For the record, I totally agree with Councilwoman Angela Hunt, who sent this missive just before I went night-night:
Caught Dreher’s post as well as yours about vicious dogs. Today coming back from dinner, we drove past a guy with two pit bulls off-leash. So whom do I call to report this? 911? Nope; no one was being mauled (yet). 311? So someone from animal services can come out two days later when the guy’s long gone? I ended up pulling up to the guy and (nicely) explaining the leash law. He complied (while we were watching), but [expletive deleted]: Do these people think their dogs are somehow exempt from the leash law? That their dogs are special and non-dog-like? And won’t chase and maul a small child that darts around like a squirrel?
I’m going to talk with Mary Suhm about this tomorrow. I mean, seriously, whom do you call at the city? It’s like someone waving around a loaded gun.
