The Law Says POLICE kGOtDEN SPtK , EMPiRf by the Brigham City Police Department (Editors note: The following installment of The Law Says was prompted by numerous citizens complaints lately of disturbances by dogs. Lt. Jay M. Herbert explains the law concerning a barking dog.) by Lt. Jay M. Herbert It shall be unlawful for any person to own, keep, or harbor within the limits of the city any dogs which by barking, howling, or yelping disturb the peace and quiet of any neighborhood or person. If you have a dog, this then, becomes your problem to see that he doesnt disturb your neighborhood. A dog barks because he is frightened; he howls because he is sick or lonely. This can be handled by taking the dog into the home where he can be with you. Know Been Left When you leave on vacation and your dog is being cared for by a friend, the dog will know he has been left alone, and if left out at night, he will bark and howl. Instruct the person to take the dog in at night. This will save many problems. When the police receive a complaint of a dog barking or howling, they go to the neighborhood, listen for the dog, then issue a summons to the owner or keeper. This violation requires such person to appear before the city judge on a misdemeanor violation. What iff you sis? Natural gas, characteristically, has no odor. Nor is it poisonous. But because it replaces the oxygen in enclosed spaces, much like water replaces air in a bottle, a great quantity of natural gas leaking into a persons home could cause suffocation.
