The two dogs responsible for attacking and killing a two-year-old boy in High Springs on the morning of March 8 are set to be euthanized at Alachua County Animal Services after a 10-day waiting period ended Monday.

The boy was left alone in a yard with the dogs when his grandmother stepped inside the house. In total, the family had six dogs on the property, four of which have been reclaimed.

The dogs have been at Alachua County Animal Services since the incident. They are classified as "aggressive" under an Alachua County ordinance, and as "dangerous" under a state ordinance.

State law says a dog is "dangerous" if it attacks someone or attacks another animal twice. Meanwhile, Alachua County classifies a dog as "aggressive" if it gets off property and harms or kills another pet.

"It kind of depends on whether damage was done or not," said Alachua County Animal Services Director Ed Williams. "It could be confiscated and an investigation done to see if it qualifies for one of those classifications, or if it's just a dog running at large and isn't harming anybody."

Williams said that just because a dog may growl or be loose, that doesn't mean it is aggressive and it doesn't mean animal services can take it in.

While different people have different opinions on what deems an animal as "aggressive," Williams said animal services will respond and assess any situation where an animal may be threatening people or pets.

"If we respond and it's an ongoing issue, if it's not an immediate danger to the public, those then become follow-up investigations for animal services professionals," said Alachua County Sheriff's Spokesperson Lieutenant Brett Rhodenizer.

An ASO investigation into the attacks is ongoing. As of now, no charges have been filed.

Williams emphasized that it is important to never leave small children alone with any kind of animal.
