Brisbane City Council is pursuing stronger action against the owner of two pit bulls that mauled a jogger in Chermside. Real estate agent Ajay Malik, 37, was attacked in 7th Brigade Park last week and suffered serious injuries. The council withdrew an order to destroy the dogs so it could seek higher penalties. The owner, Layla Evans, faces fines of up to $120,890 or two years' imprisonment, depending on the offence. Both dogs remain held by the council, and Ms Evans has 14 days from October 21 to respond to a proposed dangerous dog declaration.
