    b. Section 502-A – Harboring a Dangerous Dog
  4. Request a District Justice to subpoena all eyewitnesses to testify on behalf of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania concerning a PA Dog Law Citation;
  5. Request all documents regarding licensing and proof of rabies vaccination from any dog owner within the Dog Warden’s County;
