This just in from the Northampton County Animal Control Officer (although it was a little hard to make out as he gasped for breath after climbing my-albeit-steep front steps): "Today has just been a day full of incidents...someone said it was the moon." We can only assume he was referring to the stigma surrounding pets and the three days waning moon.
The capstone to this undoubtably overworked elderly man's day was a stop at- you guessed it- my house. I'm pretty confident in saying it will be his last stop for the night and I wouldn't be suprised if the lovely female officer who escorted him onto the premises was also responsible for putting the poor old fart to bed (stat!).
The old guy's health aside, the verdict was that regardless of the absolute dishonesty of my neighbor's claim that our dog was on his property, my mom is being cited for "dog at large" and "not having a proper lisence". The man's false claim inspired him to invite himself onto my front porch to bang on my door and yell that our dog was loose in his yard and furthermore recieve a greeting from said dog (who, clearly was actually in the house) in the form of a bite. Not a surprising reaction from a dog who is the sole guardian of my house and family- unless you count my 95 pound single mom...which might be wise- and who is certainly not used to having our front door stormed by angry men in the middle of the day. Stay tuned to find out if he has to go to the doctor for his dog bitten hand and I hope you enjoyed this incredibly bias news report and analysis of Bangor's law enforcement (so much more to come on this topic).
