A three-woman jury Friday acquitted a military veteran of owning a vicious dog, the Montrose Daily Press reports.
The case of Jeremiah Aguilar and his dog, Dutch, had garnered national interest, and 308,304 people signed an online petition to prevent the American Allaunt from being euthanized.
Dutch bit a Montrose woman in November. After the attack, the Montrose Municipal Court ruled the dog be put down. The order to destroy the dog was stayed while Aguilar appealed to the county court.
Aguilar's acquittal saved Dutch's life, according to Montrose City Attorney Steve Alcorn, who said the pair have been reunited and will be leaving the state.
According to Aguilar, the dog bit the woman — who was also Dutch's former owner — only after being struck. However, the woman claims she was attacked after trying to break up a fight between Dutch and another dog.
Aguilar registered Dutch as a service dog after the attack.
