Euthenizing a 'Gay' Dog


Meet this poochie.  Isn't he sweet looking?  He's a pit-bulldog mix who came to the Jackson Rabies Control Animal Shelter in Jackson, Tennessee, because his owner didn't want to keep a homosexual dog.  Apparently he sniffed another male dog and attempted to mount him.  Ignoring flippant absurdity for the moment, the dog was modeling dominant behavior by mounting - not indicating a sexual preference.  Sadly the rabies control shelter has a high kill rate and there was no room for him to stay.  But fortunately this story has a happy ending.

An anonymous source posted the story to the Jackson facebook page where the story went viral.  Offers quickly poured in, but he was happily claimed early that morning by new owner Stephanie Frye a vet tech.  Stephanie has named him Elton John and says he's settling in.
