The Delaware Dog Control Panel: Delaware's Dangerous and Potentially Dangerous Dog Law, Delaware Code Title 9, Chapter 9, Subchapter 2, Subsection 925(a), states, "A dog who has inflicted physical injury upon a human or domestic animal, killed a human or domestic animal, pursued a person in an apparent attitude of attack, and/or was used to facilitate animal cruelty or animal fighting, is in violation of this law and must be seized and impounded by Delaware Animal Care and Control until the determination as to whether the dog's actions were Wer WILCOX & FETZER LTD Resistered Professional Reporters (302) 655-0477 via lft com10 a 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 dangerous or potentially dangerous. The owner of an impounded dog may abide by the findings and conclusion of Animal Care and Control or, if the omer disagrees with the conclusion, he or she may request a hearing before the Dog Control Panel to present evidence as to why the actions of the dog for which it was seized should not be considered dangerous or potentially dangerous as defined by this code." All hearings shall be informal, open to the public, and need not conform to standard rules of evidence. Hearsay evidence shall be allowed but not may not be relied upon as the sole evidence in the panel's determination. This hearing is not a community meeting. The hearing will open with instructions and brief statements from each party noting what they intend to establish. For example, is the dog dangerous, potentially dangerous, or not dangerous, the number of witnesses they will present, and the amount of time they expect to need for their presentation. The members of Delaware's Dog Control Panel will hear evidence and testimony concerning the incident that caused the dog to be seized in We WILCOX 8, FETZER LTD Professional Reporters (G02) 655.0477 ‘nv itecom10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 accordance with Delaware law. The panel may exclude any evidence which is plainly irrelevant, immaterial, cumulative, or unduly repetitive. Each witness will clearly state and spell, if requested, their full name for the record and be sworn in prior to testimony. Following opening statements, each party shall produce witnesses and evidence on their own behalf and have the opportunity to cross examine witnesses. The panel may examine the witness after testimony, cross examination, and also reserves the xight to recall a witness to answer additional questions or clarify testimony. After brief closing statements from both parties, deliberations of the panel will be conducted in executive session. At that time the panel will determine, based upon the preponderance of evidence and testimony provided during the hearing, whether the dog's actions for which it was impounded meets the level of public hazard as defined by Delaware law. After returning from deliberations, the panel shall announce its conclusion by reading the decision letter into the record. After reading, the We WILCOX 8 FETZER LTD Profesional Reportere (302) 655-0477 oa valfet.com10 a 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 owner shall then be provided with a copy of the written notice. The decision of the panel is final. We are hoping to get all the evidence presented and the witnesses questioned in about an hour. And both sides have an opportunity to tell their side of the story And so the first thing that is going to happen is Animal Control is going to make an opening statement. OFFICER WARBURTON: Good evening, panel membexs, Mr. Johnston, ladies and gentlemen. When Delaware Animal Care and Control suspects a dog is dangerous or potentially dangerous, there are elements that must be met. For example, did the dog cause serious physical injury or physical injury to a human being. There are other factors that we look at, as well. One of the major factors that carry a lot of weight is the furiosity of the attack. Tonight you will hear about furiosity, how this dog lunged and attacked Mr. Johnston four times, only stopping when Mr. Johnston grabbed a rock striking the dog in the head. Another factor that we look at is public safety. The Pereiras, at the time of the incident, we WILCOX & FETZER LTD Ragistarad Professional Reporters (G08) 635-0477 ‘worn ifel.com10 abe 12 13 14 1s 16 a7 18 19 20 22 22 23 24} reported that they only had this dog, Jackie, an adult female Rottweiler, for a few weeks. They had this dog at their business where an employee had tied it out and it had gotten lose from its tether and, unprovoked, attacked Mr. Johnston, who.was working on his own property next door. The safety of the community is always a factor when suspecting a dog is dangerous. And it's a valid concern. DF is charged with looking at the macro picture of the incident and considering if there were children or others that would be exposed to this dog. You will hear tonight testimony describing the attack that occurred on 7/11/2014 by Jackie, an adult female Rottweiler, black and white, owned by Walter Pereira. My name is Captain Sherry Warburton. And tonight with my counsel, Sergeant Kim Snares, we will be representing Delaware Animal Care and Control and Mr. Johnston in front of the panel. We have four witnesses, lasting approximately 30 minutes. The testimony you will hear tonight will prove that Jackie, a black and tan adult WILCOX & FETZER LTD Registere Professional Reporters (202) 655-0477 ‘wir. wifet.com10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 female Rottweiler, is a dangerous animal and should be deemed dangerous in accordance with Delaware Code, Title 9, Chapter 9, Subsection 95. Thank you. MS. CAVANAUGH: Are you the dog's owner, Mr. Pereira? MR. PEREIRA: Yes, ma'am. I would like to say good evening, members of the panel, and thank you for assembling tonight. I would like to say that tonight you will hear my side of the story, the side of Jackie, because I am representing her. I have eyewitnesses in this room right now. I also have some affidavits of friends of mine that have interacted with Jackie. I do not believe Jackie should be deemed dangerous. I just hope you guys will see all the evidence I brought with me tonight and will hear my story and, based on that, decide. Thank you. : MS. CAVANAUGH: Thank you. MR. PEREIRA (FATHER MS. CAVANAUGH: Good afternoon. MR. PEREIRA (FATHER): I'm Walter's father. In this case, first of all, I will say good evening to all of you.

