In other Rufus-related news, the Animal Control official called me today. The police report was finalized yesterday, so she just received her copy of it and can now act on the case.
I don’t want to go into much depth about our conversation, but she seemed sad about Rufus’ plight and, given the Akita’s other attack a few weeks earlier on Timber (our huskie-neighbor), she made it sound like she’ll help get this menace to public safety out of our neighborhood.
Yesterday I remembered that I actually posted a pic of Ru’s attacker (King) up on Flickr a little while ago. The caption I wrote seems pretty quaint / naive, given what transpired last week, but here’s the pic. You can click through it to go to the flickr page. Be sure to hit the “All Sizes” button to get a close look at this monster:
You can see why I thought he was a husky/shepard mix, right? I’m no dog expert, obviously.

Actually, you are right. he does not look as much like an Akita as he does a husky. I thought it WAS a husky … although husky-shepherd mix seems even more likely. I doubt he’s purebred.
In any event, he’s gotta go … or they have to put up a real fence.
