    A Cincinnati area man whose dog was ordered put down after it attacked another dog tried to pull a fast one on the local SPCA.

    Jason Dotson, as ordered by a court, turned over a pit bull mix for euthanization alright — but it was not the one court ordered to be put down.

    Instead it was one he adopted just days earlier.

    Dotson, 32, of Springfield Township, was sentenced to 28 days in jail for trying to get the SPCA to euthanize the decoy dog.

    “In my 10 years as a judge, I can*t recall a more cold and heartless act,” said Hamilton County Municipal Court Judge Brad Greenberg.

    According to FOX 19, Dotson*s original dog was not on a leash when it attacked a therapy dog and its owner as they were walking.

    Police say the pit bull caused severe injuries to the therapy dog, who has been recovering for the last few months.

    Dotson was charged with failing to confine his animal and he was ordered to put the dog down. But when he brought the substitute dog to the SPCA to be euthanized an “alert” worker spotted the difference in the dog*s coloring.

    Through a microchip, the SPCA confirmed it was a different dog.

    “Defendant brought a dog that wasn*t his dog, said it was his dog, and turned that over to the SPCA so they would destroy an innocent dog that hadn*t done anything to anybody,” said Ryan Nelson, assistant Hamilton County prosecutor.

    Dotson had adopted the dog nine days earlier according to Fox 19, two days earlier according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.

    He was sentenced to 30 days in jail.

    The original dog has since been put down, according to SPCA officials.

    Baby, the pit bull puppy who Dotson tried to pass off as his other dog, remains with the SPCA and will be getting a second chance at adoption.
