However, he goes on the street to the neighbor's house, and he bark at the neighbors, and they're scared of him.
00:04
He'd chase everyone back into their house, and then he'd go back down the street, and his owners come out and find him and chain him back up.
00:11
So maybe Animal Control could go out, an investigator or something, talk to the owners and issue some tickets.
00:18
Yeah.
00:24
I'll contact Central District standby.
00:29
Any time by?
00:37
Any time for a code.

They have a white male back there.
01:03
He looked like he's laying on a compressor back there and there the back where the boxes are kept.
01:12
I've got some updated information from the scouts that made it to the location.
01:22
Basically, the scouts are saying that the owners of the loose vicious dog are at near Holtin, H-O-U-G-H-T-O-N, they're at near Holtan.
01:38
Apparently what happens is the scouts were unable to locate the owners at that location, felt that it was unsafe.
01:49
Because the dog does, what they say, that the dog gets loose from the chain, runs down the street, and terrorizes different neighbors and so forth.
01:58
The owners come out, retrieve the dog, and then put it back on the chain, but the dog didn't get loose again.
02:04
So they didn't approach the actual location.
02:07
They were asking for animal control.
02:11
Did the dog loose at this time? We'll be back on this property.
02:15
The dog is back on this property at this time, they say that's a continuous repetitive thing.
02:21
Good copy. I will have the tenant investigator to talk with those residents right there, so the dog is back on property.
02:29
Let me see, I only have one investigator today.
02:32
I'll see if I can get her.
02:33
She does have a couple bites on her case today.
02:35
If not, I'll send an investigator out tomorrow.
