“We are genuine grateful for the constables and Wildlife and Fisheries that came therefore completely dispatched the animal from our house,” Jan Schultz informed KATC. “I think it’s off swimming in a bayou someplace.”
The couple said they just recently bought a pet door lock that just communicates with the dog’s collar to avoid any additional events.
“We are taking preventative measures and putting a locking dog door in now that just opens with the dog’s collars, so we will not have this surprise in the future,” Don Schultz informed KATC.
