The article stated: "Coronetz said shelter workers indicated to her that the dog had a checkered past." The immediate questions in my mind are: If the dog was a known troublemaker, why was the owner allowed to keep the dog and why was the owner not punished for the previous transgressions? Maybe this time some action will be taken against the owner, for letting a known problem dog run loose, and the dog will be put down. Hopefully, New York won't follow Denver's illogical solution and "round up" all Rottweilers.
