Chief Administrative Officer PLB*hk CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON 40 TEMPERANCE STREET, BOW MANVILLE, ONTARIO L 1C 3A6 T(905)623-3379 F (905)623-6506 " REPORT NO.: CLD-019-01 PAGE 2 BACKGROUND AND COMMENT: On Saturday, October 6, 2001, Jenny Loughran and her friend were walking Jenny's dog (a Chihuahua named Madelyn) on Elgin Street. When they were in front of 127 Elgin Street, a large dog ran from 131 Elgin Street and went after the small dog. When Jenny attempted to get between the two dogs, the large dog lunged at her, then grabbed the small dog, shaking it violently. The large dog's owner was outside, speaking on a cordless phone. She approached the girls, pulled her dog off the Chihuahua and asked if the small dog was bleeding. The girls replied that no, the dog wasn't bleeding, and continued home. The Durham Regional Police were called following the attack, and the Loughran's were advised to call the Animal Shelter when they reopened on Tuesday. On October 9, 2001, the Loughran's took their dog to the Bowmanville Veterinary Clinic. The vet explained that the wound to the dog was internal and therefore wasn't visible immediately. The dog has a lot of skin which holds the fluids but, over time, the puncture wounds begin to seep. The dog underwent surgery and a drain was inserted. A copy of the veterinarian's bill, which amounted to $382.25, is attached along with pictures of the dog taken on October 11, 2001. In accordance with By-law 99-90, as amended, a Dog Attack/Bite Report and Witness Statements were completed and are attached for information. Despite numerous attempts by staff to obtain it, the Dog Attack/Bite Report - Dog Owner (which is to be completed by the attacking dog's owner) has not yet been filed. Following the investigation into this matter, the Animal Services Officers issued an Order to Restrain to Brenda Watson, 131 Elgin Street, Bowmanville. Ms. Watson was also charged with failing to obtain a license. The dog is a four year old, female Staffordshire Terrier named Dallas. The Order to Restrain requires: 1. licencing and registering the dog with the Clarington Animal Shelter and having the dog permanently identified by mircochip implantation, at the owner's expense, within 21 days of receipt of the Order; 2. notifying Clarington Animal Shelter Staff immediately upon relocation of the dog or upon transferring ownership of the dog; 3. restraining the dog at all times, while the dog is on its own property, by keeping it enclosed in a pen or other enclosure in such a manner as to prevent the dog from leaving the property and to prevent contact with people and other animals; 4. restraining the dog at all times, while the dog is off its own property, with the use of a muzzle and a leash no longer than 6 feet and under the care and control of a person who is 16 years of age or older. '-- REPORT NO.: CLO-o19-01 PAGE 3 Ms. Watson has indicated that she will be addressing Council on November 12, 2001 to appeal the Order to Restrain. Jenny Loughran's mother Jeanette will also be addressing Council. It is staffs recommendation that the Order to Restrain be upheld.
