Pitbull Rebels, Reshapes Master

Both these articles were in the news on the same day. I think the stories could somehow be connected. This first is about a pit bull. It reads:ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - A man whose genitals were bitten off by a pit bull remained in serious condition Tuesday, and the dog remained on the loose. The man, who has not been identified, was attacked Monday while walking the dog. When police arrived to help, the man appeared disoriented and fled on foot but police tracked him to a nearby park, said Detective Jeff Arbogast of the Albuquerque Police Department.The man was naked when found at the park, but it was unclear at what point he had taken off his clothes. Neighbors had seen him playing with the dog earlier in the day.Arbogast said investigators do not know why the man was naked, and remain uncertain about some circumstances surrounding the attack.The brown pit bull remained missing Tuesday, and police warned people who see it to stay away and call animal control.A nearby elementary school was locked down following the incident and parents were called to pick up students who usually walk home.Shortly after the attack Monday, Gov. Bill Richardson released a statement saying he would proposed legislation next year aimed at holding owners of dangerous dogs accountable for their pets.

THe second one is about a statue with questionable physical attributes ALBANY, N.Y. - Government cutbacks are hitting a continental soldier below the belt.The statue of Copper John, a continental soldier that sits atop the state's Auburn Correctional Facility, was removed earlier this summer for renovation.The beloved figure is set to return to his perch this fall, albeit a lesser man.Workers sprucing up the 156-year-old statue were told to reduce the size of Copper John's crotch.Neither the prison's superintendent nor the state Department of Correctional Services would discuss the reason for the order. Department spokeswoman Linda Foglia confirmed the alteration took place.Some correction officers aren't pleased with the reduction, and are donning shirts in protest. Ok, why was the pit bulls owner naked in the park? And how DID the pit bull get to his most private areas? And as far as the renovation of the statue in the park? I think they could have used the pitbull's help.
