See that panting bit of fluff on the left? His name is Gizmo. And he has a bounty on his head. (Actually, does he even have a head? Looks to us like he’s just one piece.) If he’s ever seen in Aspen, Colo., again, it’s curtains for the 13-year-old canine.

Lester, an 11-year-old bluetick coonhound, was banned from the resort island of Nantucket at about the same time. According to The Boston Globe, neighbors and police testified that Lester howled incessantly, and that he has bitten four people in the last few years.

It’s not clear what would happen if Lester finds himself on the island again. Some say authorities might have him destroyed. Others say he’ll just be put on the next boat out of town. It’s probably not a chance Lester or his people want to take. Know anyone selling a nice hosue in Providence? Lester might be looking…
