Really quick update on the situation here:
1) Property manager sent a letter to the neighbouring tenants saying the dogs had to be restrained properly and he'd visit on Friday 18th Jan to inspect the property and make sure tenants were in compliance.
2) Loose dog attacked the property manager while visiting the property on the above date.
3) Dog/s loose again on Saturday, rumours of an attack on someone but not sure who yet.
4) Tenants disappeared on Sunday morning/early afternoon, left dogs but at least they seemed to be tied up. One of the dogs looked to have a serious limp but no way was I going over there to see if it was OK.
5) Tenants arrived back on Monday night, dogs let loose again.
6) Tues 22 Jan - two neighbours attacked in the street at around 5:15pm. Tenant appears and promises to control dogs by putting them on a leash.
7) Tues 22 Jan 10:15pmish I was attacked by dog in my yard 5 yards from front door. Its attack run was silent until within feet of me when it started barking and trying to go for me.
8) The other neighbours and I have an emergency plan for this and 911 were called (although the call was later cancelled after I got to the neighbour's house and said I was OK and hadn't been bitten. All the neighbours were out with weapons (baseball bats, a cricket bat in my instance plus pepper spray).
So for anyone on Beach Road, A or B Road in HPP that heard or were woken up by a very loud air horn going off around 10:15pm on Tuesday night, that was me. Sorry if I woke you but that was the plan if one of us was attacked and we could not get to a phone. It worked very well and I am blessed to have wonderful neighbours who were there in an instant.
The tenants were served with an eviction notice today but still have 45 days before they actually have to leave. That's going to be 45 days of more dangerous dogs attacking eveyone and even then it's no guarantee they will leave. And if they do it'll just be to a neighborhood where the dog can attack a whole new bunch of people.
