By ranking dogs within four categories – dangerous, vicious, large and aggressive – law enforcement agents can better deal with victims who receive dog bites. When a dog bite occurs, law enforcement must quarantine the animal and then decide whether to euthanize it. The ordinance also reviewed what is considered to be a dog bite versus nipping. It was decided several years ago that a bite happens when teeth break through the skin. If this occurs, the owner could face serious fines and other criminal punishments.
