Is this the face of a viscious dog?


No....but it's the face of an escape artist who is costing her mommy hundreds of dollars. This sweet looking Houdini of a dog has broken yet another clasp to her leash outside. While I was home for lunch today I put her out. As I went to bring her in she shakes, gets off her leash and takes off. I chase after her for a bit, but as I needed to get back to work I left her knowing she would be waiting at the back door when I got home later. Fast forward to 5:30pm. I come home and see a yellow tag on my doorknob. It's from Animal Control saying "call me ASAP" I had left my front door unlocked so I find my dog inside knowing she was bad. I call the number to find out that I am being cited for having a "viscious dog". Apparantly while she was out galavanting she decided to chase some kids and bark at them. Bear in mind these are the same jerk kids who run past her and scream high pitched screams at her. So yeah, she's gonna chase 'em....al they do is tease her. So come to find out, now I have to go to court and either prove she isn't viscious (which apparantly is impossible to do as she barked at the Animal Control officer too) plead guilty or plead no contest. I was advised that the best thing was to just plead no contest as that admits neither fault nor guilt. But, I will have to pay over $100 in fines AND I have to shell out several hundred dollars to buy her a kennel. Since she is "viscious" she can no longer be attached to a leash....she must be contained. For now, she is padlocked (yes, I said padlocked) to her leash so she can't get off of it. I swear if it's not one thing it's another.
