The Connecticut Post reports that Judge Richard Arnold on Tuesday accepted an agreement that will allow Richard Rosenthal, co-director of the Long Island-based Lexus Project, and animal defense group, to take the dog to Florida, where it will have to wear a muzzle while outside.
Buddy’s former owners waged a social media campaign to save the dog. A Facebook page called “Save Buddy From the Milford Dog Pound” has received the support of over 1,500 people.
