              SWANZEY, N.H. (AP) A pit-bull terrier may have sealed his
              fate by biting a worker at the Humane Society. 

              The dog was being held at the Monadnock Humane Society
              while its owner appealed a court order that it be put to death
              for escaping from its home in Keene twice and attacking other
              dogs. 

              But Thursday, owner Matthew Bemis said if the dog bit the
              humane society worker, he should be put down. 

              The society director said the dog bit worker Jamie Eastman
              seven or eight times on the leg, shoulder, arms and side.
