What was the citation for?
You need to call the animal control officer or the sheriff's department, not the constable.

It was a written warning about keeping dogs leashed. Local LEO for this neighborhood defer to constables for less than 'large' crimes. I had called the animal control number as I recall. It was 2 years ago. Don't pedal over that way anymore. Bike now has fast draw spray and I usually carry .38 w/ CCI shotshells cycling.
edit... I jumped off and slammed on the dogs with my bike after one bit my leg. They were very surprised. Have seen two other dog attacks locally, when a dog being leash walked was attacked by dogs also running out from a garage into the street. No other people though. Just territorial dogs.

Everyone should read up on the "Breed Specific Legislation".
en.wikipedia.org
Reads alot like much of the anti-gun legislation trying to be enacted.
To the point of outright banning of certain breeds, based upon a presumption, that certain breeds might be more prone to being vicious.

If the dog actually bit you, You then had grounds to file a criminal report and sue the homeowner for damages. And the constable was neglecting his duties by not doing so. File a criminal complaint with the justice of the peace in your district.

Neither of the dogs attacking me were pitts. more like shepard and rottie mix. So I couldn't claim killer dog breed. Just fyi... Still only take my bike to a 'trail' to ride now and less frequently. Disturbed now just thinking back because I'm still 'PTSD' about it and not bike shopping anymore even with the gas prices. Feel like I "should have known better"... Ben two years so let it go.

Hey... benefit of the doubt
I have been bitten by:
2 German Shepards (appeared to be just for the hell of it)
1 Lab that was hurt and I picked it up to get it out of the road
1 Lab because I was messing with it's Jack Russel buddy
1 Pittie (for who knows, but seemed to be territorial)
1 Shitteroo (cuz it's a spoiled lil phucker that doesn't like to be picked up unless it's HIS idea. This one doesn't break skin tho. Wish his momma would get out of ALZ lockup!)

There are very good reasons that dogs bite, or attack. There are also some very bad reasons that dogs bite or attack.
Females if they have a litter will bite, or attack, when they perceive a threat to their litter.
If a dog is in pain or injured, they can bite.
A dog is territorial and is protecting his territory, which can include any place their owner happens to be.
They perceive a threat to their owner.
The are startled, or feel threatened.
Dogs running feral and in a pack. Pack mentality.
Owning a dog comes with responsibility. A dog owner has a responsibility to make reasonable attempts to ensure that their dog does not bite anyone. This may include keeping it indoors, penned, or on a leash. If you or a family member have been bitten by a dog, you may be able to hold the owner liable and obtain compensation for the cost of your injury, including medical expenses and lost wages. Your decision to hold a dog owner accountable for their dog’s biting may prevent another person from suffering similar injuries.
