A team of officials led by Forest ranger Nagiah collected the pugmarks yesterday.
The marks are that of a leopard which may be roaming in the area, he said. He had also received complaints about missing dogs.
Steps would be taken to fence the border areas of the forest to prevent entry of wild animals into residential areas, he said.
The security guard of the bungalow was the first to notice the pugmarks and inform the councillor after he found the dogs missing from there.
