However, he goes on the street to the neighbor's house, and he bark at the neighbors, and they're scared of him.

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.

So maybe Animal Control could go out, an investigator or something, talk to the owners and issue some tickets.

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.

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.

They were asking for animal control.

The dog is back on this property at this time, they say that's a continuous repetitive thing.
