Additionally, he has the highest licensing rate in the state of Ohio, so dog owners shoulder more of the A/C infrastructure costs instead of relying soley on the taxpayer.

The Nutters hate him, so he must be doing something right!

A well deserved award! Skeldon does a tremendous job for Lucas County.

It's difficult to immediately appreciate the hazards of a public position when the goal is simply to act with integrity in the interest of people and pets. Tom Skeldon has done this despite the distractions and antagonism of selfish special interests.

"It's a tough job but somebody's got to do it." And some people do it with exceptional skill and class.

Congrats to Tom Skeldon!

Tom Skeldon should be CLONED!
I would love to have him relocate and enforce animal controls in my city or county.

Tom Skeldon is responsible for SAVING THE LIVES AND LIMBS of countless citizens in his community

And he has had to take a tremendous amount of abuse and threats from DOG FIGHTERS and the DOG FIGHTER BREEDER LOBBY just because he had the courage to stand up for the rights of citizens and their pets against the few thugs that insist that they have the right to own aggressive dogs that hurt and kill people.

Tom Skeldon is a TRUE animal lover...someone who wants to protect the ANIMAL victims of pit bulls, as well as humans!

Tom Skeldon executes his job duties that few in the field are willing or able to do. I can't think of a person better suited to stand up to dog fighters and pit nutters.
Please come to my city and show my ACOs how the job is supposed to be done!

Ditto! i too have lame ass animal control officers. His dedication to his job would be much appreciated.

I'm beginning to believe that owning a pit bull is the sign of the beast.

Cudos to anyone that will stand up to them.

The Nutters are outraged! How dare he enforce the and not pretend that Pit Bull are legally declared vicious dogs in Ohio!

His time would be better spent concentrating on Level 1 fear bites from Cocker Spaniels and Poms! There are so many overbred pit bulls needing homes! How dare he!

I can't wait to see the response from the "Worst A/C Department of the Year"!

Tom Skeldon is a hero for standing up to the pit nutters.

Tom Skeldon should be appointed the STATE Dog Warden. Just take a look at this mess in Franklin County Ohio. it sounds like Nathan Winograd and Jere Alexander have taken over the joint.
