Buster, a local Steamboat Springs dog, was arrested today for biting an unleashed human. Buster became increasingly frustrated with the pestering human, who, according to the hound, was constantly invading his doghouse.
After many calls for the humane society to correct the problem, Buster finally took matters into his own paws (and jaws). Late last night, when the unleashed human came around to disturb Buster yet again, he lashed out and bit the human pest.

The laws governing this type of irresponsible action by Buster are strict and have no room for leniency.
Buster will be euthanized after paying a $1,000 fine to the city of Steamboat Springs to make up for lower-than-expected tax collections in the last quarter.

Pervert's search for a local loan has not gone well. "I can't even get them to look at the meat in the display case. As soon as I reveal who I am and disclose my legal problems, the local banks won't touch me."
But Pervert has been...
