Tom - I may have missed it in the thread (since this one is so long) - but are you on Beach Road? I ask because I walk my dogs down there daily. My dogs and I have been attacked multiple times by loose dogs. Two dogs of one guy in particular have come after us 3x, the third time causing me a week of neck and back pain. (Owner was oblivious and said the dogs are friendly.)
Extremely sad that multiple people are giving tips on killing the dogs (but not that surprised given who is doing the posting of those comments though.) I'm sure the trolls will come after me and say the dogs deserve to die, but really it is the owner's fault, not the dogs. The thing I don't understand is why the humane society has not confiscated the dogs yet with so many documented attacks.
I've been in Tom's boat - it sucks. He is lucky his neighbors all band together. I have a neighbor who built a dog kennel housing a dozen hunting dogs dogs directly across from my bedroom - they bark 24/7. No amount of talking to them has helped.
I can't walk my dogs to the end of my street at one end because multiple houses have medium size loose dogs that chase after bikes, cars, and people.
I can't walk my dogs to the other end of my street because two houses at that end (on either side of the street) let their little dogs loose. Two of those dogs run after cars and several times I've come close to hitting them or seen other people come close. (I love animals and would be devastated if my vehicle caused the death of a dog.)
So I walk down along Beach Rd because there is less traffic. Only to get attacked by loose packs of dogs.
Just want to know vicinity so I if I decide on a new route one day I don't run into them.
Good luck Tom!
