Summary
An off-leash pit bull attacked a leashed golden retriever and its owner at North 16th and Reed on May 23, seriously injuring both. The committee upheld the police chief's order that the dog leave city limits; a second incident would mean euthanasia. Neighbors say the block no longer feels safe.
