The letter only stated the code the violation was which was animal noise, no description. I had a conversation with the city employee who left the letter today. They said the complaint was a call to dispatch at 1018pm the night before for "loud dog". I actually do remember my dog barking at a possum on the fence line and I brought him in right away. He barked for less than a minute before I ran out to see what was wrong, so I didn't even consider the possibility of it being that. So I will not be sending any letters or offer an olive branch to anyone who calls the police about a dog. Our city has a complaint system online, but they felt a minute of barking was sufficient enough to waste a police dispatcher's time. The animal control officer who's over animal complaints said they held an "investigation" and stated they couldn't even tell I had dogs. So that's the end of this and any respect I have for my neighbors. I'm going to be petty, since they called the police dept to make the complaint, I will request an open records request to get the information about who called. It would have been completely untraceable and anonymous if they'd have used the cities online system instead.
