Two Radnor Dog Owners Get Citations

Radnor Township has on its books codes that prohibit dogs from being unaccompanied by an owner when off of its property and from injuring people.

Two Radnor residents recently received citations for violating those codes.

A resident of North Wayne was cited after a child reported being bitten by a dog walking without a leash with its owner on May 3 near North Wayne Park. Two small superficial puncture marks were seen on the child's back. Found the following day by police, the dog's owner said he had not realized that his mixed labrador retriever had bitten the victim.

A Bryn Mawr resident was cited for leaving his dog unaccompanied and roaming free after the dog was found by another Bryn Mawr resident in his yard on May 4. The dog was taken into police custody and was staying in the kennel in the sally port at the police station after Radnor Veterinary Hospital refused to take in the dog for the night, according to police.

A phone call from someone meant to watch the dog came into police later that night and the dog was handed over to him.
