  • "They came out there and said, 'We think you're fighting your dogs. We're going to take your dogs because we think you're fighting them.' But they didn't charge us with it," said Tracy Woodall.

    Joe Woodall said he trains his pit bulls for competition, not fighting.

    Investigators said the investigation is still ongoing.

    Meanwhile, Joe Woodall's cousin is in jal on dogfighting charges.
