Justice Suter stated they did go out and observe, and determined
the animals were all right, in fact in such good shape, if they
were to be picked up,- they would have. to use a ,tranqualizer gun
to get near the dogs. If a complaint for a dangerous dog is filed,
a hearing will be held, and a determaination can be made. --- Mrs.
Csajko stated Mrs. Tejo has a list of people in the neighborhood