I spoke with him Monday, and he knows how much and how badly I feel about this. I know that words don't necessarily resolve anything. But, even so, he knows that my son is the owner of the dog for approximately one month or a month and maybe a week or a couple of weeks. So again, once again, I'm sorry. The situation we are here to see if he is dangerous or not, I ask the officer -- (The reporter asks the interpreter to speak louder.) MS. CAVANAUGH: This is also just an opening statement. You don't need to get into a lot of information. Thank you. MR. PEREIRA (FATHER): You are welcome. MS. CAVANAUGH: Please proceed. OFFICER WARBURTON: This is the witness chair. Would the panel prefer more space over there? MS. CAVANAUGH: Yeah, I think it would be better right here, as long as you can hear it. OFFICER WARBURTON: Delaware Animal Care and Control would like to call James Johnston to the chair.

A Good evening. Q Do you recognize this dog? (Holding up photograph) A Yeah. I have never been that close to the dog other than this incident. One time when they first got the dog, he had it on a lead, and he was walking over towards me. I was talking with Junior, Walter Junior. And, other than that, the dog has been tied. It's always been a distance. Q But is this it? A I would say that's the dog. OFFICER WARBURTON: Delaware Animal Care and Control would like to introduce evidence number one. I will set it there. BY OFFICER WARBURTON: Q And where do you live, sir? A 1226 South DuPont Boulevard in Smyrna. Q This is Delaware Animal Care and Control evidence number two. Is this your residence?

