This week a Norton resident was charged with stealing items from the Kenmore Acme Fresh Market and siccing her dogs on the Acme employee.

What bothers me more about this story than a person using an animal in this way, was the portrayal that the said dogs were pitbulls.

No one can confirm the type of dogs they are, even now.  The misuse of the term "pitbull"  is what gives the said breed a bad name.

While this woman was arrested at her home, one of the dogs also at the residence was taken by officers to Summit County Animal Control.

I am hoping the next story on this incident is not said dog being put down!  Dogs are as good as their owners and can be retrained.

I am hoping officials remove the dogs and get them properly rehomed!
