A curious dog got hold of a fiber optic cable that ran between county buildings in Mississippi, chewing it to pieces and costing county officials thousands of dollars in an attempt to get it fixed. The cable connected a courthouse and a nearby Justice Court building in Amite County, Tim Wroten, the county’s sheriff, told the Enterprise-Journal Wednesday. ADVERTISEMENTThe wire was mostly elevated but dipped to the ground by the front door of the Justice Court building, where the dog chewed it. If officials knew who the troublemaker was, the county could seek damages, which amounts to more than $7,000 (around P340,000), from the owner, according to Wroten. Amite County Justice Court Judge Roger Arnold said it’s his first time hearing a case like this.
