Video: 3 Dogs Fly The Coop, Chase Chickens In Rockmart

ROCKMART, GA — A Polk County resident is asking people to keep their dogs on a leash, or at least to keep them on their own property. The request came after a trio of trespassing pooches messed with the animals who live on a Rockmart property, as seen on the Neighbors app.

One white husky-like dog has been joined by a short-haired tan canine over the past few months, according to the resident. But around 9:45 a.m. Tuesday, they returned with a new black-and-white dog — and their paws crossed over the line.

"On the video, they can be seen chasing my chickens who, thank goodness are securely locked in a run, but this is not acceptable!" said the resident.

The dogs, their tails wagging, circle the chicken coop in the video.

Apparently, chickens were not the only ones they interacted with during their visit.

"My husband just happened to be home today, and said they had one of our cats penned up under some of our porch furniture on the back porch," the resident wrote.

Amid the chaos, the husband turned to his gun.

"They ran off when he started shooting at them with a BB pistol," the spouse said. "This is in the neighborhood behind First Baptist Church off Elm Street. Please keep your dogs at home, people!"

The person who shared the video asked whether anyone recognized the dogs, in hopes that they could keep them contained.

While the video was at a distance, it appeared only one of the dogs — the black and white pooch — was wearing a collar.
