Presumably then this is Portland OR, and not ME

Unfortunate. Until owners are put down along with their
vicious dogs, the problem will continue.
Point well made. People are responsible for their pets' actions. Certainly if owners incurred severe penalties (starting with a decade in jail and a $100,000 fine to be garnished from their wages for the rest of their lives until it's paid), they'd be a lot more inclined to take their responsibilities seriously. As it is, they get away with a comparative wrist-slap.
