* Talked with a Brown County Humane Society representative at 12:34 p.m. Saturday who said a man came to the shelter claiming to have found two dogs in rural Brown County and wanted to turn them in. After the man left, the human society learned of a microchip in one of the dogs that was associated with a North Mankato owner. Viewing the man on social media, the human society rep. said it was the same man who claimed to have found the dogs. The man was contacted and admitted to using a false name when turning over the dogs and avoiding a surrender fee. A report went to the New Ulm City Attorney’s Office for consideration of theft and mistreatment of animal charges.
