B.C. pit bull again sprung from pound

[Marty]

Edmonton,Alberta, Canada -- Someone has shown dogged determination in stalling Triton the pit bull's date with the executioner, breaking him out of the Kamloops pound for a second time. The jail break was masterminded by someone who smashed a window at the pound early yesterday, city bylaw services supervisor Mike LaPierre said.

Only Triton, which had been judged to be a danger to the public, was missing.

Triton's owner, Jackie Robillard, appeared in provincial court later in the day to ask for an extension in the city's case to have the dog euthanized while she consults with a lawyer.

Triton's troubles with the city began in September when he was caught running at large, twice.

He was taken into custody in October, after he lunged at two passersby - one a police officer. The city decided Triton was dangerous and kept him behind bars.

But, on Halloween weekend, someone broke into the pound and busted out with Triton.

Undeterred, city RCMP found the dog a week later while at an apartment on an unrelated matter.

This time, though, the delinquent doggy has remained in custody while the city sought a destruction order - until now.

RCMP are investigating the break-in, and the city will continue with its case against Robillard and Triton - with or without the dog.

dammit....my neighbor's poodle just bit me last night. i had one of my apbts in the front yard playing tug-of-war when the stupid dog ran up to us growling. this poodle is left to run loose on our street. he's considered "innocent" and "harmless" byt the owners. it was all i could do to get my dog inside (where she stried to jump through a window to get back outside & damaged the glass :)). i then went back outside to get my rope & dog's bone, when i noticed the lil piece of shit was trying to make off with the bone. i reached down & grabbed it and the thing bit me-drew blood from 2 canines-in the hand. i tried to talk the owner, but he cussed me out & said i shoudl've just let the dog had the bone! anyway, i called animal control, who was closed, so i called the sherriff. they didn't do a thing!! just warned the guy to keep his dog in his yard & told me to call a.c. today & take it up with them. then asked me if those were pit bulls in my house. so what? if my dog bit that dog can you imagine the trouble i'd be in? it's not over....not by a long shot. my husband took pics of my bleeding hand last night & i'm on my way know to a.c. & then the state trooper's hq if need be. & i won't be satisified till the poodles "gone" and people understand that it's not a pit bull's fault that people get bit in this world
