I am a friend of Otis Clark, Jr, and the way the media has spun this an outrage to this man, not the dog. This was an accident. This collar was placed on the dog in early winter because Shadow(which is her real name) kept breaking her run. The collar was purchased at walmart where the packaging suggested it would keep the dog from breaking free. (Which was true) The dogs coat became very thick over the winter. A ten year old boy cared for the dog. This dog lived on a "dog run" that ran the depth of the family yard. The run was at least 100 foot long. In the spring when the family went to turn the dog out and clean her up from the winter (i.e. shave and bath) they discovered the collar embedded in her neck. They immediately went and bought a harness for the dog so the embedded collar was not going to be used. While they were trying to determine the best way to handle the situation(pay a vet to remove it or could they give the dog pain meds and remove it themselves) Shadow broke her run and was found by a neighbor. The neighbor then took the dog to the animal shelter. When the dog warden came to the house, Mr Otis Clark, being the man of the house obviously spoke with the warden. He explained the situation. This warden in turn took the dog and did what ever it is the do to get charges brought against him. Now some could say that I am saying these things because I am a friend of the family. But because I am a friend of the family I was actually present the day after the collar was found. I was present when the family discussed how to handle the situation. I was present when, this man struggled with how he was going to pay for surgery for this dog. Yes he is responsible for the welll being of this dog. And yes he should be held accountable for this incident, however he is the monster the media has portrayed him to be. Haven't any of you ever hurt some one unnintentionally? Should you have been deemed a monster and an abuser. This man has recieved death threats. He has endured a ridiculous amount of hate mail and verbal bashing in the news and the papers. This dog is happy and healthy. She was not dehydrated nor malnourished when she was found and she was so friendly the dog warden took her to her personal home where she was kept until she was picked up by Otis Clark, Jr. The lesson in this story is for people to only believe none of what they hear and half of what they see. The golden rule is to treat others as you want to be treated. So unless you want to be ridiculed and demonstritized the next time you make a mistake, LAY OFF THIS MAN. The media did not get this side of the story and the dog warden and SPCA have used it there advantage. There donations increase tremondously when there are cases like this tried in the media. I look forward to all the comments I get back on this posting. And Thank You Patty for actually thinking things through and realizing there had to be another side to the story.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1675','stacey'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('1675','stacey','I have been listening to this bull for entirely too long to not say anything.

Also, I can compare this issue to whatever I see fit. For those of us who are not able to have children, our pets ARE our children. You are part of the problem, that ongoing group of people that think "it's just a dog" and doesn't deserve the same care that "human" children do. Do you know what one of the Webster's dictionary definitions of "rape" is? "Any act of plunder, violence, abuse, despolation or violation." So you see dear Patty, not only children or even women can be the victims of rape. There IS a comparison. You just don't want to see it. I have a dog that was neglected and abused by a former owner and I would be just as devistated if she were put back in his care. I guess it's the age old story - you won't "get it" until it happens to you....and it might.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1674','Lisa'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('1674','Lisa','Patty, I love how people tell you not to judge as they sit and judge others...very funny.

Let me put it to you this way, since, you just don't get it. Your child has been raped, stripped of all strength and dignity. The courts decide to give your child some more time with the accused. How would this make you feel? Be careful, karma is a powerful thing. I happened to do some research on this topic and those in Mr. Lyons county are hiding out. There is a huge uprising and I for one am thrilled! ALL INTERESTED PARTIES I found out, after some badgering - his email is: parkerb@butlercountyohio.org. WRITE TODAY TO GET THIS DOG RELEASED!!!!
