AUGUSTA — A husky that had received a pardon from Gov. Paul LePage after being ordered put down for killing another dog in Waterville won an official reprieve from the euthanasia order in a deal brokered by nine lawyers Monday. Dakota, the 4-year-old husky whose court-ordered death sentence had been in legal limbo, will live, at least initially, at a veterinary hospital in Maine with a boarding kennel and be trained by a canine behavior expert, following the settlement approved by Judge Valerie Stanfill in Augusta District Court. It’s not clear whether LePage’s pardon order had any bearing on the settlement. The location of the facility and identity of the trainer were kept secret by Kennebec County District Attorney Maeghan Maloney and defense attorney Darrick Banda, both of whom said the hospital and trainer asked for anonymity.
