Bad Dogs Bad Neighbor

Dude acted like a self riotous pr#ck after it happened. Balling and couldn't believe that his dog got shot.

It's amazing how many people out there have that type of attitude. There was a case downstate a couple of years ago where somebody took their dog for a walk and he disappeared, as he was prone to do. They found his tracking collar in the river, but didn't find the dog until it was struck by a car and killed... about 50 miles away. Apparently somebody got tired of it showing up, and took it for a ride with tragic results. It sounded like a nice dog yet who knows what kind of mayhem it was getting into while running lose.

I wouldn't have had a problem if the dog was friendly. But when it shows being aggressive, and damaging vehicles..... that's a whole different animal.

We had routine visits from a Siberia husky that was an absolute sweet heart. I looked forward to her visits.

One of my neighbors has a German Shepherd that she let's run loose. He stays within 50ft of her. She doesn't let him off leash till she gets to certain spots on her walk. Then he's allowed to run loose for a bit till she gets into another neighborhood.

On days that she doesn't have to work, she takes him to a mountain bike trail that is used very little. She will let him off leash there as well.

I think the difference though, is that he listens to her, is trained to stay within a certain distance of her, and he's always within her site.

He's also an absolute sweet heart.

If your gonna do something like that, you need to be responsible as well as the proper training for the pooch.

When I was building our garage addition last year, I was hunched down working on something and all of a sudden I hear a dog panting next to my head. I look over and the neighbor's german shepard that is always chained up and barking wildly at me is standing there about 6" from my face. YIKES!

I calmly said "Hello." and he immediately started slobbering up the side of my face. Whew! Dog had the drop on me!

Since then, we are best buds.

The law should be that you must get a permit to own a dog, and only one dog per household. And that permit can be revoked with enough complaints.

I don't know exactly what happened in the case that I cited and as near as I can tell, only one person does. It's still an open investigation. Perhaps somebody stole the dog and it was trying to find it's way home. I've always suspected it got into somebody's livestock or poultry one time too many, and that person "took it for a ride."

The USPIS is the right first step as many of us have suggested, but keep in mind they may not be too helpful as far as paying a visit. They may send a letter (ha!) at least.

But for reasons we can't go into here in depth, they've been neutered (ha!) in what they can do and where. They were told not to do too much regarding things that happen off USPS property or don't directly involve bad acts of USPS employees.

Similar experience when I met the neighbors Siberian husky. Was changing out the blades on my mower. On my back, and noticed some paws come by then a head peaking under the mower at me. I asked her if we were gonna be friends???

Darn dog eventually had me trained to give her a ride home

Go for a walk. Take a gun. If the dogs are on public property and act aggressive, shoot to kill the dog. Better yet, take a video of the dogs actions.

Dog is the owners responsibility.

Sorry to say, you have butthole neighbors.

Shooting a dog is a felony in most states.

Bring a gun is almost always a bad idea.
In NY you can be arrested for thinking about a gun!

I had lost most of my laying hens to a fox. I found some replacements but didn't let them out of their pen for a couple of months. One day I was going to be working nearby and the fox pups had grown enough so that she didn't need to feed them. I decided to let them out, then went up to work in the garden. Not half an hour later I looked down to see a big white dog at the henhouse. It was the neighbor's Brittany, out for a walk; he just sniffed around and went on his way. I haven't seen him around before or since. It's 1/2 mile in a straight line from his house to my chicken coop, I guess that he had just decided to go for a stroll that day.
