After spending nearly $2,000 in extensive efforts to save his life, Titus died about 12 hours following the attack from a punctured lung and heart trauma, after a surgery to amputate his leg.
I've started the Titus Amendment initiative to to petition our city to enforce the ordinance more effectively, help connect concerned citizens of Cleveland, and find responsible pet owners willing to help educate fellow owners of these often misunderstood and mistreated "vicious breeds."
I'm hoping the Titus Amendment will end preventable attacks, and unnecessary euthanization of animals who are victims of their environment and owner's irresponsibility.
If you had the opportunity to meet Titus (or have ever loved a pet before), is likely you'll understand what a devastating loss this has been for our family.
I know Titus will continue to touch the lives of others through the Titus Amendment. And I thank you for your support in all ways big and small.
Sincerely,
