(Richmond, IN)--The Richmond Board of Public Works revisited a vicious dog issue Thursday night.  Last October, a dog bit the dog’s owner’s mother in the face and caused extensive injury.  The Board declared the dog vicious two weeks ago, which gave it the option of requiring euthanasia.  It had laid out a series of requirements for the owner.  "He's not just a dog, he's my immediate family.  I need him," said the dog’s owner.  Thursday night, those requirements were deemed to have been fulfilled and the Board opted against euthanasia.  The owner will be monitored for continued compliance.
