                              *********************************
WE the undersigned URGE  you to reconsider KILLING poor Smokey.
After watching  the video of him, its clear that even after surviving the cruel bashing, and being run over, and now being caged, he shows no real aggression to the people video taping him.

As for his biting history - the very best of dogs will bite when cornered, or cruelly
treated.
If their attempted disposal of him is any indication of the treatment he received regularly at his cruel owners hands, it's surprising he didn't bite more than once.
Its to Smokey's credit that he has retained a calm attitude given his circumstances.
There are MANY rescues or sanctuaries.. who take in dogs such as Smokey and give them a new lease on life..
Smokey deserves the opportunity to be evaluated by a professional who deals with cases such as his, on a regular basis.
WE trust that since this case has attained International exposure, you'll do the right thing and take any decisions concerning Smokey's future AWAY from the very same cruel people who attempted (illegally) to kill him, and have admitted publically that they did this act of cruelty,on the news!!

****************************************************
Please save this dog, and relay to the county to do their jobs and demand justice!
Smokey deserves a good home, and to live on in peace!.
 

SARGE from Toledo Ohio ..was in much the same state.
His cruel owner L MICK shot him 6 times, and then wanted Sarge to be PTS/ KILLED due to his so called aggression.
Sarge is now thankfully off to live at the DOGTOWN/ BESTFRIENDS SOCIETY in Utah USA. ..we caused a public outcry and it  helped save his life.
Sarge in current photos and updates is looking really well and happy, with no signs of being aggressive, and he and his wonderful trainer John Brown  formed a great rapport.
WHY CANT THIS BE DONE FOR SMOKEY?? he needs an angel like John Brown!!

TO LET THEM KNOW YOUR CONCERN ABOUT SMOKEY..please be very polite.
I urge..everyone to keep all emails,faxes and messages short and to the point.
If you make a call to any people involved with Smokey..PLEASE BE polite and positive. I understand our fury..but we still need to maintain manners.

AUG 25TH UPDATE!!!
Smokey is to kept as evidence until after the 2 people who so cruelly beat him, then run him over, have been to court again..this could be weeks..?? late September 2010.
Smokey is to remain at the GREENE COUNTY ANIMAL CONTROL!
Smokey is still somewhat on deathrow, and his fate is held in the hands of Harold Brown and the County Prosecutors!!
We will be watching this..very closely.!
We hope that every effort will be kept up..in the hunt for a new home at a sanctuary for Smokey is made.
We also hope that poor Smokey is given a bed to sleep on!..his body must ache from his ordeal..and yet he must lie on a concrete floor!
We ask too that Smokey is given access to daily walks and positive human interaction!

This is where Smokey sits...and waits!
PLEASE ...be polite with all your efforts!!! 
This is all for Smokey.

FAIRBORN, Ohio -- The controversy over an abused dog and its owners has gone from a local court case to an international incident.
The Greene County Animal Control Agency is being bombarded with telephone calls and emails from around the world.
The controversy began with an abused dog whose owners are accused of trying to kill it.
The dog, named Smokey, has been quarantined at Greene County Animal Control.
People are arguing that Smokey should be allowed to live and that his owners are the only ones who should be punished.
Chastity Elliott was charged with trying to kill the dog by hitting it with a car.
Robert Profitt also faces the same charges and both of them pleaded not guilty in court...on August 19th. 
However, after nursing the dog back to good health, animal control was left with the decision of what do to with Smokey.
Harold Brown said, the original owner came in and requested it be put to sleep because of its history, temperament, that she did not trust because it bit her nephew.
Talk of putting the dog down has prompted animal welfare activists to launch a full-blown campaign to save the dog.
A woman in Australia created Smokeys own Facebook page. ..
THATS ME!!!
(Jayne Cvetanoski/ NoKill Day is my name).

A woman from Florida has launched a petition campaign.
Cat Simpson said upon reading about Smokey, she was "horrified. I read the story and it still chokes me up and I saw the news video.
Nothing would warrant this type of action towards that type of animal.
News Center 7 obtained the police report of the dog biting a boy in Montgomery County in May.
After considering the dogs history, animal control decided it will not release the animal to anyone.
Brown said,this particular dog is to be euthanized humanely for his own benefit at the request of the owner and to protect society that we are trying to protect.
The county did not disclose when the dog will be put down, but it said it cannot even release Smokey to a rescue operation that takes in abused dogs like this.
As for Elliott and Profit, they will face trial on animal cruelty charges, they next appear in court on August 31st 2010.


WHY CANT SMOKEY BE MOVED TO A SANCTUARY/ RESCUE GROUP
MR. BROWN?...please listen, and dont block or turn away from all alternative options.  DEATH is not the answer!!
You Sir...ARE SUPPOSED TO BE A VET...a man that actually tries to save animals, to do what ever he could to preserve an animals life!!
SHOW US THAT YOU CAN DO THE RIGHT THING BY SMOKEY..please. 
Smokey is a gorgeous dog..he must be given the chance to live.
2 of his groomers Bonnie and Amanda...have both said on his support page, what a nice dog he is, and that they were never concerned he would bite!
SMOKEY..its said, always loved having a scarf around his neck after grooming, and would not get off the table til it was on him.
SMOKEY..is a great dog..he just needs a loving guiding person to bring this all out in him again..:)
Please..talk to these 2 lovely ladies and find out first hand their accounts of his past manner..you might be happlily surprised!..Jayne
