COOKEVILLE, Tenn. - A new proposed ordinance in Putnam County would shift the blame for dangerous dogs from the animal to its owner.

Laurie Green, director of the Cookeville/Putnam County Animal Shelter, said the ordinance would regulate the ownership of not only pit bulls, but any dog that might bite someone.

That seems far more reasonable than the "pit bull bans" that are all the rage lately.

I agree. We've had pits in the past - they were the best dogs I've ever owned! Loved our kids, rolled on the floor with the kids when they were infants. The kids pulled their tails and ears, sat on them, and never once did the dogs bite them. Now, our dachsunds, on the other hand, have nipped at our neighbor. They just don't like him. Because we know there is the potential there (even with the pits) we put up a fence and take great care to make sure the dogs don't get out. It's called taking RESPONSIBILITY!

Just my 2 cents.
