BITTEN BY A DOG. THE DUTIES OF OWNERS, That people who own dangerous dogs should keep them on chains or m safe places was the opinion expressed in the Police Court yesterday by Mr. F- K Hunt, S.M., who fined Mrs. Sarah Sehofield, Devouport, £1 and costs, on a charge of owning a dog which attacked a man in the street recently. " ft is a big Airedale don;, and as I was walking along King Edward Parade it was standing on the footpath," said Robert Norton. "As I passed, it bit me on the leg." Savage dogs, said the magistrate, were dangerous and sometimes needed destroying. The public must be protected from such animals. If the dog offended again the Court'would order its destruction.
