Royal Oak is being ruff-ruff on owners who have menacing dogs.
WWJ reportes that the city has a new ordinance that would require owners of “dangerous dogs” to carry $1 million in liability insurance, post signs, complete an obedience class with the dog, and keep the dog in a locked, fenced-in area. The ordinance takes effect on Thursday.
"Owners must also comply with seven pages worth of other requirements to keep their pets in the city," WWJ reports.
What constitutes a dangerous dog?
The city says if the dogs bites or attacks a person, or causes serious injury to another domestic animal.
The city reported 32 dog bites and attack in 2012 in Royal Oak.
