Riley County leaders are considering imposing new, stricter rules on dangerous dogs. The Riley County Commission is considering a proposal to update the county’s long-standing dangerous dog ordinance. This comes at the a request of a group of concerned citizens. The commission is looking at changing the county’s classification of a dangerous dog. The current policy, which has been in place since 1988, considers a dog as dangerous if it attacks a human or domestic animal without provocation or is a dog kept for fighting. Riley County Deputy Counselor Craig Cox said under the new proposed policy, a dog would considered to be “dangerous” if it attacks a person or animal and they have to get stitches or has broken bones. It would be deemed “potentially dangerous” for causing lesser injuries.
