Car-mauling dog is sentenced

Winston, the Tennessean-pit-bull mix, who attacked a police car in March, has been ordered to take obedience training.

Here's an article from MSNBC.com. Be sure and watch the video of the dog fighting with the patrol car.

The Chattanooga Times Free Press reported that a judge ruled that Winston had been a very bad dog. He was sentenced to obedience and canine good citizen classes, and he'll have to wear a tag that says he is "potentially dangerous."

Winston got out of an enclosed area March 18 and attacked the police car, tearing off part of the front bumper and damaging the tires.

If the dog successfully completes the classes, charges against his owner will be dismissed.
