Well, it is all water under the bridge so to speak now and I say to prevent
this from happening again I would go to the papers and radio and such and
also talk to the vet or ever who owns the business and see if there can be
some rules place on a plat or something at the front door about aggressive
dogs. I also would seek legal advice. I could not get the results I needed I
would look for a different vet! I know there is a couple on this list that
has been put out that does mobile service! That they will come to you
instead of you coming to them. Now this being said myself would have taken
care of it myself. I always have and have since I was a boy carried a knife
and I will use it if needed to defend myself and my property. I am also aCCW
( concealed weapon holder ) and would not even think of using it but in the
last resort! But in this case I might have been force to use it. Not on the
owner but the dog yes. I would not wanted to but extreme things call for
extreme doings. But like I say it is all water under the bridge and I would
either let it die or go after this man tooth and nail. I would start by
seeking me legal cancel . JMT !

Did the owner tell the dog to stop!

 

Or, "down boy", or, the like?

        Thanks - an interesting point - I do not know if the owner tried to
separate the dogs.  Norine

        Did the owner of the dog try, himself, to separate his dog away from
Santino?

         

        Have that owner drug tested!

         

        He might have been looking for some amusement?

         

        Thank God your screams were audible enough to have been heard!

                Hi to everyone,   I know I don't contribute much to this
list but do lurk around a lot.  I wanted all the guide dog people to know
what happened to Santino and me yesterday. It is a bad story but Santino and
I are both ok. 

                 

                I took Santino to the vet for his annual checkup and shots.
While we were waiting for Dial-A-Ride in the waiting room a man came in to
pick up his pit bull (or part pit bull).  The dog pulled away from the man,
raced across the room to Santino who was lying calmly beside my chair and
viciously attacked Santino.  The barking and my screams brought instant
help.  I could feel that the attack dog had picked Santino up off his feet
and was flinging him around; then he nailed Santino on his back to the
floor.  Three vet techs had a difficult time getting the dogs jaws open so
Santino would be released. 

                 

                One vet witnessed most of this and as soon as Santino was
released took him back to check him.  Praise God, the attack dog had latched
onto Santino's harness right at his throat.  Santino had no wounds; the vet
was shocked, could hardly believe it; but he and I were and are a very shook
up pair after all that.  While Santino was being checked the man took his
dog and left - he never said a word.  

                 

                Dial-A-Ride came and the driver saw the man and dog, and
said he had no control of the dog and barely got him into his vehicle.  

                 

                I called GDB  to report this and ask for advice and they
said I should file a police and animal control report.  The vet's office
contacted Animal Control for information; however they did not file a
report. They checked Fl. statutes and told me the attack dogs owner would be
responsible for all costs if Santino needed any retraining.  

                 

                The police tried to talk me out of filing a report saying it
was not a crime; the officer who did come to take the report kind of gave
the impression it was a nuciance, and did give it an "incident report."
Today I called Tallahassee Animal Control to inquire if a report had been
filed.  The woman I talked with said she was aware of the call  yesterday;
she was reluctant to say if a report had or had not been filed.  I was
insistent; she then started to tell me what the animal control laws are; I
had just read them online, and pointed out to her there were several
violations.  She then agreed to refer it.  She called me later and said she
had contacted the vet for name and address of the owner; the address was in
the county so it was out of there jurisdiction; I kept pushing and she
reluctantly agreed to refer it to Leon Co Animal Control, which she did.  

                 

                A deputy came to the house very soon after the referral and
was going investigate and cite the owner. I have no doubt Leon Co. will
follow up.  This is all I want.  I want the owners, who later called the vet
and said the dog had never done anything like this before,  to know there
dog is a danger; I  want children and other animals protected from him. 

                 

                Santino worked pretty well today; he is a little timid; we
did not encounter any other dogs.  GDB advised me to take him back to the
vets office several times next week and give lots of praise and rewards so
he does not associate going to the vet with the trauma.  I am anxious to see
how he does the next time we meet a  stranger dog; I am sure we will have
lots of work to do before he is back to normal.  Any further thoughts or
suggestions from any of you would be appreciated.  Norine

                        Like convenience stores you must pay for the
convenience. smile. Yes Star Metro will still have the ticket booth at the
plaza. The plaza will stay in use. People will still be buying weekly passes
along with the monthly pass. 5 busses will still be going to the plaza. They
are  A,B,C,D, an E, Azalea,  Big Bend, Canopy, Dogwood and Evergreen.

                                I wonder if there's going to be any way to
purchase a fare card, after C.K. Steel is closed, a fare card without having
to pay these additional processing fees (and also having to possess a credit
card)?

                                 

                                I wonder how many of Star Metro's riders
don't own a credit card?

StarMetro Offers Online Purchase of 31-Day Fare Card

Today, StarMetro launches a new application that will allow customers to
purchase a 31-day fare card online with a credit card.

"Currently, customers must purchase fare cards at C.K. Steele Plaza or
StarMetro's main offices off of Appleyard Drive; in addition, customers must
have cash to purchase that fare card," said Ron Garrison, executive director
of StarMetro. "By employing this new application, we will make purchasing
StarMetro fare more convenient for our customers."

In order to purchase a 31-day fare card online, customers must first
register for an account. Through a secure provider, the customer must submit
personal information. Once the customer establishes an account, he/she may
be able to use a credit card to purchase the 31-day fare card. The initial
purchase of a 31-day fare card online will total $43.75. This total includes
a $3.00 service charge, which is applied to the purchase of all new
reloadable fare cards, and a $2.75 processing fee. Within three to five
days, the customer should receive their fare card in the mail.

During the registration process, customers may choose to execute the
automatic reload function, which simply reloads the fare card every 31 days.
This reload will total $40.75; all subsequent reloads will total this
amount, which includes the fare of $38.00 plus the $2.75 processing fee. If
a customer chooses not to execute the automatic reload feature, then that
customer will receive an email expiration notice within five days of the
expiration.

"In the future, we hope to offer more than just our 31-day fare card
online," Garrison said.

The StarCard will also allow customers to access information about
StarMetro's partners via a quick response, or QR, code displayed on the back
of the card.
