There has been an unexpected resolution regarding the incident on W. Shore Rd. when one of our summer residents was bitten by a dog.  This morning we learned the dog has been put down.  He was only 7 years old, and a beloved family pet, but after this happened, his owners decided it was best not to chance anything happening again.  The collar that should have kept him within certain boundaries on their property failed.  It was unfortunate, and we are sad that they felt they had to take such drastic measures, but understand their concerns, both for the safety of their neighbors as well as for their family.  Walkers and cyclists are assured safe passage along West Shore Road.
