- A three-year-old dog named Bruce has been euthanized in California following four separate biting incidents that resulted in severe injuries.
- Ventura County Animal Services petitioned for the dog to be declared vicious, leading a judge to affirm a court order for him to be put down to protect public safety.
- Bruce's owners and the Santa Paula Animal Rescue Centre fought a months-long legal battle, offering to place the dog in a secure setting isolated from the public.
- The dog was euthanized after a district court denied an emergency stay.
- An application was pending before the U.S. Supreme Court on the matter, which was rejected the day after Bruce was put down.
