Dog dilemma<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Pending a federal lawsuit, the ownership of a dog named Max was up in the air for about five years.\u00a0 He was not allowed to be adopted or euthanized until a settlement was reached.\u00a0Max has been described as a vicious dog who apparently attacked individuals who came to the home of his owner, to take him to the hospital.\u00a0 The emergency responders claimed the dog ran from the home after the alleged attack and was seen running around town.\u00a0 Although the owner, Charlie Holt, was admitted into the hospital, the shelter that picked up Max said Holt was too late in claiming him.\u00a0 Due to Holt\u2019s stay in the hospital, it would have been impossible for him to come for the dog during the shelter\u2019s five-day window.\u00a0As a result, Holt filed a lawsuit in 2016.<\/p>\n

The purpose of the lawsuit was to fight for Max<\/a> to be returned into Holt\u2019s custody.\u00a0 Unfortunately, Charlie Holt passed away in 2018, leaving his family to pick up the lawsuit where he left off.\u00a0 Within the past month, the parties involved have come to agreeable terms and Max has found a new home.\u00a0 Michael Privett took in the hyper 7-year-old German shepherd and has been training him into a better dog.\u00a0 Privett\u2019s background is in veterinary medicine and has extensive experience working with animals that have been neglected.<\/p>\n

Privett recognizes Max\u2019s prior experience living in a shelter and does not take his behavior lightly.\u00a0 He has refrained from allowing Max near other humans but is happy to report that Max gets along well with the other animals on Privett\u2019s property in Columbia, South Carolina.\u00a0 Privett has also assured the public that Max has not acted violently toward him and encourages positive training over negative reinforcement.\u00a0 With the lawsuit over, the specifications within the settlement have not been revealed to the public, however, the parties came to a decision out of court.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
