A Neighborhood Warning

To the Editor:

On Wednesday, June 30, Carol Lawson’s 14-year-old female cat was attacked viciously by two dogs as she lay sleeping on her porch. She died that evening.

Officer Jerri Breyan of Canine Control tracked the dogs in the vicinity of Joan Drive, Bari Drive, Pebble Road, and Melody Lane, but was unable to catch them. She described them. One was medium/large white pit bull mix with reddish brown spots (something like a cow’s markings) that wore a brown collar. The second dog was white with black specks on back and also had collar. Possibly a pointer.

These dogs are dangerous and hopefully they can be stopped before they kill another animal. If you know anything about them please call Officer Jerri Breyan at 426-6900.
