Columbia news, views & reviews 
My dog was attacked by another dog who ran out the front door and across the street on April 30th. She was bitten twice on the neck and had to go to pets. Reported it to the police and see no citation was issued. The dog that attacked also had an expired rabies and no license. The owners should have been cited for that and running at large. Guess it was to much work for the police to cite the owners.
