After a tense vicious dog hearing Tuesday, the Oak Bluffs selectmen ordered the owner of an American Staffordshire terrier to keep the dog muzzled and leashed after she severely injured another dog.
During the hearing, which took more than an hour, some of the selectmen and the town animal inspector advocated for euthanizing the dog.
