Something is off about this whole story is off.
When you adopt a dog from the pound, the pound is supposed to make sure the dog isn’t a killer, people don’t want to adopt killer dogs, that is why they go to pound instead of just picking them up off the street.
A man in Jackson, Tennessee, who adopted a dog Thursday morning ended up being killed by the canine just a few hours later.
Anthony Riggs, 57, adopted the 5-year-old male Rottweiler from Jackson-Madison County Rabies Control, the area’s animal control agency, shortly before 10 a.m., The Jackson Sun reports.
By 3:30 p.m., Riggs was dead in his home and officers were investigating the incident. His wife, Kathy Riggs, dropped by their home with a coworker in the afternoon and found her husband dead.
“The husband was all chewed up,” Madison County Sheriff’s Dept. spokesman Tom Mapes told The Huffington Post. “There was blood everywhere. The sheriff’s report said [Riggs] was found ‘mortally wounded on the floor from the dog attack.'”
The cops shot the dog on sight.
