## Opinion text

Judge Hedrick
concurring in result only:
I concur completely in the decision that the citation in question does not charge an offense. I am compelled to register, however, my opposition to using the North Carolina Court of Appeals Reports to publish my colleague’s totally irrelevant, however learned, dissertation on dogs.
