It wouldn't hurt to try to talk to the dog's owner and then at least if anything did happen (God forbid) that you could tell the police you had even tryed talking to him. Good luck. Be careful with that little one. |
I do have a privacy fence, but that doesn't help when I'm going from my house to my car.
I'm going to have to get a carrier, but it's extremely unfair that I can't walk 10 feet without going through that hassle.
It's going to be hard talking to him because I never see him.

I only know about the dog's aggressive behavior because of what my next door neighbor told me (he was there when it went after the other person too).
I plan on asking for more details and asking if he'll talk to the owner next time I see him.
My family has known this neighbor over 30 years and I trust him, he used to love this dog. The dog was with him all day, until it went after him, now he does the bare minimum for it.
He has had 1 pit bull and 2 rotties, so he's familiar with "bully breeds" all 3 of his dogs were nice.
I can get the pictures and video and contact animal control. I can also look up laws and see if he's violating anything else.
Even without knowing about his aggressive behavior, I don't like that there's an unleashed dog on my street.
Thanks, both of you.
