SUNDERLAND– After 3 hours of statement and consideration, the Selectboard enforced stringent procedures on a dog that assaulted a next-door neighbor, leaving deep scratches on his face and arms.

Next-door neighbors present at the hearing stated the dog has actually never ever been violent in the past, however they have actually been afraid on their own and their own family pets when Lobo broke away from his owners not long after they got him. Luo stated she has actually set up an electrical fence and Lobo has actually not broken out ever since.
