[Dewey-Darrow] Dog attack: Greenleaf & Florence: Summary

[Bearhair]

Last night around midnight, a resident couple were walking their Labrador
retriever and were accosted by an aggressive dog that reportedly lives in the
1500 block of Greenleaf. Both humans and the dog were injured in the attack.

Since the Animal Warden is off on Sundays, the dog was not immediately
impounded. The couple are pursuing the issue with the police and will report
when the dog is removed from the neighborhood.

The original email is quoted below.

I wanted to change the subject to "dog attack" instead of "pit bull attack"
because I know that the correct breeding of a pit bull can result in an
appropriately tempered dog. Unfortunately, so many are not, and their owners
to do not properly control them to prevent harm to themselves and others.

"We want to let everyone know that a vicious pit bull was off leash Saturday
night around midnight and attacked our chocolate lab while we were out
walking.  We were in the 1000 block of Florence and the dog apparently lives
in the 1500 block of Greenleaf.  Delli required stitches to her face and is
spending the night at Animal 911.  I was seen at Ev Hosp Er for a leg wound.
The animal warden is off duty until Monday so this dog cannot be impounded
until then at the earliest!  This seems totally outrageous!    Watch your
kids out playing and dog owners be on the alert Sunday.  It was very scary
and I think we were actually very very lucky it wasn't worse.  It was really
awful."
