Dangerous dog declaration appeal

Kurowski spoke to the council before it denied his appeal of a dangerous dog declaration.

Said he never received police reports despite requesting them in writing, built up his fence and padlocked gates, and argued Daisy only reacts when provoked.

Said she has been caring for Daisy and found her gentle and well-behaved, including around her own three labs and visitors, with no aggression shown.

The dog's owner disputed the characterization of both incidents, blamed a stolen gas can for leaving his gate open in the first case, and said the second victim wielded a knife and threatened his son; he argued he had received no evidence and asked what his responsibility actually was.

The owner's neighbor said he has hosted Daisy at his fenced yard many times, she plays well with his Jack Russell terrier, and he has never seen any aggression.

The owner's mother said she is 'grandma to the dog' and has never seen Daisy aggressive, noting the dog is gentle with her great-grandchildren ages two to thirteen.
