Aloha,
Did you hear about the elderly man who was mauled by several dogs yesterday,July 27th on 24th Ave in HPP?
There is nothing about it in the news anywhere and people being attacked by dogs is getting worse and worse.
I have second hand information and it is from my husband who was there working on a house on the street when it happened.
Aloha, No we didn’t. There was a recently new Law passed in our county. Did you post about it in our facebook group. Sometimes a little light on subject shines bright.
