Glad there is a happy ending to this story. But I have to wonder, if Buster were a different breed, would the situation have escalated as far as it did? I can't help but think that the negative publicity the pit bull breed has received over the past several years played a huge part in how this situation was handled. It's amazing how society feels the need to judge a whole group based on the actions of only a few.
