Council Rules Dog Vicious

BOONE, Iowa---The Boone City Council usually doesn't have many hearings to determine the status of a dog following a dog bite, but the Council did have a case Monday.  Boone Mayor John Slight says the case began with a notification by the Emergency Room Personnel at the Boone County Hospital.  The Boone Area Humane Society serves as animal control for the city and quarantined the dog for 10 days.  It has since been released to the owner.  Because of the bite and the owners reluctance to restrict the dogs activity, the Council voted to euthanize the dog.  Slight says he feels the Council's decision is best for the safety of the public.
