Ind. Judge Appoints Attorney for Canine

CROWN POINT, Ind. - Plenty of lawyers have dogs — but how many dogs have lawyers?

At least one. And his name is Cabic.

Lake Circuit Judge Lorenzo Arredondo appointed an attorney Thursday to represent Cabic at a hearing to determine whether he is a wolf-dog hybrid.

For Cabic, the outcome is a matter of life and death.

Cabic bit one of his owner's Cedar Lake neighbors, Mark Schilling, in the thigh on April 18 when Schilling came to borrow a power tool. The dog's owner, Nancy Armalius, does not dispute that.
