Car-eating dog set free

On March 14, Winston left four cars - two of them Chattanooga police patrol vehicles - with flat tyres and at least one missing bumper because of his aggression.

Mr. Emerling and his mother, Nancy Emerling, said they planned to take Winston home after a court hearing and felt lucky that he'd have a chance to go through court-ordered obedience training.



Chattanooga City Judge Sherry Paty said she will drop the citation for Winston being a "potentially dangerous dog" after six months if training is successful and no other problems occur.

Winston has been a "model prisoner" at McKamey, their lawyer said. "Actually, he'd been a model pet up until that Sunday," Mr. Emerling noted, still baffled by Winston's actions.
