LANCASTER, N.Y. — All month long, we've been following a legal battle involving a service dog in the Town of Lancaster.
Last week, a judge ruled that Bandit was dangerous. On Thursday he was sentenced to spend the rest of his life at an animal sanctuary.
We spoke to the attorney representing Bandit's owner Joshua Gilley about what comes next.
"There are arrangements we are making; we are going to get him into our trainers so that he could decompress. The one silver lining of this judge's decision is that we do expect that things will start getting better for Bandit very quickly," attorney Matt Albert said.
Bandit will eventually be moved to the "Against All Oddz" animal rescue service. Albert and Gilley are also starting the process to appeal the judge's decision.
