"On this one, you are simply wrong."

No, I'm right.

Anyone can verify by simply calling the Dekalb county number for stray dogs, 404-294-2996. I spoke with Mrs. Walton and she confirmed what I posted was in fact how Dekalb AC officers conduct themselves. She also stated that the only way for a citizen to establish new ownership with a stray animal was for an AC officer to take the animal to the shelter for 5 days so that they could establish that there is no claim to ownership. She even stated "how are we to tell that you do not have your neighbor's dog?" She also stated that they would need to spay or neuter and She was unaware of your 3 day process.

Mrs Walton also insisted on sending an AC officer over up until I told her that there was no stray, that the dog in question was hypothetical. This reinforces my point that AC has a duty to respond. Responding to stray animals and possible violations is the primary mission of AC, it is like saying that a cop can choose to respond to bank robbery or not. It is doubtful that you spoke to an actual AC officer since they do not answer phones or work dispatch.