And is this the property line between your residence and the business? A Yes. Where the vehicles are parked on the left, that's about the property line, yes. OFFICER WARBURTON: Okay. Thank you. MS. CAVANAUGH: Can you show me the property line? OFFICER WARBURTON: Where the vehicles are parked. MS. CAVANAUGH: This is his house? OFFICER WARBURTON: Yes. | DR. JONES: That's the driveway. BY OFFICER WARBURTON: Q Can you describe the area around your home? Is it mostly rural or fields or -- A It's very rural. I mean, there is Walter's business to the left of me; Charlie Woodley, who was supposed to have been here tonight, he is to the right of me. And there is two other houses to the right of him, okay, north of him. And then the back of us is a good-sized field owned by Harrison Manufacturing -- Harris Manufacturing. And behind that, I believe, is a Wr WILCOX & FETZER LTD Registered Professional Reporters (G02) 655-0477 wovwietcom,10 ce 12 13 14 1s 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 aL development, a housing development, but there is a wood line, so you can't see the housing development. So you call it maybe sparsely populated? Yeah. Okay. > Oo PO Now, to the left of Walter is Hardee's fast food restaurant . Q So there is other businesses? A Oh, yeah. That's where -- Simon's Corner, Simon's something. There is a plaza, and there is a Wawa, and a bank. Q Okay. A. and a few other things. Q Okay. So on July 11, 2014 around 11:30 p.m., can you explain what you were doing? A Well, my neighbor, Charlie, to the north of me, we always get the newspaper. He would come over, get the newspaper from us when we were done reading it. And he was asking me what I was doing on the south side of my house, the driveway side. And what I was doing is I bought the house in November, so I'm new -- I'm a new owner to the house. And some of the things the previous owner did, I didn't particularly like. We WILCOX & FETZER LTD Reglstored Professional Reporters (G02) 655-0477 ver vlfet-com10 1 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 12 So one thing is they had a hill going up to the side door, and they had it covered with blacktop rather than making a retaining wall and some type of steps or whatnot. So I took the blacktop out. And there was a retaining wall that they had like a flower bed in. They had built a retaining wall with a cinderblock, and it was deteriorating and falling down. So I had a fellow come in a couple days earlier. He had a little machine, broke the wall down for me, cleaned all that mess out. So I just had a little dirt there. Anyway, Charlie, my neighbor, came over and asked me what I was doing. So I took him around to that side to show him. And, you know, he had the back to Walter's house, and I was kind of talking to him about what was going on. And the next thing I knew, there was like one bark. And when I turned, the dog was basically on me. I had enough time to put my arm up, and he bit me in the arm. But he didn't only bite. I mean, he ripped. And I was hitting him with my left hand, but I don't have the strength. And the dog released me, stepped back, and hit me again. And by now he has got WILCOX & FETZER LTD Registered Professional Reporters "(202) 655.0477 wortnifetcom,10 a 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 13 he did that four times. By now, he has got me up close to the house, which was a good thing because, where we took the retaining wall down, there was a couple of rocks. And I couldn't get the dog off just hitting it and yelling at it and everything else. So I reached down and picked up a stone, not a big one, but one that I could handle, and I hit the dog -- don't ask me how many times -- but a number of times, and it finally released. And now it finally backed away. The funny thing about it is I'm hollering to my neighbor Charlie to help me. And I don't know if he panicked or what, but the dog turned and walked with him when he was walking over to Walter's house. Never attacked him, never showed any signs of aggression to him. And they went to get the young lady, I believe. By now, I had gone to the back of my house, and I'm yelling to my friend Bee to get me a tourniquet or something. I thought I was bleeding to death. I mean, I was tore open pretty good, and quite a bit of blood was coming out. And I didn't know -- you know, I'm not a paramedic. I don't know what to do. But the blood was We WILCOX & FETZER LTD.

