To close out the year, at our last meeting the Keene City Council voted to pass "Suzette's Ordinance," which has been a long time coming. This ordinance will make it so that dogs that attack and injure other dogs or people can be required to wear a muzzle when out in public for two years after the attack.
This has been about two years in the making. We worked with State Rep. to change the law at the state level so it could enable New Hampshire municipalities to pass a local ordinance like this.
I was excited that Keene would be the first in the state to pass a muzzling ordinance to protect the public from vicious dogs, but it turn's out that Dover got ahead of us, and passed its version of the ordinance back in November. I expect other municipalities will follow.
