Support DeLorenzo on vicious dogs

      With disappointment, I just read " Pit-bull measure gets growls at

    hearing " ( West Bay, Feb.26 ,page C1 )

          President Joseph Delorenzo is right in wanting vicious dog owners

    to have not less than $25,000 in liability insurance. My own horrible

    experience: Before noontime on Tuesday, Jan. 29 - at or near the corner of

    Speck Ave. and Reservoir Ave. - I was surprised and terrified by a loose

    and out of control rottweiler. And chased into the middle of Reservoir Ave.

    I tripped and broke my shoulder. I was taken by Cranston Rescue to Rhode

    Island Hospital. I needed surgery.

            No apology from the dog's owner, a young woman who I am trying to

    locate. No call of inquiry. I HOPE she has liability insurance !

        If not, should I send the $18,000 medical bill to the Honorable Mayor

    of Cranston ?

               Oddly no police arrived on the scene. Too close to lunch time ?

    Can they at least track down the identity of the 911 caller ?

             Perhaps there is need of a muzzle law too. That dumb dog has

    devastated my life. It could have been ANY pedestrian in this once nice

    city !