Anyway, we tied it off a little bit, wrapped it up, called the paramedics. And after that, I don't know what took place. They took me to Bayhealth. Q Mr. Johnston, when you said that the dog had bitten you for the fourth time and pushed you against the house -- A Yeah. Q -- is that the house you are speaking of? A Yes. This picture is taken after we have done more work. There was a retaining wall that came out from the side of that house here up the driveway. And I'm sure -- anyway, we took the block out, and there was just a mound of dirt. Okay? And in that dirt was the rock. So I was actually up against here, and -- well, you can see the blood spatters on the house too, so ... Q Okay. And this is the area that you grabbed the large rock? A Yes. Q And this is Delaware Animal Care and Control evidence number three. And then, when you said after Jackie had WE WILCOX & FETZER LTD Registered Professional Reporters (302) 685-0477 wince com10 i 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 stopped biting you for the fourth time -- this is Delaware Animal Care and Control evidence number four -- you had walked to your back doorway? A Right. Q And is that the blood trail that you left from your arm? A Yes. Uh-huh. Q And you did state that you thought you were bleeding to death? A Yes. Because I mean, it was running out. I found out after the fact that if you severed an artery, it would have been squirting. But it was running out a pretty steady stream, which had me pretty alarmed, you know, and I thought I was bleeding to death, so... Q And then you went immediately to the hospital after the ambulance arrived? A Yeah, the care center, the care center of Bayhealth. Q ‘his is Delaware Animal Care and Control evidence number five. Is this your arm? A Yes. Q And can you tell me what they did to you at the hospital? A Well, I guess -- again, I don't know biology 15 We WILCOX & FETZER LTD Registered Professional Reportare (202) 655-0677 ‘nt tifetcom10 a. 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 16 or whatnot -- but they can't seal a dog gash or sever completely. So they can only put four stitches into the gash that I had here. But I believe they counted nine puncture wounds on the arm, top and bottom, and two on the hand, a total of 11 puncture wounds and a couple other little tears. But they stitched me up and, you know, washed it very well, and then stitched me up and sent me on my way - Q And when Officer Hoyle arrived to take pictures, she wasn't going to have you unwrap the gauze A Right, right. Q -- so this is the first picture that we have of the wounds. This is Delaware Animal Care and Control again evidence number five. And then a couple days when your dressings were changed, can you identify this picture? A Yeah. That was probably -- if it wasn't the following day, it was two days later. Again, because they couldn't stitch it completely, it oozed quite a bit, and so the dressing had to be changed a couple different times each day. Q And this is Delaware Animal Care and Control We WILCOX & FETZER LTD Registeres Professional Reporters (302) 685-0477 ‘rove wlife.com10 com 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 17 evidence number six. Was it painful? A Yeah. (Laughing) Q How has this attack affected you? A Well, let's -- I like dogs. Do I put dogs on the same level as human beings like a lot of people do? No. That dog, I was actually -- I'm going to defend them a little bit. I was glad that dog was in the neighborhood when they got it. Because earlier, I'm going to say around April time frame, I was burglarized. My shed was burglarized, and about $8,000 worth of tool and equipment were stolen. So when they got the dog, I was like, "Oh, boy, that's good we got a dog in the neighborhood." The problem is, I don't know if I can trust the dog. I would be afraid. Hazel and Bee both live with me, and Bee used to raise dogs and show dogs, and she knows quite a bit about dogs. Hazel is -- she likes animals, but not an animal lover. I would be afraid at this point what might have happened if it was them. I also have grandchildren. I know the dog hit me hard. And what kept me on my feet, I will never We WILCOX & FETZER LTD Registered Professional Reportar (202) 655-047710 ee 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 know. But I think, if I went down, we might -- I don't know if we would be even talking about this right now. I don't know. Because the way the dog attacked me, I just -- I don't know what would have happened if I went down or if it had been somebody else like them or my grandkids. Um, I have mixed feelings. I mean, I have seen them with the dog. The dog has been fine. I have seen Junior walk the dog down into that like Wawa, and it's been around people with no issues. Q But you just don't feel comfortable? A I don't feel comfortable now. Q Can you identify this statement written by you? A I don't have my glasses. I apologize. Q Do you remember writing a statement? A Yes. Q Okay. And does that look like your signature at the bottom? A Yes, it is. OFFICER WARBURTON: Okay. No further questions. Thank you. MS.

And the paramedics came -- and thank God we live right around the corner from them -- and took care of his arm. Q When the Animal Control officer arrived after Mr. Johnston had left to the ER, she was loading the dog onto the truck? A Yes. Q Did you notice anything unusual about that?

So he said he was on the road at the time and that he was not sure if the dog had current rabies, because he had just got the dog a couple weeks ago from another person. So I asked him who he got the dog from, and he gave me his name. I asked if he had his phone number so I could call that owner to find out, because I really needed to know if the dog had current rabies. and he gave me his name. It was Marvin Parker, I believe it was. Yes, Marvin Parker. So I told him I was going to call him and try to find out, and then I would call Mr. Pereira right back. And he was like okay.

And since Mr. Pereira was on the phone, I asked her if she would sign the paperwork as the caretaker of the dog at the time. She was like yes. And then I asked her if she could call Mr. Pereira back, because I needed to explain to him too. Even though he was on the road, I needed to explain to him, as owner, what was going to happen. And that, because she was there, Ms. Mariano was there, that was who was going to have to sign the paperwork, because she was taking care of the dog at the time. Q Did they also have a current Kent County dog license for the dog? A No, ma'am. Q Okay. Was Ms. Mariano very cooperative or uncooperative at this time? A She was very cooperative. Q Okay.

Q Okay. All right. When Ms. Mariano brought the dog to the vehicle, what was the dog's demeanor or what did she have? A I mean, the dog wasn't aggressive. It was kind of like a little nervous like it didn't know what was going on at the time. So I would say nervous. Q Did you, yourself, feel threatened in any way by the dog's behavior? A ‘I definitely stayed away, because, since she was the owner/caretaker at the time, I asked her to load the dog. Because when I even -- when I told her that I needed to take a picture of the dog and we opened the door, I mean, the dog, you know, was barking and just was not nice,..So I had her load the dog, and I stayed in the truck., Q Okay.

