Default Wandering Dog Spray Painted "Go Home"

CHUBBUCK, Idaho - Animal control officers had to decide if they were investigating vandalism or animal mistreatment after someone spray-painted a dog. A resident reported that he found the words "Go Home" spray-painted on the sides of his large white dog late last month.
The animal had been allowed to roam freely, Capt. Mike Sanders said.
"An animal like that is domestic property, so technically that's vandalism," Sanders said. "It's really not the dog's fault. He's just doing what dogs do."
It could have been worse, Sanders said. Idaho law requires an unfenced dog to be either on a leash or under supervision of its master. And landowners are allowed to shoot a trespassing dog if that dog is harassing livestock.
Sanders said detectives have not determined who spray-painted the animal. They decided to drop the case, partly because the dog's owner shouldn't have let the dog roam free.
It's both inappropriate and unusual to paint a dog, Sanders said.
"It's a little novel. It's different in the respect that it sends a message," Sanders said. "That's what always appealed to me about this work: It stays interesting."

Aggghh...I so want that shelter in place where we can drop off idiots that can be euthanized if no one claims them in three days!!!

The owner allowed his dog to roam, and then made a report when something bad happened...not that I in ANY way condone painting dogs...but if the dog got hit by a car, or got in a fight, he would probably still be throwing a fit when in the end he IS AN IRRESPONSIBLE OWNER!!

He is lucky that poor dog only got a paint message on him..it could have a much worse ending

I agree. He is lucky. There are some people that will shoot a dog that comes on their yard. He is lucky they only spray painted him (which is kinda weird though )
