Council to fine Owners Of Lost Dogs

Herefordshire Council have decided to change their stray dog policy so as they can fine the owners.

"It is only right that responsible dog owners and non dog owners do not disproportionately fund, through their taxes, a service that has to be provided because of the actions of a minority," said a spokesperson for the Council.

The new rule is timely as a stray dog, possibly a huskie, managed to get onto the Edgar Street pitch this evening just as the game was about to start.

It is not known whether the dog paid at the gate.
