Logan - Here's a description on the proposed Chicago ordinance regarding dangerous dogs...if an animal is allowed to run wild - fine of $300 and $10,000 with the possiblity of jail time if it attacks someone. Owners of a dog involded in an assault would also be required to buy $100,000 in liability insurance, have the dog neutered, and have an identifying microchip implanted.

Originally, city council had considered regulating specfic breeds but this new proposal is believed to put the onus not on the dog - type of dog but rather the owner.
