Connecticut: Rottweiler Stella seized and held by AC at an undisclosed location .

Please note:  The Rottweilers owner received a verbal warning from one of the police officers involved in the case. This officer told her not to go public with the case, as it would not be in her best interest.

In December, 2011, police raided a house looking to arrest a Colchester, Connecticut woman for breach of peace. The police burst through her front door. The woman's two Rottweilers, Stella and Tazzy, did what any dog would do in this situation: they barked and carried on at these unknown “intruders” and tried to protect their owner.

When an officer became physical with the owner and pinned her to the ground, one of the dogs, Stella, nipped the cop’s behind. No skin was broken. However, both dogs were seized by Colchester Animal Control.

And now Stella, a beloved pet, is still locked up with an uncertain future because of it.

One of the dogs, Tazzy, has since been released, after living in miserable conditions at the shelter. He was said to be in poor condition after the months he spent there. Ten months later, Stella is still being held in her caged prison at an undisclosed location. No one knows how Stella is, since her owner is not allowed to visit her.
