I think they go through this all the time; where us citizens are like little children who don't know the law or something. He said it's up to the humane society; that there was no intent on the neighbor's part. He said "anywhooo", "you have every right to protect yourself, know what I mean". The Humane Society is a non-profit, volunteer group. They're aren't a government agency. I have the right to have police protection.
I'm pretty sure I come off to my family, friends and online buddys as "boy, if I were in that situation....I would..."
I can tell you what really happens now. The whole event must have taken place in a couple of minutes. I wasn't able to think. I remember not being able to find the door. If I stand in the middle of the room, there's two doors 13 feet away and I couldn't find the door.
I learned this from my Brother who works for the FD. He said when you call 911, tell them you need an ambulance that you are injured from wild dogs that entered your house and maybe still on the property, and you are bleeding profusely... . They will send a PD with the ambulance automatically. The system takes over better from there.
