Well last night I was walking my two little Yorkies minding my own business walking past their home their pitpull in a rage started knocking down the fence slats! He was trying to get to me and my dogs :eek I had the sickest most scariest feeling in my stomach! I reached down very quickly and scooped up my dogs and walked quickly, NOT running to my home...I just knew he would get out before I made it.  I kept looking back behind me and hoping he was not coming! I made it home! I just feel terrible for this family but I know the right thing to do is call the police. I am just so torn...I do not want to cause any more grief or stress for this sweet family. However a child or dog will be attacked....When I left my neighborhood this morning I looked at the fence ...one slat is gone!: a big enough space for his nose to get through!!!!
What should I do? |
I'm so sorry about your friend - what a tragedy....
I had that problem when I was in my house with my husband for a few months when my neighbors were keeping their daughters pittbull - he/she kept chewing up my (6' WOOD fence) and I was constantly boarding it up - we're talking multiple holes and pushing boards loose - when they get it into their heads to get out & it's wood - they WILL
in your case - talk to the family - not only for the loss of the mom but also mention their dog is an 'attack waiting to happen' - if they can get a hole big enough to see thru - they can make one to escape through - I'm surprised the dog didn't already get out.......I'd have been scared too -
we were charged by one a few months ago in my new apartment - lucky for us - the dog wasn't in attack mode - but it was a close call -
