After pit bulls were banned from the state of Michigan, he had to fight to keep his dog.

Dan Tillery, an American living in Michigan, had an unpleasant surprise after posting a picture of himself and his dog on social networks.

An anonymous person gave him up

While the young man simply wanted to show his love for his travelling companion named Diggy, he was anonymously denounced by an internet user, following the photos he posted.

The authorities separated him from his dog

He owns a pit bull, which he adopted from a shelter, which is strictly forbidden in the state of Michigan because dogs of this breed are considered dangerous. So the police took his dog away from him, but Dan didn't leave it there...

He succeeded in getting his little fur ball back by proving to the authorities that his dog is not, in fact, a pit bull... and that he does have the right to own the animal!

A happy ending

See in the video above how the young musician managed to get his pet back: all's well that ends well!
