The seven-day window of opportunity has expired for a pit bull to be seized after it attacked and severely injured a 64-year-old man two weeks ago. Rutland Town Police Chief John Sly said the town had seven days to act. Curtis Stewart was knocked to the ground by the pit bull and was bitten in four places. He was taken to the hospital where he received 13 stitches. The pit bull and his owner were allowed to leave the scene by Deputy David Fox of the Rutland County Sheriff's Department. But Sheriff Stephen Benard said Richard Holman and his pit bull, Bugsy, were free to go because the dog had an up-to-date rabies vaccination.
Just to be safe, Stewart has undergone 10 rabies shots and has two more left..
