Meet “ferocious” Newt, a four-pound Chihuahua, who bit the right index finger (puncture wound) of a person breaking up a dog scuffle between this four-pound pooch and another dog in the home. Newt was found roaming the neighborhood and brought back to the victim’s house.
Because Newt has now been designated as a danger to society, a rescue group will be required to sign an indemnity waiver before he can be released. No rescue group has yet to step forward to help. Tragically, Newt is scheduled to be euthanized on Monday because of his “incident.”
Check out Newt’s brief video:

During his assessment at the center, Newt allowed the handler to pick him up and place him on the bench. He showed no concerning behavior.
