Hague Will Euthanize Dog That Bit Girl

BELLEVUE - Metropolitan King County Councilwoman Jane Hague has decided to have her unlicensed 4-year-old keeshond put to death after it bit a 14-year-old girl in front of Hague's home here Tuesday afternoon.

Hague, who represents the County Council's 11th District, acknowledged she forgot to get the license for "George" renewed after it expired at the end of last year.

Having an unlicensed dog is a misdemeanor, usually punishable by a fine.

The dog bit the girl on the leg when she and another girl were passing by. Hague conceded the attack was unprovoked and said she would have dog put to sleep after a 10-day quarantine period.
