Dogs are the most friendly and loyal creatures in this world. There would hardly be anyone who won’t agree with this fact. Among many dog lovers, one was this man from Michigan. His happy time with his dog unluckily didn’t last long, as a selfie became the reason for him to stand in front of a jury.
Fond Of Dogs
Dan Tillery lives with his girlfriend Megan in Waterford Township, Michigan. Dan is an ambitious guy with a long list of wishes. The first one among them is to have a house of his own where he could live with his beautiful girlfriend and a dog. He was in love with dogs and always wanted a dog by his side but unfortunately, the owner of the apartment he was living in, had prohibited the staying of dogs. He really wanted a home of his own!
Home Sweet Home!
After accumulating enough money Dan and his girlfriend finally purchased their own home in June 2016 and when they got into their house the first thing they decided was to bring in was a dog. But, what happened after they brought this bundle of joy to their home is surprising.
No Issues
It was after a month while talking to the Oakland Press that he said, “[My girlfriend and I] have been wanting a dog forever, but the place we were renting would not allow dogs. We just recently purchased our first home. All ours. And dogs are allowed.”
It Was The One
After the couple made up their mind to bring a dog to their house, the next major problem was to come to an agreement on which kind of dog to bring. It was sheer luck that while on his search for a dog Dan saw an American bulldog named Sir Wiggleton in a shelter where the dog had been taking refuge for the past 100 days.
Online Sensation!
In no time, Diggy became a social media sensation as Dan would post all his pictures on the social networking sites. His smile had won over people’s heart. Surprisingly, one of the pictures which Dan took of the dog provoked someone to call the police. Dan had no idea about it.
Committed A Crime
It was illegal to keep pitbull and pit bull mixes as a pet in Watford, the police informed Dan. According to the law they were deemed as “dangerous dogs”. Since it was a crime to be found in possession of one, the only possible option left for Dan was to return it to the Detroit Dog Rescue or else pay the consequences. Dan was left baffled.
