One Bryan resident files 13 complaints alleging the abuse of the same dog. That’s followed by international criticism directed at the city of Bryan.
The city of Bryan issued a response on its social media and website on Wednesday (January 22).
The city’s animal services supervisor Ashley Bishop says the owners of the 75 pound dog named “Blue” have done everything required by state and local law.
Bishop also says the owners have done everything city officials have asked.
The city response also addressed what was described as “misinformation”. Bishop says claims that Blue was being choked by a seat belt are not true. Animal control assisted the dog’s owners to untangle Blue’s collar from the dog’s tether.
Bishop says the Bryan animal center has fielded calls from around the state, around the country, and from Canada about Blue.