MR, PEREIRA: I just wanted to show the panel and everybody those pictures, because when the witnesses were -- some of them did mention that Alexandria did have difficulty with her, and I believe she did because of the size. And it was the first time I left her taking care of the dog. Further, I want to mention Marvin Parker, which is -- this is the original -- this is the paperwork he gave me, which says that Jackie is actually appropriate Rottweiler. I believed, as a first-time dog owner, that this was the licensing. when Mr. Parker actually sold me the dog, he told me he sold it to me because she was not as aggressive. She wasn't aggressive at all. His other dogs were aggressive. When I got her, she was living in a kennel outside behind his house. He told me he didn't really socialize with her. So, when I got her, I wanted a better wer WILCOX & FETZER LTD Reglstered Professional Reporters (G02) 655-0477 wor wifeticom10 121 12 13 14 15 16 a 18 19 20 39 life for her.

I believed him because, as a two-year-old dog, I thought she had the second rabies shot which was good for three years. That's what I believed. That's why I was waiting for the vaccine. MR. PEREIRA (FATHER): We were waiting for the vaccine report. MR. PEREIRA: I also have affidavits of friends of mine. I actually have three of them, who they also -- they are friends, but they also have taken care of Jackie. There is also copies in you guys! folders.

Jackie is actually -- this is from different people. Jackie has actually stayed in their houses overnight or sometimes over a weekend. And both houses, there are children present, and Jackie has been around children under the age of 18. And I am also wondering why Sergeant Hulse is not here today, because I did mention him in the letter. MR. PEREIRA (FATHER): Show it to them. MR. PEREIRA: The letter I gave to Animal Control. I did mention his name, because he was the one who wants to label my dog dangerous. OFFICER WARBURTON: Objection. He just delivered the paperwork. MS. CAVANAUGH: I understand. So do you understand that? It's the agency that is bringing this charge; it's not one particular officer. MR. PEREIRA: Right. I say this because, when I was talking to Officer stratton, I believe, when I bumped into her, actually, and we was talking about the dog and the incident, Sergeant Hulse stopped and started talking to me about the 21-day that I had to pay $25 a day, that my dog would be We WILCOX & FETZER LTD Registerac Professional Reportar (02) 655-0477 vw vlfet.com10) a 12 13 14} 15 16 a7 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 41 deemed dangerous, and he also said it will be easier for me to redeem my dog, to surrender my dog, and he would drop they gave me three charges, and he will drop two of the charges. I only have to pay -- he would drop the failure to license dog and he would drop the failure to inoculate, and I would only have to pay the dog at large biting person. That's what he stated to me.

I took the dogs out of the garage, which is where I kept them overnight . And I cleaned Jackie, I cleaned where she was at. I gave her food and everything like that. And T tied her up to a truck. Now, I triple knotted the leash. That way, she couldn't get free or anything like that. um, I went inside because I had customers come on the property, and they were interested in purchasing some vehicles. So I had to call him to get the prices, since I didn't really know anything. I was just watching the property while they were away. Next thing I know, I'm discussing prices with a customer, and the neighbor comes in shouting, "The dog has to be contained. She almost bit somebody." And that was when the dog actually followed the neighbor into the shop and was wagging its tail and just sat there on the floor. So I grabbed the dog, I put her in the room 42 Wwe WILCOX & FETZER LTD Regtered Profesional Reporters (202) 655-0477 ‘wef. com43 10 nu 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 where she was at.

So when you -- you didn't have any visual of the dog when you were conducting the business that -- A I checked on her every so often to make sure, because I did have another dog there. And whenever I would check, she was sitting in front of the truck just sitting with the other dog eating her food. Q Okay. But at the time that this incident occurred, you said you were conducting business with somebody else? A Yes.

Q Im the office. Okay. Okay. Like is there anything aside from the leash and the harness that would contain the dog, any other physical barriers? A I mean, there were cars scattered throughout to kind of barricade where she was at from where the victim's property was. So there were barricades. Q And, to the best of your knowledge -- or let me ask you this: Do you know how long it had been since you last saw Jackie tethered to the truck from when the neighbor came walking onto your property with Jackie after the incident? A Between one and two minutes. It was not very long. BY MR. PEREIRA (FATHER): (Using interpreter) Q Okay. How did you grab the collar of the dog? A Um, well, there is a little black clip that you stick together, and there is two rings. And I connected them by the clip, by the two rings. Q The first ring, or the second rings? A ‘The first ring.

