This is a photo journey of Marley the Nowzad Animal Rescue, who came into my life in Kabul, Afghanistan. He was roughly 6-7 weeks old when I rescued him off the streets of Kabul.
However, he is now the victim of a VERY overzealous Animal Control Agency. Marley is a lab/shepard mix that has been trained to be protective and my children were playing cops and robbers. My oldest is 15 was wearing a mask with a toy gun chasing my 5yr old and wrestling him on the ground. Marley took this as a legitimate threat and went protection mode and nipped my 15yr old son. As a result, a nosy neighbor called Animal Control who now want him euthanized... My family and I are FIGHTING for his life to STOP this horrendous miscarriage of "Justice" and a long line of Black Booted tactics by the Bay County, Florida Animal Control Agency.
With YOUR help we can save Marley and hundreds of other Dogs that have fallen into this travesty of Government Overreach into Personal Property rights and protect our family pets from out of control government agencies!

This is completely ridiculous! No parent would protect a vicious dog over their own child, so obviously this dog is NOT a threat to their family members or anyone else! Common sense, please, and let this family, human and canine alike, remain together!
If the "attack" by the 15 year old boy was genuine, this dog would be getting an award for protecting the younger child. The dog was not to know it was just a game. he is clearly loyal and protective and one day might just save the kid's life for real.
Seems to me that there's a horrible injustice going on with regard to Marley. This dog was simply being protective and nipped a 15 year old...no stitches even. No cause for a dog to be put down. Release Marley back to her family now! This is awful.
How sad that this family is being put through this terrible ordeal. I have a beautiful dog from the same area from which Johnothan rescued Marley. My girl has the the same loving and trusting temperament. Look at the trust and love in those eyes!
This dog is still a puppy and is still learning from his mistakes. He shouldn't be punished for this by death. It's like saying you should kill a little kid because he pinched a teenager during a game of cops and robbers. You wouldn't kill him right?
You have no right keeping this dog away from his living owners! Give him back now!!!!!!!!
What the hell is wrong with humans, I’m on the post board Hanks heros. We need to get the going through Facebook with the posters for save Hsnk
