Half a dozen NGOs and similar organizations have come forward to adopt a Pitbull dog that mauled its 82-year-old elderly female owner to death in Lucknow. Not only this, but half a dozen other common people have also contacted the Municipal Corporation to adopt the Pitbull dog.
The deceased was a retired teacher who lived with his gym trainer son and his two pet dogs - a pitbull and a labrador in the Kaiserbagh area of Lucknow. The dog which attacked the woman, named Brownie, was brought home three years ago.
The Lucknow Municipal Corporation (LMC) then shifted the dog to Nagar Nigam's animal birth control centre. He was kept in observation by four members of the panel to examine his behaviour.
