In case you have n’t been following the news of this on-going drama , “ Charles the Monarch ” a Labradoodle that was shave down to look like a lion and his naughty proprietor , Daniel Painter , have been making quit a stir . It seems the non - compliant dog owner does n’t seem to see that when a justice tells you tokeep a leash on your pooch , it is n’t just a suggestion .
In fact , Painter was caught on photographic camera rent his would - be - King dog run loose just hours after he agreed to a plea that stated he was not to do this again . Charlie was pluck up by the respectable folks at theNorfolk Animal Care Centerwhere he was detained , yet again , while Painter was cover with this situation .
Unfortunately , for the reprehensible canine and his proprietor , Sis was fully onboard with the law and promised to bring Charlie back to the Norfolk deftness where he would wait a novel syndicate to take on him … hopefully , one that would understand the trinity laws well than Painter .

But Charlie ’s owner was n’t about to roll over and let his dear fur child be assume away from him . Later that week he kick the bucket beforeJudge Trevor Robinson , who then signed off on a novel correspondence for the click owner;build a fencing or install an galvanic fenceand use a 3 when out in populace at all times .
It also seems ole ' Charles had the okay to run liberal when he was doing mascot work atOld Dominion University , according to this raw accord . The only problem was , Charlie never was an official mascot at this school and he did n’t have any engaged gigs there in the future either .
Even thoughthe prospects of being zapped by an electric shockin your own backyard may not be pleasant for the canine , his proprietor was also ordered to a 60 day clink sentence , a $ 2,500 fine , along with residential district service and a report on the suffering of letting your dog function amuck .

To date , Painter ’s fines were slim down to a simple $ 250 , all jail time was set aside and he only needs to do 40 time of day of community overhaul and be on two years of respectable behavior ( in other words , KEEP YOUR DOG ON A tether ) ! He was also reunited with his furred wanna - be lion .
But this still was n’t something Felis concolor could stick to , so he went after a license to have Charliecertified as a service dogbecause he claim to suffer from epilepsy . This tactic did n’t work and was later turned down because of the pending causa against Painter .
Although , this tenacious Canis familiaris possessor keep to have Charlie involve in charity study ( and was even onGood Morning Americawhere they metRob Lowe ) I ’m not sure what his reasoning is to so blatantly disregard a simple leash jurisprudence . Is it fame , money or just the pure disregard for the safety of his dog ? You decide …
