In fiscal year 2014-15, Manchester animal control officers returned 4,269 complaint calls, according to a town report. McConnell starts her day by listening to messages on speaker phone in her office. On a cold March morning, she heard a report of a cat killed by a car on Autumn Street, a complaint about people letting their dog roam in East Cemetery and a sighting of a dead dog, possibly a Siberian Husky that had been reported missing, belly up in the Hockanum River. A quick follow-up on the last call showed the Husky turned up alive, so the bloated carcass in the river was something else.
