Bruce said the first thing he does upon picking up a stray is check for tags. “I have a record with the owner’s name for every (county dog) tag that’s been sold. If 1 find a tag on the dog, it takes me just a few minutes to find out who it belongs to,” he said.

Bruce added that out of 19 dogs picked up so far in January, only one wore a tag. He emphasized that it’s as much against the law to buy a tag and let the dog run without wearing it as it is to never buy the tag in the first place.
