Two dogs I have never seen before running loose on my property. 5:00 am they set off the driveway alarm. Cause my dog to go nuts waking my SWMBO. One is a big Rottie. Not sure about the other. They both clearly have collars. When it gets light out I will go out and see if I can get close enough to determine who the owner is.
Sorry just had to b*tch...... too early in the morning for this.....
Not a lot you can do in my experience. It sounds like one instance and it happens. I have a neighbor that thinks it's his right for the dog to roam. Barks all night, funny thing is I dont complain about the barking but he knows its frustrating so he brings it up first in conversation stating his dog is doing his job.
Basically the law wont do anything for you until after someone gets bit or after it eats your animals. Around here if you can catch it during the act you have the right to protect your animals.
In my case he's just s real ****** dog owner. First dog he had I'm pretty sure it caused a wreck where the kid died in my front yard. I heard later that he found his dog dead in the ditch just ahead of where the accident started where the kid went through his brick mailbox.
His next dog was attacking the lady's animals down the street. She had all sorts, I recall it was attacking her peacocks at the time. She couldn't catch it in time and the dog ran home. Well she took her gun and went 3 houses down and shot the dog in the owners front yard. She went to jail for 2 years.
Third dog got hit and died. He immediately got a new dog but it's a puppy atm cant wait for the terror it will bring.
In the first week of moving in I had to come home from work to help my wife get out of our own house. A big dog from another neighbor jumped on her as she was coming back from an errand and wouldn't leave.
All four closest houses to me have dogs and they have all been in my yard. The old couple have an old dog that's over daily but he just roams, doesnt even bark. He walks away from me when I'm outside.
I also have a driveway sensor that's had been tripped a few times. It's pretty close to the gate so once the dogs learn they cant go that way they dont trip it anymore.
I guess I'm saying, you should feel lucky if this is uncommon for you. Dogs can sometimes find a way out. If you can, help the dog find its owner this time and maybe the owner just slipped on something or the dogs found a weakness in his fence he was unaware of and will now fix it.
