Colo. dog owner cited after neighbor videotapes barking

(CBS) LONGMONT, Colo. - A Colorado man said he had enough of his neighbor's barking dog, so he videotaped the dog and turned the evidence over to police, CBS Denver reports.

Following the admission of evidence, the dog owner was reportedly issued a citation.

"We encourage the persons who are complaining to take up an active role in the investigation," Cmdr. Jeff Satur with Longmont police said.

The video, made Aug. 23, shows the backyard of James Wait's neighbor, and 45 minutes of consecutive barking, the station reports.

While Wait declined the station's request for an interview, the dog's owner, Fred Agado, made no bones about it: He said his videotaping neighbor has gone too far.

"My neighbor has been, in my opinion, has been harassing us. He has come to my house, left notes at my house, knocked on my door, called the police several times," Agado told the station.

Agado said the complaints from his neighbors have gone on for four years and he's had enough.

"Dogs will bark and they do bark," he told CBS Denver.

Agado was issued a citation for disturbing the peace, which he plans to fight in court, claiming the video doesn't prove his dog was the offender.

"I think it would be really tough for him to say that it is my dog without an actually picture of my dog barking," Agado said. "A sound recording? That can be manipulated. I just don't see how I can get a citation for that."

Is Fred Agado's neigbhor  James Wait barking up the wrong tree?
