Question:  Why won't the City of Houston Police enforce the "dog leash ordinance?"

HPD Police officer responded to a call of a loose pit bull dog. Witnessed the dog unleashed and unsupervised.  Located the owner of the dog and simply asked them to put the dog up.  What??????  What happened to enforcing the law?

When the officer was asked why he didn't enforce the law, he responded, "that's not my job, the animal control dept. handles that."

If the officer responds to the call, he/she should enforce the law.

Did this occur in Memorial Falls? A neighbor in a cul-de-sac has a pit-bull that from time to time runs around loose. He attacked my dog's friend the other day and she was terrified. It would be something worth bringing up to the subdivision?
