CARY – The village’s Police Committee on Tuesday reviewed proposed changes to its animal control ordinance in the hope of promoting more responsible pet ownership.

The Village Board could vote on the ordinance next week after it is reviewed by residents who asked for changes in the wake of complaints about dog bites.

Peter Spizzirri, 57, was one of the residents to push for tools to help residents when they are victims of dog attacks. He said he likes the changes that are proposed and the work done by the village staff and police department.
