1941 Press Photo Lydia Hopkins in Nuisance Trial Has Dogs De Barked California

Redwood City, California - Miss Lydia Hopkins, wealthy resident of the ultra exclusive Woodside District, brings a few of her 46 dogs into court in a battle to keep the dogs on her premises. Court attaches tried unsuccessfully to make the "de-barked" thoroughbreds bark, as neighbors say they do. She had the dogs "de-barked" she contends, to satisfy neighbors who now are trying to have her kennels removed on grounds they are a nocturnal nuisance.
