| Wednesday, 22 May 2013 13:38 | Small dog dies in School Avenue attack by Ben Boehl
The recent debate over the safety of the pit bull breed continued, as School Avenue resident Brian Manning called The Dundalk Eagle last week to report that his small dog was attacked and killed by three pit bulls.
Manning said he was walking with his two dogs near Bayard and School avenues when three pit bulls got out of their yard and ran downhill toward his dogs.
Manning explained that his 15-year-old dog was able to get away, but the 10-year-old poodle-bichon frise mix was not as fortunate.
“It was something out of National Geographic,” Manning said. “My dog didn’t stand a chance.”
Manning stated the owner of the pit bulls was very remorseful and that he and the pit bull owner had a good relationship before the event.
Manning is upset about how fast the dogs got out of the yard and that the owner had no control.
“She thought they were secure, but all three got out and killed my dog,” Manning noted.
“The scary thing is no one knows how they got out and the dogs are right by the Dundalk High School field. The [area] is busy with high schoolers walking by it.”

Ground has been broken on the new senior complex coming to the southern end of the Logan Village Shopping Center.
The project was officially kicked off at a groundbreaking ceremony held at the Dundalk Avenue site last Tuesday.
Called The Greens at Logan Field, the four-story, $15.2 million senior apartment complex will feature 102 apartments for residents of low and moderate income age 62 and older.
The 97,000 square foot complex will contain 84 one-bedroom and 18 two-bedroom units, as well as amenities such as a fitness room, library, activity/computer room, sun room, craft room, tv lounge, community room, hospitality suite and laundry facilties.
The project is being developed by Enterprise Homes, Inc. Enterprise also developed the Cove Point senior apartment complex on Peninsula Highway.
In a press release, Enterprise said the building will “complement the Tudor-style architecture of the existing neighborhood, drawing on local buildings such as Saint George’s and Saint Matthew’s Episcopal Church as well as the Dundalk Historic District for inspiration.”
The release also touted the project’s environmentally-friendly construction. The complex will feature energy-efficient windows, water-conserving plumbing and high-efficiency heating and air conditioning.
