The Ohio Supreme
Court decision Ohio v Cowan upholds part of Judge
Gormans ruling in ACF's challenge that a hearing has to
take place to prove a dog is dangerous. If you read the
SYLLABUS OF THE COURT below it states 955:22 fails to
provide dog owners an oppurtunity to heard on whether a
dog is vicious or dangerous under 955:11 (A) (4) (a)
that is the section which defines the Pit Bull as
"vicious". Before a Pit Bull can be required to be
muzzled and insured a hearing will have to take place to
determine if its dangerous.
