Shawn Slater, 34, took a number of medications for his anxiety and seizures until he got Nanna. The 3-year-old Rottweiler is a certified medical alert and therapy dog.
"With Nanna, I
didn't take any medication at all,” said Slater. “I was two years clean
off all those drugs. I didn't have problems. I didn't even have to take
her everywhere I went. I'm finally employed again.”
But just before the 4th of July, fireworks in the neighborhood frightened the dog. She forced her way through a hole in the fence and escaped. Even worse, she ripped off her dog tags in the process.
Friends helped put
up fliers through the city, but made the mistake of attaching them to
utility poles and city property, which is illegal.
That's when someone from the police department called.
"If I were to put another sign up, I will be getting a $250 fine and a day in jail per sign,” Slater said the caller told him.
