Dog Court: Trying to reverse the label of dangerous dogs

This dog owner and her family should consider themselves and their dogs lucky, but her neighbors should be livid that they live in such a tolerant state. In Texas, after one bite to a human or even a severe bite to another dog then your dog is labeled dangerous. The circumstances surrounding the bite do not matter unless it was an illegal intrusion into your house but not other property like your yard. I learned this when my three dogs were all labeled dangerous after I got bit while breaking up a dog fight between two of the dogs just weeks after bringing the third dog into the home. My dogs are all mixed breed rescues but none are breeds generally reported as dangerous. Also in Texas when there are multiple dogs in the household, if any of the dogs so much as growl, look intimidating, or even seem "too shy" to the animal control who comes out to evaluate the biting dog, then the animal control officer can label all of the dogs dangerous since they live in a "dangerous” pack. A dog can also be labeled dangerous even if the dog has not bitten anyone if the dog repeatedly displays aggressive behavior, such as lunging at the fence when people pass by. One can appeal the dangerous dog label, but the attorneys we contacted about our dogs said that Animal Control almost never reverses their decisions and that the courts always uphold Animal Control's decisions due to the media attention after several fatal dog bites here. In addition when you dog(s) are labeled dangerous your home owner's or renter's insurance premiums go up since the insurance companies consider it likely they may have to pay future claims. After being labeled dangerous if a dog bites a human or severely injures another dog, then dog is killed. In case my explanation was too long the summary is: In Texas two bites and the dog is dead. My personal opinion is that the Texas laws are too harsh since there is no consideration given for the circumstances surrounding the bite incidents, but the North Carolina laws may be too lenient since it seems from the story that these dogs were involved in at least 3 bite incidents and are just now being labeled as dangerous.

This man sounds crazy!!! How can 3 pint sized dogs bite and average height man on the head unless he was on the groud!!!! I mean dang are they magical jumping dogs...... this man sounds like a true trouble maker!!!!! I hope you win in this case or already have Linda because this story just does not add up and create a perfect puzzle!!! ~DONT GIVE UP LINDA KEEP PRAYING~
