DOG
From page 1
said he caught Bubba
chasing the animals and
shot him to protect his
property, though Dorau
said she finds the claim
inconceivable.
"I read that in the
paper ... and I know my
dog wouldn't chase after
goats," she said. "He
would never hurt any-
thing or anyone; he was
scared of his own shad-
ow."
She explained Bubba
and another family pet, a
7-month-old German
shepherd, escaped from
the S.E. 18th Street home
early Tuesday morning.
"He had gotten is paw
in the door and gotten
out of the door," Dorau
said. "He was in the
house and he had gotten
out and of course the
German Shepherd ... fol-
lowed him."
She said the family
attempted to bring the
dogs back home but even-
tually lost sight of them.
"They went across
[U.S. Highway] 281 and
we got stuck in traffic and
couldn't find them," she
said.
A family in the 1300
block of S.W. 12th Street
found both dogs and
attempted to keep them
until their owners sur-
faced. Members of that
family said the dogs did
not have any identifying
information on them. The
animals escaped from
that residence, too, and
Bubba was ultimately
killed by a neighbor.
According to authori-
ties, the shooting took
place on county property,
meaning charges will not
be filed against him.
The issue of legality
aside, Dorau said she just
wishes the shooter had
tried a non-lethal method
of getting rid of the dog.
"I just know that you
don't have to shoot an
animal to get him away
from your animals," she
said, "especially because
my dog was well taken
REPORTING LOST
OR STRAY PETS
There are several local
resources aimed at
reuniting lost pets with
their owners.

someone who finds a lost
or stray animal, whether it
has identification, is call
the Mineral Wells Animal
Shelter at (940) 328-7752
or email animalshelter@
mineralwellstx.gov and
report it, since that is often
the first place an owner of
a lost pet is going to call.

care of so you know he
wasn't a stray."
She claimed Bubba
would not have been
aggressive towards any
livestock.
"If anything," she con-
tended, Bubba "was prob-
ably running away from
[the goats.] He didn't
have a mean bone in his
body."
Dorau said the German
shepherd was reunited
with the family
Wednesday when she
claimed the animal at the
shelter.

From page 1
said is much better than
nothing at all.
Nicklas said the PPSO
will also be reimbursed
for at least $80,000 used
on law enforcement over-
time during the nearly
month-long fire. Palo
Pinto County Sheriff Ira
Mercer told commission-
ers he would like to use
some of that for a radio
communication repeater.
He added that the
$805,375 commissioners
certified Monday does not
include grant monies for
expenses related to the 101
Ranch Fire, also in 2011,
which still has an FMAG
pending.
In other business, com-
missioners:
• Heard public com-
ments from Lone Camp
VFD Chief Charlie Sims,
who informed commis-
sioners that four of the
five Emergency Services
District board members
"went to schooling and
will be revisiting contracts
with VFDs."
Sims said the contracts
will likely include require-
ments for insurance, prop-
er driver's licensing,
namely when driving
heavy tanker trucks, and
training for structure and
wildland fires.
The early October roll-
over of a new Brazos VFD
water tanker "brought
some things to light that
need to happen and some
require training," he
added.
Sims told commissioner
there is accredited training
in place and available. He
said the board members
also discussed putting
background checks on
vehicle drivers.
• Approved monthly
reports. Treasurer Tanya
Fallin reported, as of
Monday the total of all
county funds was $8.65
million.
Mercer reported the
sheriff's department
received 58 civil papers,
wrote 42 tickets and 25
warnings, made 589 calls
for service, 82 arrests,
drove 50,923 miles and
booked 119 inmates. He
said the current jail popu-
lation is 102 inmates.
