This is certainly an interesting case. Can a dog be pardoned, can a judge overturn a pardon, and what does it mean for the future of human pardons in Maine?

The ruling has been appealed the the Maine Supreme Court so the dog is safe until then, and apparently this isn't even the first time the Maine Supreme Court has heard a case regarding a dog pardon.
Just weeks after Maine Governor Paul LePage granted a full pardon to a dog, a district court has overturned the decision and ordered the Siberian husky named Dakota to be euthanized.
