Girard faces dog issue in court

GIRARD — City officials are set to defend the city’s ban on pit bull terrier dogs in court, shortly after two children were bitten by one alleged pit bull and a city employee was chased by another.

According to police reports, a 7-year-old girl from Verona Street and an 8-year-old girl from South Davis Street were walking in the 200 block of South Davis on Monday when the dog charged the girls. The dog was chained, but that was not enough to keep it away from the girls.
