Now THAT’S Ironic

Author of Anti-dangerous Dog Bill attacked by own dog

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - The author of a new state law that allows felony charges against owners of dangerous dogs was hospitalized over the weekend after his own dog attacked him.

Bob Schwartz, who also is Gov. Bill Richardson’s crime adviser, was hospitalized at University of New Mexico Hospital on Sunday night with bites on both his arms, said Pahl Shipley, a spokesman for the governor.

Schwartz was instrumental in getting a law passed during this year’s regular legislative session that would allow felony charges to be filed against owners of dogs deemed dangerous or potentially dangerous and that seriously injure or kill another animal or person.

You just can’t make this stuff up.

Im glad that he didnt oppose such a law. Everyone would be speaking a much different tone if there was a 4 year old girl involved.
