Sending All The Love
Dan’s page was flooded with messages conveying love for Diggy from all over the world. Suddenly Diggy had become center of the attraction among thousands of people. Dan couldn’t have been happier. But, the happiness was short-lived as something sad was waiting for them.
Very Happy
The post’s caption read “We know this photo is going to break the internet and we apologize, but we had to share. After almost 100 days in the shelter, Sir Wiggleton just got adopted. Sir Wiggleton and his new Dad are celebrating adoption day with huge smiles all around!”
Left Perplexed
Dan was a fun loving person and now he had found his partner in crime. The duo did many stupid and amusing things together. But, when after a few days of the picture going viral the Watford Police Department Came to Dan’s house, he was left confused and had a natural question in his mind, ” why?”
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.
Didn’t Worry
Dan was hopeful that the police would leave the issue by giving Dan a warning as he knew that his dog was not dangerous in any sense. He said, “When they went to the gate [to] actually see him, he licked their face, was very kind,” Dan explained to WWJ. “They said, we’re dog lovers, that’s cool, he seems like a good boy. Took some pictures of him.”
Looking Alike
Though the dog was an American Bulldog he had a striking resemblance to Pit Bull. At first sight, anyone would mistake him for a pit bull. Many people had done so before and that is what happened with the person who filed the complaint and now the police officials were having the same confusion.
