If you'd like to email to judge Phyllis Galen in support of Zeus and his owner, a disabled veteran suffering from post-traumatic stress syndrome, depression and terminally ill colon cancer patient who depends on the assistance of his Service dog* :

*According to the ADA definitions (Americans with Disabilities Act) a service animal assists a person with mental, emotional and physical disabilities.
Service dogs are NOT pets but precious assistance animals helping their owners with their multiple disabilities.
44 so called aggressive dogs were given back to their owners in Sarasota County. None of them to be considered a Service dog !
Having trained Search and Rescue dogs for almost 20 years, about 80% of the German Shepherds, I am positive that Zeus is NOT an aggressive or vicious dog and NEEDS TO BE GIVEN BACK TO HIS OWNER WHO DEPENDS ON THE ASSISTANCE OF THIS DOG!
Thank you for caring!
