Both the police and animal control visited us last evening, the police to
follow up after they talked to the owner, and animal control as their first
visit to the house.  The attacking dog is currently still at home in the
block, so please don't walk your dog or have young children taken down that
block.  Animal Control photographed the dog, and will request a hearing once
the police report is finalized and available.  We'll certainly follow up on
both aspects.  

 

Herschel is home as of late last night, and bandaged up quite badly.  The
vet said he is lucky to be alive, and Greg was not seriously injured
himself.  However, we will be pursuing this matter legally once all of the
paperwork is ready!

Rod:

Thank you for sharing your experience with the Chat List.  I am sorry that
you were attacked by a pit bull two months ago but I am glad to hear that
the Northern District responded timely and in a manner that resulted in a
proper resolution.

In response to your complaint about Animal Control, the CVCA Safety
Committee will take this matter under advisement, and will discuss the
scheduling of a meeting between interested residents, Animal Control,
Northern District Police, and CVCBD Safety Staff, about how dog attack
incidents are handled and whether any improvements are necessary.  We will
notify the residents when the meeting date is set.

The residents can help in this process by notifying our CVCA President,
Jennifer Erickson, at cvcapresident at yahoo.com, or me at the email address
below, if you hear of any other incidents of this type.

Thank you.

Sharon Guida, Chair, CVCA Safety Committee

My dog and I were attacked by a pit bull in the alley between Maryland Ave
and Howard St. approximately two months ago.  I had to nearly beat the life
out of the pit bull in order to get it to let go of my dog.  In the process
I seriously cut up my hands and broke my foot.  I held the pit bull by the
throat while my wife called animal control.  Animal control responded by
saying that they would dispatch an officer immediately, and we could expect
them within 72 HOURS!  Needless to say, we then called police, and they
showed up and dealt with the situation.  I provided all of my information
and obtained a police report.  I was told that animal control would contact
me within 24 hours.  I never heard from animal control, and had to verify
the rabies vaccinations of the pit bull on my own.  Luckily, the pit bull's
owner was found, and I was able to obtain the vaccination records.  My
personal experience has been that Baltimore City Animal Control is
worthless.

My happy ending is that my dog has fully recovered.
