Works departmentt cleaned out were, not wanting them to get damaged or to mate with (See ANIIIALS, Page S) other animals that might mix up their pure blood lines. But, that's not the situation in Citio. There are many people on base who let their cats and dogs roam freely and then lose interest in them when they are caught by the pound master or when they have offspring. Some residents, in fact, when moving to other commands or cities, leave their pets to take care of themselves rather than turn them over to base police or give them away. It's Bridwell's job to keep these pets off the streets, to dispose of them if he can't find their present own- ers or someone who wants them and to find wild and stray animals and dispose of them to keep them from spreading rabies.
