Bakersfield Dogs on the Loose | Bakersfield News

Bakersfield PD and animal control are on high alert after aggressive dogs terrorized cyclists on the Kern River bike path, biting at least three people since July 4th. With rough terrain complicating the chase, they’ve captured eight dogs but believe four more are still loose — including the pack that chased and bit a cyclist on August 5th. Nearby encampment residents, like Jackie Donahue who lost her beloved husky Bear, are also sounding the alarm. A key twist? Local laws about spaying/neutering and impoundment may come into play if owners are linked to encampments. For now, authorities urge everyone to avoid the area — safety first while the hunt continues. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
