It's just not safe to be a dog now days. Hotdog wieners have been known to occasionally have contaminants in them and people throw food out of their cars all the time. A large, open, bag of gummi bears left laying around could be bad for a dog too. There's something in them called Xylitol that's real bad juju for dogs and coyotes. Dogs really need to be real careful what they eat now days.

I'm honestly shocked that if multiple police reports have been filed against the dog and owners, that they havent taken it from them yet.

There's always civil court for things like this, but either way, sounds to me like that dog needs quit wasting/using up good oxygen and most importantly, you dont need to end up in jail helping solve the dog's problem.
