Abandoned dogs prompt investigation
At least 18 Husky-type dogs found abandoned at several locations over the past several weeks have prompted an animal neglect investigation, Bonner County Sheriff's Office officials said Tuesday. Over the past few weeks, BCSO public information officer Capt. Tim Hemphill said at least 18 Husky-type dogs have been found in at least three locations — Spirit Lake, Blanchard, and Athol. "Many of them appear to be in very poor condition," he said.
