Topic: Duke Perrigoffe Merren

Dog owner Duke Perrigoffe Merren is getting his dogs back from the Agriculture Department pound after Justice Stephen Hellman set aside an order for the animals’ destruction, which was made after two neighbors were bitten by one of Mr. Merren’s dogs.

Magistrate Philippa McFarlane sentenced a man Wednesday who had been found guilty of two charges of suffering a ferocious dog to be at large, as well as criminal trespass and damage to property.
