Kuhn's dog recently died at the end of it's tether. Kuhn may have already acquired a dog. If not, he will likely be looking for one to tie up in his back yard.

Ozzy Abandoned in Oct. now needs home, ASAP
Ozzy is in dire need of adoption. He is at the South Animal Care and Adoption Center in Melbourne, FL.
Months ago, this boy was posted on Craigslist by his owner and given away to Renee Chambers (full name Maria Renee Karaguovanis Chambers) and Jason Witty. They abandoned Ozzy (and two other dogs) after tying him up outside in a yard with empty cans and trash. Brevard County did a 'fitness to own' judgment against the new owners and now have custoday of Ozzy.
Ozzy has been at the shelter since October 27, 2009. He has remained friendly and cheerful. He is using up a kennel that other dogs need, though, so Ozzy must get adopted.

UPDATE: Cat Shooting by Lester, Letters to State Attorney's office
The State Attorney's office has decided there is "insufficient evidence" against "Bob" Lester for shooting his gun in a residential area five times and seriously injuring his neighbor's cat.
The SA cited shooting to protect property from damage and that a hog is a nuisance animal as facts in the investigation that warrant no action by the State. Per a written reply to the victim: "there is insufficient evidence to overcome Mr. Lester's claim that he believed he was shooting at a hog and that he had no intention of harming [the] cat."
The screams after each shot were obviously from a cat, as two witnesses have stated. Yet, the State Attorney's office believes that Lester continued to think he was shooting a pig. A pig that did not squeal but screamed like a cat, [shot]again and [shot]again and [shot]again.
The SA wrote: "the Animal Services Officer would testify that based upon his review of the facts, this is not an animal cruelty case". Another agency that believes that Lester continued to think he was shooting a pig after each shot he made resulted in a cat scream.
There is also the question of what is humane killing. Per http://myfwc.com/License/Permits_NuisWild.htm
The State Attorney's office remains consistent in not bringing charges in cases such as this.

property owners may take nuisance wildlife, as long as the animals are destroyed humanely.One has to wonder what definition of humane includes shooting four times; maiming but not killing.
