Dangerous dog ordinance

A victim of an off-leash Doberman attack asked the board to add 'requires medical attention' to the potentially dangerous dog definition, noting she needed antibiotics but no stitches, and asked that a single stitch also qualify; officials said the $100 medical-cost threshold covers her concern.

Described being attacked by an off-leash Doberman three years ago and said animal control refused to classify the dog as dangerous, waiting for another attack. Asked the board to create written procedures and apply the dangerous classification on the first attack.
