Wilmington –– The Wilmington City Council is expected to move quickly to approve provisions defining and regulating dangerous dogs. An ordinance amendment was before the council Tuesday night for a first reading, and could very well be approved at the Feb. 1 council meeting.
Joey, a silky terrier adopted from a shelter by Dennis Sartore and Valerie Fox, is the victim of a bully. Joey has been attacked three times by a neighbor's roaming pit bull terrier-shepherd mix since May - the last time, in mid-December, Joey had seven gaping wounds, requiring many sutures and hundreds of dollars in veterinary care. Sartore was certain the big dog was trying to kill Joey.
