            <p class="p0">
               The board of county commissioners responsible for animal control shall designate the
               health director to be responsible for determining when a dog is a "potentially dangerous
               dog" and shall designate the animal control board to hear any appeal. The person making
               the determination that a dog is a "potentially dangerous dog" must notify the owner
               in writing, giving the reasons for the determination, before the dog may be considered
               potentially dangerous under this article. The owner may appeal the determination by
               filing written objections with the appellate board within three days. The appellate
               board shall schedule a hearing within ten days of the filing of the objections. Any
               appeal from the final decision of such appellate board shall be taken to the superior
               court by filing notice of appeal and a petition for review within ten days of the
               final decision of the appellate board. Appeals from rulings of the appellate board
               shall be heard in the superior court division. The appeal shall be heard de novo before
               a superior court judge sitting in the county in which the appellate board whose ruling
               is being appealed is located.
