  I receive inquires regarding dogs attacking dogs such as the following, a few times a week.While walking my pregnant Yorkie on a leash, she was ripped out of my arms and brutally killed by a large, unrestrained dog.

  One would hope that with as much information as there is available regarding dog bites, we would see more caution exercised, particularly when it comes to dogs that are known to be aggressive. Yet, we hear stories such as this one that truly leaves one to wonder "where is the common sense?" Bobby Day, 41, has several pit bulls. One of which attacked a child not more than two years ago. Mr. Day...

  Tennessee's State Senator Rosalind Kurita of Clarksville is looking for accountability. And now she will introduce a bill that will provide that accountability for pet owners. The bill is known as "permissive legislation." In the event of a dog attack the case would go to General Sessions Court. Currently a dog attack case would go before a Circuit Court judge, which would assure a fine of $50...

  Dog bites are a concern in many cities. Many people feel the current laws do little to protect the public at large. Raleigh, North Carolina is no exception. Raleigh residents in particular have reason for concern, as there has been a steady increase in reported dog bites in their town. In 2007, there were 367 bites reported, which was a 56 percent increase over 2000, and the numbers are still...

Now, the City Council of Fort Worth has improved on that law and has banned chaining dogs in front and back yards, period. The cost to anyone violating this law is a $500 fine for the first offense. If that does not get the...

  One would think that it would be a pretty safe bet that a would-be attacker would shy away from attacking a dog owner when she is in the company of her pit bull. One would think. Last Thursday in Troutdale, Oregon, a man attacked a 19-year-old woman when her pit bull came to her rescue. The pit bull bit the attacker who swiftly left the scene and the woman. The man responsible for the attack is...

  The law protects dog owners' rights as much as it tries to ensure public safety. Accordingly, the county Animal Services Department will not remove your dog just because someone merely thinks the dog is vicious. Dr. Nancy Matthews, a 47-year-old Valley Center equine veterinarian, says she suffered as a result. In November 2006, Dr. Matthews was with her two sons, 8 and 11-years old when she was...
