Selectmen voted to deem a 65-pound bulldog in Wareham a dangerous animal Tuesday evening, citing two attacks it made on other dogs in the past 18 months.

Animal Control Officer Cheyrl Gorveatt-Dill brought the hearing before Selectmen and said the dog's keeper, Marylynn Biasiucci of 4 Oakdale Heights, was uncooperative after the second attack by the dog.

"What I'm looking for is to prevent another animal or a person from getting inured or attacked by your dog," Gorveatt-Dill said. "Because you have not taken measures on your own, we have to order measures to prevent a future incident."

The conditions are as follows:

Biasiucci must keep the dog in a humane enclosure no less that 10 by 10 foot when outside.

The dog must be muzzled and on a leash no longer than four feet when taken outside the enclosure or outside the home.

The dog must be microchipped so authorities can quickly obtain its identity information if need be.

Selectmen said the muzzle and leash orders are effective immediately, but gave Biasiucci 30 days to comply with the other requirements.

This was the first instance where Selectmen heard animal disputes, as they have previously been handled by the Wareham Police Department.

Biasiucci's dog, Hazel, was alleged to have attacked a 10-pound Yorkshire Terrier owned by Barbara Gomes-Beach in 2012 and a small terrier owned by Erin Lewis last year. Both Lewis and Gomes-Beach testified at the hearing. Both of their dogs received medical attention after the altercations and Gomes-Beach said she sprained her arm trying to stop the attack on her dog.

"I believe that dog is dangerous. If it was a child [that was attacked] you wouldn't be sitting here like this," said Gomes-Beach.

Biasiucci said children in the neighborhood come to play with the dog all the time. She also said that the dog is owned by her estranged husband but lives with her and that on at least one occasion her dog was provoked into a fight with a smaller dog.

"My dog doesn't go out of the house unless it's properly secured," Biasiucci added.

In unanimously voting that the dog be deemed dangerous and conditions put in place, Selectman Patrick Tropeano said he found Biasiucci to be "cavalier" with some of her responses at the hearing.

"I'm very concerned this could result in something much more devastating to everyone at a future hearing if this should occur again," he said. "If another dog is attacked you will not like the result."
