I grew up in Plymouth.. That man is NO THREAT to anyone nor his dog.. SO knowing he loves to be homeless he chooses too.. Thats not a big deal. .So he wants to have a mans best friend.. WHO cares.. Who is going to pay for the shots for the dog.. If your so worried about his dog biting people then you pay for the dogs shots. This man is a Great man.. And has done NO HARM.. Maybe next time you will think twice before getting so close to his dog.

I agree with “robertdrowning”. I too have talked with Todd and even petted Shytkee. NO THREAT!!! Leave Todd and his dog alone. I just may buy him a new one, repeatedly.

PLEASE, no one buy him another wolf! I don’t know who gave him a dog this time, but I hope you have learned from your mistake.

I have followed this and the last post. I don’t get into town that often, but on my last trip in I did see Todd and his dog on a walk. Although they didn’t seem very threatening, a semi-wild dog is hard to predict how it will behave.

I feel bad for Todd that he has lost his companion that he no doubt felt very close to. However I suspect this could have been mitigated had the dog had a mouth cage when in public. In some areas these are required for all dogs classified as “aggressive” or “fight dogs”.

Perhaps the city ought to consider (if it doesn’t already have one) an animal ordinance that does exactly this (provide for the mouth cage).

As for Todd, it seems like the consensus is at best horribly mis-understood and at worst mentally Ill. In the later case there most be some kind of half-way house were good housing and assurance that he stays on his medications would be provided for.

Hopefully the entire community can take something away from this action of last resort.

I”m sure there’ll be pros and cons about this, but his way of life is his choice, and I”ve seen the dog lunge at people and kids walking by with no provocation. I feel bad for both of them, but sometimes protecting other people is more important, and we’re all hoping Todd can deal with it. A wild animal does not belong in the city.

If this dog was as vicious as you claimed he would have done plenty of damage to the clerks arm/ hand. He was no doubt protecting his owner and it was Todds fault for NOT controlling him. I’m ashamed of the judge and the humane society for killing this dog. The dog wasn’t even observed for the 10 days, great job Marshall county.

I will continue to pray for Todd and Shyrtkee. I have talked to Todd several times over the years, always give a little wave when I see him….and say the usual little prayer, “There, but for the Grace of God, go I.”

May, Todd, someday, find the peace he deserves as a human being.
