Devils Lake ban on 2 dog breeds might become history

DEVILS LAKE, N.D. (AP) - The Devils Lake City Commission is moving toward repealing a city ban on two dog breeds.

The ban on owning pit bulls, Staffordshire terriers and mixes of the two breeds has been in place since 1987. KZZY radio reports that the commission on Monday directed the city attorney to draft an ordinance that would end the ban.

The move came at the request of resident Amanda McDonough. She says the two breeds should be treated like any other, and that people should be given the opportunity to be responsible dog owners.

The public will be able to weigh in before the commission takes final action late next month.
