you don't hear about golden retrievers being able labeled as inherently dangerous. >> it's unfortunate and true. when you say the two words, pit bull, whether it's good or bad, people come in droves to hear what you're saying and that is exciting right now. >> and the law addressed in annapolis is to shift the responsibility right now from the law to landlords and the tenants to pit bulls and to the owners of the pit bulls. is it not fair to move a law so that people whoen a dog and have a -- who own a dog and have a dog who misbehaves are responsible for that dog? >> a dog owner should be responsible for the dog, regardless of what kind of dog it is. the legislation that passed through the committee is one that will take the burden of liability off of the landlords and make all responsibility for the actions of the choice of getting a dog. >> you support the law? >> absolutely. i believe fully every dog owner should be fully and utterly responsible for their dog. >> stacy colman, the executive director of animal farm association. police are stout touting the success of targeting the county's communities with the highest number of deadly crashes. under the initiative, officers spent 30 minutes of each shift doing traffic duty. the police say there were fewer fatalities in the high-wreck areas since the program began. maryland joined a nationwide towards zero death campaign. redskins fans are patiently waiting for rg3s debut and lindsay's live in buffalo ahead of the big game. lindsay. >> hello from buffalo. some guys trying to shake the rust off and some others trying to make the team. robert griffin 3 as he makes the highly anticipated debut. the game is coming up in sports. >> and thank you, leslie and that must be hot. they have the fan misters and everything. we have a couple of flash flood warnings and we'll tell but that and some more thunderstorms are on the way. complete forecast is coming up. stay with us, brian's back with more news and the forecast when the edge continues.  . there is no evidence of widespread cheating on standardized tests at d.c. public schools. that is the finding of a 17 month-long investigation. a long awaited report from city investigators found no other schools were involved in any scandals. the probe started with the noise education campus in northwest. reported at least one teacher there. the coach, students stored correct answers on standardized tests in 2010. a consumer alert for frequent air travelers. good news. the next will likely be ontime. the department of transportation reports nearly 84% of domestic flights arrived within 15 minutes, the best performance since 1988. the improvement, due to good weather, fewer planes in sky and weak demand. when flights are on time, the bags follow. fewer suitcases reported loss, damaged or delayed. most americans feel safe flying. 54% believe the transportation security administration is doing an excellent or good job. thirty% say hair job. 12% a poor job. when it comes to terrorism, a little less than half surveyed said the tsa is extremely effective of preventing attacks. from the farm fields to the grocery stores. how the drought is having a major impact across the country and the world. we have seen a dog chasing a cat, but dog chasing cat, the cat escapes on the surf board. that is a new one and found a way to ditch the dog by gliding to the other end of the pool. the confused dog turned around and took off. d took off.
