Suburban shelter dog Rennie hopes for a second chance

A year and a half ago, Rennie arrived at the West Suburban Humane Society and even as a long-time volunteer, FOX 32's Scott Schneider said he was a bit intimidated by the cropped ears and the imposing head.

Sadly, 18 months later he’s still waiting on someone to take a chance on a breed that is once again making headlines for all the wrong reasons.
