FLORIDA -- Walter Eason's neighbor has two pit bull dogs and, therefore, Eason believes he has a problem.
"I can't even let my son go in the back yard because I'm afraid he'll put his hand through the fence and then he won`t have one," Eason said.
Eason, who lives in the 6400 block of Northwest 24th Place, appeared before the City Council last week asking city officials to do something about the dogs; get rid of them if possible.
According to a city ordinance enacted three years ago, pit bull dogs in Sunrise must be registered with police and dog owners must carry $100,000 in insurance against possible attacks.
The two pit bulls that Eason complained about are kept in a home in the 2400 block of Northwest 64th Avenue. The owner of the house is listed as C. Block, according to Chief Code Enforcement Officer Mel Silverman.
