Jimi the dog's court date postponed

 
Jimi the dog will get to have Christmas with his family. His fate will be decided in court in two months time on January 26th. Lawyer Francis Thatcher says Jimi's owners purchased him from the Thunder Bay Humane Society in 2007 and are now facing accusations that he's a pitbull. Fletcher adds the court will look into whether or not an attack took place between the two dogs and if Jimi's DNA shows he's a pitbull. Jimi supporters gathered outside the court house this morning. Lawrence Hurd says they're pleased with today's decision. Jimi's owners have been ordered to keep him muzzled.
