10. There is another option you are not considering.

There are some people who are very adverse to having any dog in the neighborhood that looks pitty. In the same neighborhood where people freak out whenever they see a dark skinned neighbor walking along the sideyard of their own property, you'll find people who will assume the worst of a dog with pitbullish looks. Add to that concern that real estate people around here are very presumptuous about what brings property values down and it did occur to me that someone might want to reduce the number of pitbulls in the area by one.

Oh, did I forget to mention it was a pitbull? A very, old pitbull that deserves to spend its remaining days with its human family.

And, all I needed was to zoom in, removing the extraneous material to focus on the movement of the person. I was able to accomplish that using a video editor. Took some perseverance to work the program, but now I have what I need for the next time. And trust me, in this neighborhood there will be a next time.
