LAKEWOOD, Wash. (AP) - The city of Lakewood is looking at tightening up its animal control laws after reviewing a recent case where two pit bulls attacked a family.
No one was injured in the attack, but family members had to get into or on a vehicle to avoid being bitten or worse. They told City Councilman Ron Cronk, who advised city officials.
Officials found that the dogs' owner once had other pit bulls that were were destroyed because they attacked some people.
City Manager Andrew Neiditz says in examining dangerous dog calls in Lakewood in the past several years, he found most involved pit bulls.
Neiditz told the City Council last night that officials will look at Auburn's ordinance, passed in 2006, which lists 12 dog breeds, as potentially dangerous and requires owners to register them with the city. The breeds include pit bulls and bull terriers.
