'Buster' Busted for Butt-Snacking

Written by GUEST CONTRIBUTOR Gordon Speck, Steamboat Springs, CO Monday, 27 June 2011

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.

This incriminating photo was taken moments before Buster plunged his fangs into the buttocks of a man Buster claimed was trespassing on 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.

Originally, Buster claimed he thought it was the mailman, who is accustomed to being bitten, which would have been legally permissable. After an intense interview by the humane society, however, Buster truthfully vented his frustrations and came clean. 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.
