tonight that dog named baby is alive and well here at the spca after her new owner wanted to use her life for death. baby is about a year and half old and is a pitbull mix. she's full of life and is playful. "she's got a good disposition, she's sweet, you know nice. she's still a puppy" but this man, jason dotson tried to own dog--a dog order to be put down. "he brought the dog in on the 9th to have it put down and it was actually not the dog that was supposed to be euthanize but in fact the dog that was adopted on the seventh from this facility." the puppy, baby was being used as a decoy, to prevent dotson's own dog--a dog who according to police vicously attacked a service dog--from being destroyed. "you just think how cruel it is. why would you that to an innocent healthy dog" but the spca detected the decoy dog, by a chip that was implanted in the back of the

example of how it's done. nats this reader detects the chip that's a little bigger than a grain of rice, an identification number appears, which can be used to identify the animal. the spca chips all of their dogs. "it's very important. if a collar comes off or something like that. the chip is never going to come out. it even sometime in dog theft. you can prove that that's your dog." but in this case a near death, a man looking to pull a fast one on the spca and the court. baby is enjoying her treats, and the hope is now, that this time she'll be adopted for life..and not for death. were told by the spca that baby will be up for adoption tomorrow at noon. live in colerain frankie jupiter fox19 now. thanks frankie.. we've got a link to that adoption website... right now on fox19 now dot com. breaking right now in sharonville.. police are shutting down reed hartman highway at the
