ARLINGTON, Va. (WUSA) -- A dog mural is at the center of a controversial dispute between a small business owner and Arlington County officials.

The 1,000-square foot mural depicts cartoon dogs chasing bones. Kim Houghton, the owner of a doggie day care business called Wag More Dogs, designed it and had it commissioned for $4,000.

Houghton had it painted on the side of her business that faces Shirlington Dog Park. But now it's covered by large blue tarps.

Houghton says the county was holding her permit and prevented her from opening her new business if she didn't comply.
