Thank you.

The SCF app has identified the Jehovas Witness Church as the location for some reason. This is not accurate. The dog is at the intersection of 61st & Baker on the south side of the street near the large warehouse parking lot. That is where 61st Street turns into 61st Place in some odd naming quirk. It's the same 61st that runs all the way between San Pablo and Lowell, not to be confused with the tiny finger of 61st between Baker and Lowell that is technically called "61st Street".

I transported the dead animal to OAS myself since the city of Oakland couldn't be bothered to tend to this public health issue. Do I get a partial refund on my property tax? Because last time I checked, this is exactly the kind of thing my taxes are supposed to be paying for.

Thanks Michael, and good luck with that partial refund. Shame on Oakland
