If you allow your dog to run loose in Altoona, Pennsylvania, and that dog happens to gnaw on a tree, it'll cost you $3,100.00 in fines.
That's what happened to Tyler Port, who happens to own a dog that really likes trees...
This summer, Tyler Port allowed his dog, Rossman, to run loose in a park. The dog apparently had a habit of chewing bark off trees, and Port was cited for failure to keep the dog under control.
The city fined him $3,100.00 for damage to trees.
