Its license lists the breed as “mix-mixed” [?]. The next space on the license form asks whether the dog is a mixed breed. The ‘no’ box is checked. The dog may very well be a pit-bull under Ohio law. That’s not the point now. Mr. Kumpf says ‘to be considered vicious, a dog must be part of the pit bull breed or have a history.’ As of now, the dog still has no history. If the dog warden would do his job and declare the dog vicious, Mr. Pelsor would be cited for “vicious dog running at large” next time it gets loose. If it gets loose now, it would still be “dog running at large.” As for a civil hearing, we might be able to recover $175, the cost of our dog. Mr. Kumpf is being disingenuous. It is up to Mr. Kumpf to apply the vicious dog laws, not me.
