They may be man’s best friends, but not when they’re barking all night in a new residential neighborhood. The City of West Richland and some residents are fighting over the location of the city’s dog pound, which was placed years ago in a remote part of the city — an area that’s now being developed into a nice neighborhood on Bird Hill.

The homeowners knew the dogs were there, but moved in regardless. They just didn’t realize how loud it could get. Makes sense, since they’d be looking at the houses and lots in the daytime — everything sounds louder at night, right?

To make a long story short, the West Richland city leaders are going to work with the residents to come up with short- and long-term solutions. But I think police chief Layne Erdman says it best:

“We can’t move it [the dog pound] every time someone has a complaint.”
