Silver Grove dog case on hold

SILVER GROVE, Ky. - Mayor Neal Bedel along with Silver Grove's city council agreed to give Wanda Moran until the first of the year to get rid of four of her dogs.

Moran owns six dogs at her home which sits behind the Silver Grove Dairy Bar. Customers of the Dairy Bar complained to the owner about the barking dogs.

After the complaint the city became aware that Moran had four more dogs than is allowed by city ordinance.

At Tuesday night's council meeting Moran asked to keep her dogs, "Just let me keep my dogs. I won't get any more I promise."

Mayor Bedel suggested that allowing her to break the law would open the door to other problems.

"Say we let you guys do this and then the next thing you know we have somebody else that's breaking another ordinance. What are we supposed to do?" asked Bedel.

The mayor and council had hoped that the owner of the Dairy Bar and Moran would be able to reach some sort of conclusion together. However, Moran, in frustration, called the news media which Bedel argues essentially forces the city's hand.

"Now everybody knows about it. Which tells everybody that you can come to Silver Grove and break an ordinance because they'll ignore it," Bedel said.

Moran says she wants to move and sell her home and says she won't get rid of her dogs.

"Take me to court. Take me to court because I'm not getting rid of none of my dogs. I'm sorry," said Moran.
