LOS ANGELES (AP) - More dogs will have their day now that Los Angeles County has raised the dog limit per household from three to four.

County supervisors on Tuesday unanimously approved the rule change.

Supervisor Hilda Solis, who co-authored the motion, says allowing residents to care for more dogs will help reduce the county’s shelter population.
