Update - July 23, 2026

Your signatures made it into print today.

ARLnow published a story on dangerous dog handling in Arlington — including our community's question: why did it take a formal complaint, 400+ signatures, and repeated follow-up for this case to receive attention after two years of documented attacks?

We're continuing to push for stronger protections and will be taking this issue to our state legislators ahead of Virginia's January 2027 session.

Bear remains in the neighborhood. We'll keep you updated.

Thank you — your support is part of why this case is being taken seriously at all.
