LAKEWOOD, Ohio -- Lakewood City Council will consider an ordinance concerning dangerous dogs at its meeting Monday evening.

City council will specifically consider prohibiting owning pit bulls or canary dogs.

Councilman Brian Powers plans to propose the amendment. Last year, residents filed 44 complaints about pit bulls.

Earlier this year, a pit bull attacked a resident.

Lakewood's mayor Edward Fitzgerald said he supports the proposed ban.

If the ordinance passes, owners will be guilty of a misdemeanor crime and could face a fine.

The meeting is set for 7:30 p.m.
