Update Fri, Feb 7, 11.44am: Officials confirm that as of 11am this morning, the dogs have not been located.
I am with the owner of one of the dogs mauled
The dogs hv not been found as stated and the warden believes the dogs are being hiden
THere needs to be a list of irresponsible pet owners and animal abusers. Nobody on that list should be able own a pet or be resposnible for anyone else’s pets. I have said this before, the dog license should be a TEST on the OWNER to pass 100% of questions.
Hmmmm…… lots of sightings and attacks yesterday and now they’ve disappeared without a trace.
It would appear that these dogs are being hidden. Wonder when they will escape to carry on their rampage.
