Major has now spent more than 560 days alone in a kennel at Austin's animal shelter.
On Sept 29 a federal judge said he'd rule within 10 days on whether an outside expert can evaluate him. That was almost three weeks ago. The public court record still shows no ruling. Both sides agreed on Oct 7 to extend the order that stops the city from putting him down, so he's alive. And he's still sitting there with no human touch, waiting.
If you missed it, a driver hit Major on a walk in March 2025. Hurt and scared, he bit a woman who was trying to lift him into a car. His owner says Major helps him with a brain injury and seizures. Austin wants him put down. All his owner is asking for is an independent evaluation first.
More than 54,000 people have signed the petition to free him.
Call Mayor Kirk Watson's office at 512-978-2100 and ask the city to allow an independent evaluation of Major before anyone makes this permanent.
Should a hurt, terrified dog die for what he did in the worst moment of his life?
