Right Time, Right Place | Season 1, Episode 6

The movement to change Ohio's pit bull law begins in Toledo

In this sixth episode of the inaugural season, I find myself in the right place at the right time, noticing the beginning stage of the movement to repeal pit bull laws in Ohio with the downfall of Lucas County Dog Warden Tom Skeldon, and the repeal of Toledo’s pit bull law. 

Right Time, Right Place” is those interviews I conducted in 2009 that solidified the focus of Guilty Til Proven Innocent, documenting the repeal of breed specific laws in Ohio.

One domino falls, and the future for pit bull dogs is looking brighter.
