Got a result. This morning, after nearly stepping in the nice turd the dog had left just outside my front door, I went to the Humane Society and spoke to them. They said they would send someone over to talk to the owner. This evening when I arrived back I was immediately met with barking from the usual place but the dog did not attack and in fact stayed where it was. I went a little bit closer to see what was going on (all on my own property) and the dog became noisier but still didn't approach. Finally I saw that it was tied up on a rope.
Look, I'm a dog lover and I don't like seeing dogs left alone and tied on a rope, but in this case at least the neighborhood is safer and people and kids walking along the street outside won't get attacked - and the dog is still guarding the neighbor's property. And I can enjoy my yard again.
We'll see how this goes and if there's a reaction from the neighbors but so far so good and it's nice to get a result so quickly. I asked the HS to call me and let me know what happened but have not heard anything so far.
