[quote]The township said the appeals process could take several months, during which if the two dogs were ever outside, they would have to be on a leash and muzzled. If the appeal fails, the dogs will be put to sleep, by order of the court.

As a Pit Bull owner I feel that all breeds should have to be held to the same standard as mine. I don't think that little dogs should get a free pass, sorry.
I share a house with my sister, who owns a Bichon and I have a Pit Bull.
My dog is always leashed and has never shown any aggression toward a person or an animal. Her Bichon bites people and we have had many disagreements about him being loose in the front yard.
Although I prefer larger dogs I've owned small ones too and would never let them run loose.
I just find that some small dog owners think that they have little people in fur coats. :roll:
