‘Charles the Monarch’ again found wandering the streets of Norfolk

Ya know, the owner has made a lot of people angry. Somebody is going to get smart and give the dog a haircut, and then take it to another city's pound.

Charles got picked up and taken to Norfolk Animal Care and Adoption Center by someone who found him wandering the mean streets. They had just withdrawn charges against his owner back in December for failure to control an animal resulting from complaints of the dog wandering the neighborhood. O.o

Article from April 2016:

Daniel Painter, the owner of Charles, was charged with failure to exercise proper care and control of his animal. He pleaded guilty to the charge, and received a total of 60 days in jail and $2,500 fine suspended — conditioned on two years good behavior — and a total of six agreed to provisions.

The city says Painter agreed that he will lose custody of Charles if the dog is found at-large again. If that happens, Charles would be handed over to the city, and then be adopted out to a “responsible owner.”

This is like the "distraction narrative" of Norfolk, lol

I used to live a couple doors down. Charles is cool as fuck and just roams the area in the summer. It's just a few animal haters that make this into a storyline.
