Loose Dog Reports
Here is a list of all Loose Dog Reports submitted to our site by residents of mauka Pa'auilo and Kalopa. These reports give information of sightings of loose dogs (unattended by people) that have been spotted by residents along our roads or in open areas. We ask residents to collect this information so that dogs may be returned to their owners, or identified as being potentially dangerous to residents, livestock or pets in our area.
The Status field indicates whether the dogs are still being monitored ("Open"), or whether the incident has been resolved ("Closed").

REVIEW
Observed:
I was driving mauka and as I came to the wide bend to the right, I saw three dogs on the left side of the road. They were rummaging through trash for food. I stopped and took these two photos. One dog came over to the car, quite friendly. The other stayed with the garbage.
Outcome:
I was in a dangerous location for traffic so I left. I learned later from friends who live on Manienie that these two dogs belong to someone in the vicinity and are often running loose.

REVIEW
Observed:
I was driving down Pohakea Mauka Rd. and just after the sharp turn over the gulch, I saw a large dog in the road ahead of me. The dog was staring at the small farm property on the right side of the road (chickens and ducks). I stopped and took the photograph below as the dog walked past me going back towards the gulch. I didn't stay to watch where the dog went since I was in a risky position on the road.
Outcome:
I drove away and didn't see where the dog went after that.
