I received four emails and two phone call about my story today. The lady on the phone wanted me to come out and write a story about the dogs terrorizing her local park. The other lady wanted to know how to solve her own dog problem and about dog bite laws. Of the four emails, one was another story idea, one wanted to know how to solve his dog problem, one wanted more information, and the other was a correction. But I’ll take what I can get.
Where was this guy when so many of us were fighting to get tighter dangerous dog ordinances passed just weeks ago and went into effect 7/1? No one at the post office was there to help, but they are quick to say nothing ever happens. You need to get the other side of the story and find out why the postal service wasn’t behind that legislation! They threw their carriers under the bus on that one!

Since you wrote the article in today’s paper about dog attacks do you know who to contact in Dallas about a neighbor who allows their dog to roam the neighborhood without a leash?

That was a good article about dog attacks in Dallas, and especially in our neighborhood. By the way, Millerdale Lane is in Urbandale, not Pleasant Grove. There is enough bad news in Pleasant Grove without their getting the rap for ours.

Hi Christina,
Thank you for writing the article on dog attacks in Dallas. It enrages me to think that we, as a civilized society, continue to allow innocent people to suffer from vicious dog attacks. As your article pointed out, the victims are often children and elderly people. Most of the more serious attacks come from pit bulls. Do you have any statistics on the number of people who have been killed or seriously injured over the past 10 or so years due to dog attacks, and how many of those were pit bulls. I plan to write an editorial on this, but thought you might be able to help with some statistics.
Regards,
Dennis H.
