Dodson said he’d taken the dead dog to the house where the dog reportedly belonged but the residents wouldn’t acknowledge ownership.
Discontinued Earlier?
When the supervisors voted last year to remove personal property taxes on livestock, they also agreed to discontinue paying livestock claims resulting from kills by stray dogs.
Since then, warden Bruce noted, he’s had no obligation to investigate suspected dog kills. He added that he’d visited the Dodson farm and checked both the dead sheep and the two dead dogs after being requested to do so by the owner of the larger dog.
The dog was both vaccinated and tagged, Bruce said, and the owner is willing to pay his part of the damages.
As for the smaller black dog, Bruce said a neighbor who doesn’t want to be involved has agreed to testify in court that the animal has been “in the area mostly around the house where Dodson went.” The warden added that the residents of that house had initially claimed the dog until they were told that it had been shot.
“There’s no question in anybody’s mind that the sheep were killed by dogs,” remarked supervisor H. B. Wood. "The question is how Mr. Dodson is going to get paid for his sheep.”
