VOTING AYE: Granger, Petryk, Puleo, Miron ABSTAINED: Haas Motion Carried APPEAL DANGEROUS DOG DESIGNATION (ISN & PAM JOHNSON) On July 15, 20023, `Buddy", a dog belonging to Kenneth and Pamela Johnson, bit a child on their property located at 15815 Finley Avenue. Marlys and her son Gordon were visiting the Johnsons, who are their in-laws. Buddy, a 6 -year old male beagle, was sitting on the dog owner's lap when it bit the child on the face. Assistant City Attorney Tim Kelley declared the dog to be dangerous under the City's ordinance. The dog's owner appealed the designation and appeared before the Council to state his case. Marlys Johnson addressed the Council providing her version of what happened that day and the nature of the injury to her son. She stated that the hospital who treated her son actually notified the WCSO of the dog bite. It was her opinion that she did not trust the animal. Washington County Deputy Amy Sprague stated that she had been notified by the hospital of the bite, and did not personally witness what happened Ken Johnson, owner of Buddy, testified that the dog has never shown any aggressive behavior and was not sure why the dog bit his nephew. He stated that he would do whatever was necessary to keep the dog, including kenneling him when company was present. Rachel, Mr. Johnson's daughter, and two neighbors, Chuck and Wyatt, also testified that Buddy has never shown signs of being an aggressive animal. Council members Petryk and Puleo questioned City ordinance that does not allow for a "second chance".
