#1 - It's not like their dog is a freak of nature, looking at the mix of breeds of that dog, it is pretty damn clear that the dog is not going to be a small dog.

Boston Terrier, beagle, and most varieties of bulldogs are all short dogs, any of which on their own would have come in well under the 14" limit. The boxer component is the only one that accounts for the height... and anyone who knows anything about mixed-breed dogs knows you can't tell in advance which traits will assert themselves where - case in point are my two Pom/Yorkie crosses, both from the same litter, one of which has a Yorkie's body and face with the Pom fluff, the other with the Pom body and face and long straight Yorkie hair.

#3 - It's not like the rule is unclear or new. It was there when they moved in. It was there when they got the dog. THEY chose to ignore it, and they are paying the consequences.

Umm... they already lived there when they got the dog from a rescue. As a pup, he was WELL under the limit. The rescue vet told them (and provided a letter stating) that he didn't expect the dog to grow over that height. That he grew over the limit could not have been foreseen, especially when three of the four breeds he's a mix of are shorter-statured breeds.

This is literally as retarded as getting a ticket for doing 150 in a 100 zone (1.5 times the limit) RIGHT after passing a giant 8' bolded bright yellow sign clearly stating that the speed limit is 100 and anybody going higher than that will be fined.

You want to consider the rest of the facts before making that analogy?