It says that the dog will not be determined dangerous or potentially dangerous except by the Dog Control Panel. Is this true? MS. CAVANAUGH: Well, we have the final say. This is why we are having this hearing. Animal Control says the dog is dangerous. You say the dog is not dangerous. We are going to decide. MR. PEREIRA: Okay. If so, why did the KC-SPCA paperwork that they gave me says that they determine that my dog is dangerous? MS. CAVANAUGH: Well, they can say that in their determination the dog is dangerous. MR.

The last time I came to see her was Thursday, and she had like a slip on her kennel of some - I believe she is taking two different kinds of medicine because of kennel cough. And in that note, I came back the next following day, Friday. And when I came back, I actually -- they actually denied me permission to go visit my dog. I just wanted to know if this was because of the dog panel hearing. OFFICER WARBURTON: Objection. We are here to talk about the incident. MS. CAVANAUGH: I don't know these answers. And, really, Captain Warburton is right that we are here to talk about what happened on the day with Mr. Johnston and not a lot of other events. MR. PEREIRA: Okay. MS.

It's really not relevant to what happened to Mr. Johnston. We are here to talk about the incident with Mr. Johnston. MR. PEREIRA (FATHER): (using interpreter) Again, I'm never going to be tired of saying that I'm sorry. But I'm trying -- it has really been like driving me, in my mind, nuts to try to understand why that action by my son's dog. Yeah, that's leading me to try to seek for some outside motivations. So, for example, um, if you take a look at the proof, E2, I assume that there is -- I assume that there is a lot of noise, and maybe that was part of what maybe triggered or motivated the dog to do what she did. O£ course, I'm not, in any moment, I'm not justifying what happened. I just want to clarify or make clear the dog is -- and Mr. Johnston even testified that there has never been an incident. she is not mean in any way.

I just want to let you know that my son, it's his first dog, and he has been, you know, caring for her and with classes. The vaccines and immunizations hadn't been done, because the person that sold it to us said that he had the proof of the immunizations, and we were just waiting for them to take her to the classes. So, because for her to be able to go to the classes, they require immunizations. Again, it's B7. That's the storage area for the dealer. She put the dogs there after the incident. The dogs live with them. They bring the dogs to the dealer, the majority of times that they come to the dealer. MR. PEREIRA: The reason I bring my dog when I go over to my dad's to the dealership is because where we live, 9 Greenway Square, is an apartment complex, and they do not accept dogs there, that type of dog.

That's why I have -- I have gone beyond myself to actually find a place where they do allow that type of dog, so where I could keep her during the day while I have to go to my daily activities. So the dogs wouldn't have -- so the dog is not going to be at my dad's shop, so Mr. Johnston won't have to worry about the dog anymore. MR. PEREIRA (FATHER): I'm so sorry, Mr. Johnston. No more. MS.

Your dog, Jackie, described as a black and tan Rottweiler, was seized and impounded on July 11, 2014 due to an incident which took place on July 11, 2014 at 1226 South DuPont Boulevard in Smyrna, Delaware. Jackie, as described above, was impounded in apparent violation of this code for the following alleged actions: Jackie, while running at large, inflicted serious physical injury upon a human being. You disagreed with Delaware Animal Care and Control's decision regarding the described incident and requested a hearing. The Delaware Dog Control Panel met tonight, August 5, 2014, to hear your dispute of the charges brought against your dog Jackie. At the time of impoundment, your dog's rabies vaccination status was not up to date and your Wwe WILCOX & FETZER LTD Registered Professional Reporters (202) 655-0477 ‘worn. wilfet.com65 10 ree 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23) 24 dog did not have a dog license. Delaware Animal Care and Control presented evidence discovered during their inquiry, Case Number 147909, which caused them to find the actions of your dog, Jackie, to be in violation of this code. Delaware Animal Care and Control concluded that public behavior and/or individual actions or a combination of both were in violation of Subsection 926(a), dangerous and/or potentially dangerous dog. You requested the panel so you could present evidence to not declare the dog to be a dangerous dog. Evidence presented to the panel included a variety of fact-finding documents such as, but not limited to, investigative reports, sworn statements from victims, owners, witnesses, friends, neighbors, or other people, testimony and photographs by both Animal Care and Control and the owner of the seized dog. The panel found, based on the evidence presented, that on July 11, 2014, Jackie did attack and inflict serious physical injury upon a human Ver WILCOX & FETZER LTD Agere Profesional Reporters (G02) 635-0477 ‘wri itetcomn10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 66 being. The dog was at large and attacked and bit a neighbor mitiple times. This was an unprovoked attack, and the victim was on his own property. The dog lunged at the victim and bit his arm, then released the victim's arm four times and attacked again. The victim had to strike the dog with his fist and then with a rock numerous times to get the dog to release his arm. The victim sustained multiple puncture wounds in addition to a 14.5-centimeter laceration to his arm and hand. The findings of the Dog Control Panel hearing: Based upon the evidence and testimony provided to this panel during the hearing held this day, under Delaware Code Title 9, Chapter 9, Subchapter 2, Subsection 922 through 928, the Delaware Dog Control Panel finds Jackie, owned by Walter Pereira, to be in violation of Section 925 or 926 and has been found dangerous. The final order of the Dog Control Panel: The dog is declared dangerous, and the owner shall comply with the requirements set forth in 9 Delaware Code, Section 925(b) and (c) for keeping and We WILCOX & FETZER LTD Registered Professional Reporters (202) 655-0077 wove. corn10 1 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 67 maintaining such a dog.

