PACIFICA, Calif. (KGO) -- A Pacifica pit bull is free after spending the canine equivalent of 14 years on death row.

Woody and his owner were reunited Friday at the Peninsula Humane Society. The 11-year-old pit bull was impounded two years ago after an incident with a jogger.

Owner Charlie Hilder says he has paid the Humane Society $6,000 in room and board to keep Woody alive and thousands more in legal fees to free him.
