I think noting it on the police report is the way to go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-dangerous-neighborhood-dog#post-195756 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 20:54:29 +0000 MamaMoose 195756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would avoid making threats to your neighbors. Even if the dogs are removed you still have to live near the people. It may be too late for you to file a separate report, but it can definitely be noted in your neighbor's report that this is a repeat offense. If I were you I would just ask the police to advise on what is the best course of legal action to make sure you and your family are protected. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-dangerous-neighborhood-dog#post-195754 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 20:53:53 +0000 dagret 195754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In our state, dogs only have to attack another dog unprovoked once before they can be legally deemed a dangerous dog.</p> <p>They already have a fence- which the dogs can jump, bc my husband witnessed it- and this time they ran out the front door. </p> <p>It's been a while so I'm thinking it might be too late for a police report. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-dangerous-neighborhood-dog#post-195750 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 20:49:39 +0000 jennylynn 195750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with chopsuey. Would it be possible to negotiate with the owners and tell them they have X amount of time to get a fence put up for the dogs or you're turning in a report as well, and calling animal control? I'm guessing no since they let it happen more than once, but it's a thought. Otherwise, I'd make a report also. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-dangerous-neighborhood-dog#post-195744 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 20:43:54 +0000 chopsuey 195744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yikes!! So scary!! They could cOme after you, or heaven forbid your baby! Those dogs need to be taken away... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-dangerous-neighborhood-dog#post-195741 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 20:39:12 +0000 dagret 195741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, a few months ago, one of our neighbor's dogs got loose from its leash, ran into our yard and attacked our dog. Luckily, we have a woodpile out back and DH was able to beat the dog off, but not before it punctured the skin of our pup in a few places. </p> <p>The guy came over, swore it was the first time it ever happened, and paid our vet bill. We did not file a police report. </p> <p>Yesterday, the same dog and it's "brother" rushed out the front door of their house, ran across 2 yards and into our neighbor's yard, severely injuring their dog. They called the police and filed a report. </p> <p>I told our neighbor that we would tell the police of our dog's attack as well, if they wanted us to. I feel so bad that we didn't call the police, bc this could have possibly been prevented. </p> <p>We don't have a real fence, we have an invisifence, and I am scared that these dogs will attack again. </p> <p>How could you even justify keeping dogs that attack other animals unprovoked?! </p>
