     347.56 Destruction of dog in certain circumstances. 

    Notwithstanding sections 347.51 to 347.55, a dog that 
 inflicted substantial or great bodily harm on a human being on 
 public or private property without provocation may be destroyed 
 in a proper and humane manner by the animal control authority.  
 The animal control authority may not destroy the dog until the 
 dog owner has had the opportunity for a hearing before an 
 impartial decision maker. 

    The definitions in section 347.50 and the exemptions under 
 section 347.51, subdivision 5, apply to this section.
