I hope everything turns out for the best and that the dog gets to be with it's family

I hope everythign works out and Congo wins his appeal. I'm sure his family is happy to have him back.

I hope Congo wins his appeal!!!

glad the dog is home

Run, Congo, run! I am happy that Congo is back at home for now and I hope that he will win his appeal. This is clearly a human error on the workers part and not anything intentionally malicious on Congo's part. FREE CONGO!! LONG LIVE CONGO!!

I am glad the dog is able to be home. I hope his family will be able to be saved. He is lucky that they care enough to fight for him.

I'm glad that the dog is home on appeal. I really think he was just defending his owner and his home. I hope everything works out for his family.

Not having been there or having enough info - who can say for sure, but it sure sounds like the dog was protecting and also possibly agitated by the gardeners. I pray that all works out for the family and Congo.

i agree keeping fighting for this dog.

Keep fighting for Congo.

Hope all works out for Congo and his family.

I'm glad Congo's home for now. I hope it's permanent.

It is hard to tell from the info in the story if Congo should be punished but I am glad he is home pending appeal given what appears to be disputed facts in the case. It appears this was decided by a judge not a jury and it appears the facts as to whether this was a provoked or unprovoked attack are in dispute.

If the puppies in fact had injuries then it would seem the preponderance of evidence would show the dogs were protecting their puppies from injuries by the landscapers in which case they were acting appropriately on their own property and the landscapers were acting inappropriately.

Good luck to them and the dog is where it should be while the case is pending appeal.

dogs are bred to 'PROTECT AND SERVE" how do they know the difference?

Thanks for the update........FREE CONGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why do people think it is so terrible when a dog attacks someone on the dogs property. Sure, it's bad, but not death penalty bad. Humans can murder entire families & only get life where they're pampered for years in prison. If you only murder 1 person, you're usually out in 10 years or less to do it again. But I'm glad the dog is finally home. I hope he gets to stay.

I am so glad you updated us-please keep us posted.

Thank you for the update and I so hope Congo gets to stay at home.

Thank you so very much for the update-I hope Congo gets to stay home with his family.

Great update. I hope everything works out and Congo can stay at home with his family. :)

thanks for the update.....hope all works out.

Best Wishes to you Congo and your family

Good Update

Thank goodness Congo is home. Let's hope he gets to stay there!

Leave the dog alone! The landscaper was trespassing in the dogs opinion!

I don't understand this. Crazy what people believe to be their rights when they themselves are offending others rights. This poor dog only did what he thougth was best....protecting his human!

i hope he gets to stay home

I hope he gets to stay home.

After hearing all the events I am glad they are fighting so hard for him. I would too if my dog was only trying to protect me. If someone pulled me down to the ground and my dog heard me scream she would also have protected me.

Hope the owners are a little more aware of the dog's whereabouts now....

Not sure I know enough of the story to full say what happened but hopefully it will settle peacefully for all.

I don't know the whole story but I can see that dog doesnt look mean to me...He looks like he wants to kiss u

why was this dog where he could get a hold of someone?? where was the owner??

yeah yeah whatever the dog bit a guy but what happened to second chances? did the guy do anything to provoke the dog?

Let this family get back to living their lives with their 5 dogs. FREE Congo!

This dog should never of been arrested to begin with. Free Congo & fine the landscapers!

Good update

I hope for a good ending for everyone. Just from watching the video it seems like Congo is a good dog. If he was really a dangerous dog would they endanger their child? Again, just from what I've seen in the video, it seems like Congo was provoked, in which case he nor his family should be held responsible.

I also agree with Mary P---well stated, Mary!

I am glad that he is home.

=]

Nice that he is home

I agree with Mary P

Hopefully this matter will be fairly dealt with.

I agree with you Mary.

Just saw something on TV about another dog (another German Shepherd) who just "got off" on a biting charge.

If a dog is provoked or if the owner tells someone to stay clear of the dog and they fail to & something happens I say the dog or his owner are not responsible.

good thing the dog gets a bit of freedom, but i hope its all taken care of soon

Happy for the dog.

I'm glad that they have figured out how to give this dog a little freedom while waiting trial.
