In defense of Randy DeCarlo

Last week's post on Randy DeCarlo, the Georgia rescuer of beagles and bassets who faces up to 12 years in prison if he's found guilty of violating noise ordinances, has drawn a few comments -- including two from Randy DeCarlo.

You can read them here.

DeCarlo turned down a deal for probation in exchange for relinquishing 10 of his 25 dogs, and will head to court June 12. In his comments to us, he says he plans to fight the charges and prove not just that he's innocent, but that his dogs are, too.

About Jill Rosen

Jill Rosen is a reporter at The Baltimore Sun. During her nearly 20 years in journalism, she has covered news and features — including a surprising number of stories that involved animals. There were the dog Christmas carolers in State College, Pa. There were the hounds who toured with a production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The story of a preschool teacher at Baltimore’s Father Kolbe School who had to replace her class guinea pig, who died over the winter holiday. A harrowing tale of what it was like to make homemade pet food ...

Though her clean freak of a mother refused to allow her to get a dog, she has had a number of pets through the years, including goldfish named Bob and Fingle, a betta fish named Ichabod, a wild rat terrier named Wendel, who she shared with a roommate, and, currently, sweet, sweet kitties named Leo Sesame and Milo Pumpkin and a little rescued pup named Teddy Bean. She, Leo, Pumpkin and Teddy Bean live in Baltimore.
