According to records from the Summerville Police Department, a McGinnis Cir. resident recently called 9-1-1 when a neighbor’s dog had been vicious toward her young daughter.

Jennifer Browning told to a responding officer that the black dog belonged her neighbor, Casey Swann. When the officer went to the resident to speak with someone, the door was answered by Jessica Smith, who was sitting for Swann while he was at work. When the concern about the dog was explained, Smith said she would not allow the kids to let the dog out any more.

Smith was advised that she would be responsible if the dog injured Browning’s daughter while Smith was in charge of the house.

A report was filed on the incident at Browning’s request.
