If a hearing in accord with the provisions of this article results in the ordering of a dangerous or vicious dog to be humanely destroyed, that decision shall be final unless the dog owner applies to a court of competent jurisdiction for any remedies that may be available within ten (10) days after receiving notice of the destruction order. If an appeal is timely filed, the City Manager or the Municipal Court Judge shall suspend the destruction order pending the final determination of the court. The appeal shall be a proceeding for the purpose of affirming or reversing City Manager’s decision and/or the Municipal Judge’s destruction order.
