Pima County bureaucrats thought they could quietly kill Sergeant Snuggles after eight months locked in a cage over one startled nip on his own family's land.
They were wrong.
This young Anatolian Shepherd was guarding the acreage like his breed does. Grandma tapped him from behind. One defensive nip. She has said over and over it was her fault. She is fine. She wants him home with the kids who miss their dog every damn day. The family offered training, fencing, a behaviorist who cleared him. Courts and animal control did not care. Vicious label. Isolation. No real visits. Fees piling up while they play God.
Today at ten in the morning, families are rallying at the PACC parking lot on Broadway in Tucson. Lucy, Brendan Jones and family drove two thousand miles from Virginia to stand with them. Lucy beat her own raw deal and came home. Now they fight for Snuggles to do the same.
This is government overreach at its ugliest. Cowards hiding behind rules to break a family and crush kids hearts. One mistake on private property and they treat a loyal dog like a monster. The system stinks.
If Lucy can come home so can Snuggles. Stand up today. Bring him back where he belongs. Running free on that land instead of rotting in a cage.
Show up if you can. Bring signs. Raise your voice. Or call the officials and demand justice.

Quite the ordeal this morning on our way to #SaveSnugglesDay in Tucson, Arizona on Saturday.Quite the ordeal this morning on our way to #SaveSnugglesDay in Tucson, Arizona on Saturday.
We limped into my parents’ house in Auburn, Alabama last night with the check engine light on in our minivan. We didn’t trust it for the long stretches of desert highway ahead, so we decided to rent an SUV instead.
Fortunately, my brother-in-law (who lives in Auburn) is an absolute car maestro. Couldn’t have left it in better hands.
Then I got to Enterprise and learned that USAA had canceled my insurance. A few years ago, my daughter unbuckled her seatbelt after I pulled over for a state trooper. I had an overdue inspection sticker, and the trooper saw her unbuckled in the back and gave me a citation. It wasn’t worth taking a day off work to fight a small fine, so I paid it and moved on.
Three years later, USAA canceled my policy over it. Decades as a member, and this is how it ends. I’ll be canceling the rest of my USAA policies when I get home. They used to be a great company - I can no longer recommend them.
We went ahead and paid for Enterprise’s insurance and will sort out a new policy while we’re on the road.
Two quick questions:
- Who do you recommend for car insurance these days?
- Any good hotel recommendations near Fort Worth, Texas for tonight?
Unexpected delay and expense, but #AmericasDog is back on the move. #SaveSnuggles
#SaveSnuggles won’t happen without everyone getting involved.

Lucy and I are deploying again. One final mission for my old dog. To Arizona. We're bringing that #SaveLucy energy from the Shenandoah Valley to the desert to #SaveSnuggles.
Next Saturday will be Save Snuggles Day in Tucson. Lucy's return to the desert.
Veterans, bikers, dog lovers, anyone in the area - join us. It's going to be a positive demonstration to celebrate Lucy's release and RESPECTFULLY push officials in Pima County to let Snuggles go home.
We want this to be a celebration. We are the good guys and we will show it.
Lucy will be there, as long as my old car makes it. So should you. More details to come as we work them out.
