(AP) — The owners of a dog held at the Beatrice Humane Society for 45 days have learned their yellow lab named Lamar will be spared and is coming home.

The dog allegedly bit a 13-year-old boy as several children were playing with him on March 29.

A court hearing on Thursday was to determine whether the dog would be euthanized or released to its owners.

A judge agreed to allow Adam Cloyd and Stephanie Carman to take the dog home after it receives a microchip. They must register him as potentially dangerous, keep him on a leash, and have a secure enclosure.

The couple’s lawyer says only children reported the alleged bite. The city’s attorney says the dog wasn’t licensed and violated the city’s dog-at-large ordinance.
