Randomly attacked by neighbor's dog... Would you report it? - Page 2

Jax's Mom · 02-04-2011, 08:40 AM

My dad is all about "teaching stupid people their lesson" and is secretly fuming inside that his little 70lb babies got hurt... if this ever happens again I'm certain the police will be involved but he says he's satisfied for now because they sent the kid over to apologize that he left the door open and see how their dogs were.
It sounds like the kid was made aware that it could have been a lot worse.

I agree.

Now if it happened again.......different story.

If these people are truly sincere, and realize they have to take precautions and prevent future incidents, I would not report them. You can tell when people are BS ing. If I saw the dog loose again, I would consider it. Since your parents do have to live there, dealing with them directly is better than getting officials involved.
There is a family around the corner from us that had a lab. They kept him in the outside kennel day in and day out. The dog barked non stop. I'd go to bed he'd be out there barking, I wake up he is still out there barking at 5am. I went to them 3 times complaining, as nicely as I could. Hubby moved out and wify was leaving the dog out. The final time I went there the wife told me they were rehoming him because they cant stop his barking. Even in the house, she told me he ruined the house, they tied him to the stove and he ripped the door off...gee ya think!! Anyway I was tempted to call the town but I didn't because I have to live there and didn't want to have to deal with that level of tension.
Now the wife has a pit (friendly so far) that gets loose. She was trying to catch her in my front yard one day in her pjs. I could only stand there and shake my head and offer her cookies. I am glad there is no animosity between us.
Some people just shouldn't have animals.
