The Final (Hopefully) Saga Of Ozzy The Dog

Ozzy, the heroic German shepherd who attacked two people, had his execution overturned yesterday and was re-sentenced to life in prison. If only we cared this much about people being given the death penalty!

As you may remember, Ozzy was sentenced to death for attacking two people, but after media attention was granted a stay of execution by the governor or something. But then an auctioneer in Delco saw the story and said, “Hey, maybe he could guard the prison!” And guard the prison he will, as he’ll patrol the fenced-in areas between the old and new prisons at Delaware County Prison.

But who’s the real hero here? Who else: The Daily News.

After the appeals hearing, [Kelley] Allard, who owned Ozzy since he was a pup, handed a “We Love Ozzy” T-shirt to her lawyer.

She thanked the Daily News for bringing Ozzy’s story to the public’s attention and Delaware County auctioneer George Wilson for reading that story and suggesting the prison K9 alternative sentencing.

Eh, whatever. Good for Ozzy. Now he can bite prisoners, and as we all know, in this country we don’t give a lick what happens to people once they’re in jail!

Local Dog Sentenced To Death

Ozzy has to die. And Philly.com has decided it’s the #1 story for the day. I love Philadelphia. But please don’t scare me like that again, Inquirer. For a second I thought Ozzy Osbourne was being executed for ROCKING TOO HARD.
