STOUGHTON — A pair of a special breed of pit bulls in Stoughton that attacked another dog on their property so viciously in October that it had to be put down was determined not to be a danger to residents — by a unanimous decision — at a Tuesday Stoughton Select Board meeting.
However, that ruling was going to be contingent on them being housed in their kennel while on the premises. Select board member Bob O’Regan discovered that, when the structure had been built last year, the contractor never filed permits, making it illegal. This was after the determination was made that the canines would not be a threat after their owner made modifications to the fence and kennel to keep them secured within the property.
