I asked. 6.05. I've got a couple questions about a dog. So I'm not with a lady. I made a police report for her this morning for sexual assault and assault. She also made allegations that the male half has beat her dog, that she has the dog with her. It's got a small, like superficial, she's calling it a stab wound. It looks like a small superficial cut that's partially healed. The dog looks like it's fed properly. I'm not seeing any visible injuries. We're not sure who owns the dog. I'm just following up with you to see, I guess, what your guidance and suggestions would be. All of this will be documented in the police report. But is there any reason for you to come out and take a look at the dog or take the dog or what would be big steps? If anything, we could always impound the dog and have that due in evaluation. Why don't IDEA ARC4 over here have more experience and will be able to set your more definitive answers? Sounds great. We're at 506.
