Within hours, three separate people claiming to be the owner have called dog control.
“The dog is now in foster care and all the people calling in saying they are the owners will have to show evidence that it is their dog prior to being released,” dog control said.
While this has made their job harder, dog control said it will never release an animal without proof of ownership.
