Vicious and Dangerous Dogs Unleashed
San Francisco | 44m
Second installment in a series of three videos by Black Summers Productions, LLC.
This installment focuses on the failure of San Francisco Animal Care and Control to properly manage the risks posed by vicious and dangerous dogs in the city. It features parts of hearings and a presentation by John Denny, a veteran Vicious and Dangerous Dog hearing officer.
Criminal defense attorneys
When defense attorneys are involved, the tone of these administrative hearings shifts dramatically. Defense attorneys do not always help the owner of the accused dog win their case either.
