Law roundup: It’s a dog-eat-dog world out there

A man out for a walk feared for his little dog's safety when a black Dobermann-type dog came charging out of a house and allegedly tried to attack them. Officers from the Kalispell Police Department met with the allegedly aggressive dog's owner, who told them the canine snuck out while he was assisting a contractor. He said his dog was interested in the smaller breed, but there was no dustup. Officers advised him of city ordinances and warned him of possible citations in the future. 

Officers spoke with another dog owner after a neighbor reported their animal for tunneling under the fence. The enclosed dog was trying to get out to "get at" the neighbor's dog, they told the authorities. The offending dog's owner agreed to fix the holes along the fence after officers explained the city ordinances and warned of potential future citations.

Authorities advised a person with a male cockapoo that they could surrender it to the county animal shelter after it allegedly nipped her 10-month-old son. She had already tried another animal shelter and it was full.
