Resident asks town to respond after dog reportedly attacked two pets
Summary
A Malone resident told the board a dog roaming West Street has entered yards and attacked two other dogs; Supervisor Andrea Stewart said she would contact Dog Control Officer Penny Landry and the town would look into the complaints.
Resident Bentley McQuinn told the Town Board on June 26 that a dog roaming on West Street repeatedly enters yards and has attacked one dog on West Street and another on a neighboring street. McQuinn said he had filed complaints with the police chief and the Village of Malone and urged the town to intervene because children use a nearby park.
Supervisor Andrea Stewart said she would contact Dog Control Officer Penny Landry and that the town would look into McQuinn's concerns. The minutes do not record a formal referral, warning, or enforcement action taken at the meeting.
Why it matters: the complaint raises a public-safety concern for pet owners and families using neighborhood spaces. The minutes record the resident's report and the supervisor's stated intention to contact dog-control personnel but do not document next steps, citations, or any follow-up schedule.
