Forrest had never hurt anyone, never bitten anyone or attacked anyone. He was never considered vicious, even by the Director of the Denver Municipal Shelter,
Doug Kelley, who said, "he was a sweetie". We had a victory and Forrest was released , but not back to his owner,
Chris McGahey. Forrest is being released to a rescue group.
