PDF: Amending City Code Chapter 7
About two months ago, Mr. Bing, a Chihuahua mix, was attacked outside his home in Red Bank by a dog that got through an electric fence.
Mr. Bing managed to get away, but still required $700 in medical treatment.
“Our first concern was the pet, so we took Mr. Bing to the vet,” said Darin Wright, owner of the 15-year-old dog. “Then I started thinking about the fact there are many loose dogs running around and, as a resident, I don’t have any recourse.”
The attack on Mr. Bing and other residents’ concerns prompted Wright to propose an ordinance to address the issue of loose dogs.
