Pet owners may face stricter rules in Gallatin
“Roland Mumford sponsored the resolution to create the vicious dog committee, on the heels of a dog attack incident in Portland involving two girls. District 8 Commissioner Roland Mumford is the chairman of the vicious dog committee. Mumford will meet with Wike and others at 3 p.m. Friday at the county administration building to discuss these ideas.
Summer Hunt, 7, was seriously injured when she was attacked by her grandmother’s pit bull in Portland on May 8.
Summer’s 15-year-old sister, Angelia, was also injured while trying to get the dog away from her sister.
Toni Hunt, the girls’ mother, said she would support any law designed to prevent others from experiencing the trauma her family has endured since her two daughters were attacked.
“There needs to be strict rules on any dog that can hurt a human or (another dog), pit bulls, rotweillers, chows, even small dogs, but especially with larger dogs because of the damage they can do,” Hunt said.
Mumford said owner responsibility would be a big focus of the committee.”