OFFICER AGUILAR: No. DR. JONES: No, ma'am. MS. CAVANAUGH: You are excused. Thank you. MR. PEREIRA (FATHER): We think we okay with that. MR. PEREIRA: I just have one more question for the panel. If I do get my dog back, I already have a vet set up for her to do the spaying. But I don't know. They tell me they do spaying here, and it states right here that Jackie, that the spaying will be done prior to release from SPCA, and you, as the owner, are responsible for the cost. I'm just wondering, because of everything that happened and because they denied my visitation to my dog, and because she is sick and she lost a lot of weight, I do not feel comfortable to spay my doing with the AC-SPCA. Can I spay her with my own veterinarian? MS. CAVANAUGH: Usually, when people get their dogs back after a panel hearing, and if we order that the dog be spayed, then the dog has to be spayed before it goes back to you.

MR. PEREIRA (FATHER): All right. Thank you. MS. CAVANAUGH: You're welcome. MR. PEREIRA (FATHER): We appreciate it. MR. PEREIRA: Thank you. That's it. MS. CAVANAUGH: So now we are going to have a closing statement by Animal Control, and then you can give a closing statement, as well. OFFICER WARBURTON: Panel members, Mr. Johnston, ladies and gentlemen, we believe we have proven to the panel through witness testimony and reports and statements that the dog, Jackie, owned by Walter Pereira did, in fact, on July 11, while at large, in an unprovoked manner, viciously attack Mr. Johnston. We request that the panel find Jackie as dangerous in accordance with Delaware Code Title 9, Subchapter 2, Subsection 925. Thank you. MS. CAVANAUGH: You can make a closing statement. MR.

I would like to say that hopefully my evidence, the testimonies I have provided, and the witnesses, you could deem my dog not dangerous and deem that the incident -- I won't deny it did happen, but it happened because of something, something -- what's the words -- something triggered it, something triggered it for the incident to occur. I would just like to say that to the panel. Thank you. MS. CAVANAUGH: Thank you. MR. PEREIRA (FATHER): (Using interpreter) I also want to thank you. At the same time, I want you to really consider that the manner in which she was -- Jackie was restricted, that was a mistake. It wasn't an aggressive thing that she like burst out of the restraint. And the external conditions as far as the proof, that evidence E2, the noise or something. I think that the noise factor attracted her. Maybe that was -- had some impact on that for her. Thank you.

Dear Walter Pereira: As noted in our opening statement, the Delaware Code, Title 9, Chapter 9, Subchapter 2, Subsection 925(a) states that a dog who has inflicted physical injury upon a human or domestic animal, killed a human or domestic animal, pursued a person in an apparent attitude of attack, and/or was used to facilitate animal cruelty or animal fighting is in violation of the code and is a potentially dangerous or dangerous dog. According to code, such a dog must be seized by Animal Care and Control and impounded until a final decision is determined. The owner of the seized dog may abide by the findings and conclusions of Animal Control as per Subsection 925(c) of the code.
