Sorry for posting to an old thread. This has certainly been an interesting day or two what with fraudulent charges to my credit card and now back to the story of my neighbors and their attack dog.
For the last few months the dog has been tied up, but in recent weeks it has been allowed to roam again, including in my yard. Yesterday evening there was sudden shouting in the street outside. The attack dog had tried to attack two of my other (very sweet) neighbors while they were walking their own dogs. They both carried large sticks (one stick was a 9-iron I believe) and one had hornet spray. Fortunately, neither were hurt but were pretty shaken.
I talked to one of the neighbors this evening and she told me that she contacted the police and the humane society. Apparently, the sheriff (?) visited today but no-one answered the door where the attack dog lives (my immediate not-so-sweet neighbor). The Sheriff left a notice on the door and reported to my other neighbor that there were now two dogs running loose, not just one. The landlord of that house has also been notified.
After our chat I walked back to my house but noticed one of the bad neighbors was slowly driving off in the distance, but then stopped and drove back - very slowly. They then stopped outside my house for a minute or so before reversing back into their drive, stopping for a few minutes and then reversing all the way back to their house.
To say I'm a little nervous about what's coming next is an understatement, but hopefully the situation will be resolved one way or the other in the next couple of days.
It's a real shame. I have wonderful neighbors apart from the immediate one, we're all looking out for each other and I also adore dogs, so this is hard. The bad neighbor has been spoken to by us and said he'd restrain the dog, but that clearly isn't happening. Anyway, will update everyone if you are interested.
Letting an attack dog loose when you're already on notice for your dog attacking both children and adults, well, that's just inexcusable.
