not fit the crime. Brody may be just another dog in your <br />eyes, but he is Raun's best friend. Sentencing him to death would cause him <br />Thuch more pain,than that of a dog bite. I, urge you to act reasonably and listen to <br />both sides of this story before jumping to conclusions. <br />Sincerely, <br />Kirsten Neilson <br />3844 Johnson St NE <br />Minneapolis, MN 55421 <br />To whom it may concern, 14 <br />
