Is your dog a nuisance to neighbors?
Definition of nuisance is the key to new ordinance
By Thomas H. McKinney
It is often said that "dog is man's best friend," but on some occasions "dog is neighbor's worst enemy."
Hoke County recently passed a new dog ordinance and many would agree that the definition of "nuisance" is the key to its implementation and enforcement. (See insert on right.)
We will be reporting our findings during the next several weeks as we walk through some of Hoke County's neighborhoods and talk to local residents about their own dogs, their neighbors' dogs, and Hoke County's new animal control ordinance.
