Incident Renews Importance Of Island’s Pet Laws

ASSATEAGUE — After an incident emerged related to dogs going after one of the wild horses on Assateague, National Park Service officials this week are reiterating the importance of the laws regarding pets on the barrier island.

Photos of two dogs harassing one of the famed wild horses on Assateague began circulating on social media platforms last weekend, prompting Assateague Island National Seashore officials to begin an investigation into the incident. Assateague Island National Seashore Chief of Interpretation and Education Liz Davis this week confirmed the incident was being investigated, but could not comment specifically on it because the investigation is ongoing. She did confirm the incident occurred last Saturday, but park officials were not notified until two days later on Monday.

  7. I too believe their should be a steep fine for the owner of these dogs and that they pay for any harm at all to the horse. Island visitors too need to get names or tag numbers for owners if they see anything.

  8. WTH is it with some dog owners anymore?! Our neighbors think it is OK to let their pitbulls run loose & call us names when we dare to mention that they are supposed to be leashed (the law).

  12. boxers, not pits....usually friendly, but shouldn't be loose anywhere near a horse...I'm surprised that the horse didn't kick him in the head.
