As the Northern Virginia Daily reported yesterday, Virginia's Spotsylvania County has created an online dangerous dog registry and nearby Frederick County plans a similar database soon. Spotsylvania's registry includes the name of the dog and owner, a home address and the dog's breed, color and sex.
Seminole County, Florida has taken its online registry one step further, with pictures of the dogs and their locations on a map. Brevard County, Florida has a registry too, while McHenry County, Illinois is considering one.
In Spotsylvania, dogs land on the Web site only based on an order from a judge (presumably without being convicted by a jury of their peers). Apparently, "Sugar Bear" and "Scooby" aren't as sweet as you'd think.
