Easton dog declared dangerous after attacking neighbor s Labrador
Wicked Local
EASTON – Last month, Jasper broke free of his dog walkers and attacked Ranger, a Labrador retriever, leaving a 12-inch laceration in his abdomen requiring surgery.
Last week, the Easton Select Board after a five-hour hearing and discussion, declared Jasper a “dangerous dog” requiring him to be kept in an enclosed yard, wear a muzzle and have his owners adhere to other restrictions. However the board also voted to revisit the case in six months to consider changing the designation to a “nuisance dog.”
The board was split 2-2 for some time debating Jasper’s case, ultimately voting 3-1 to declare the dog dangerous.
