| It happened AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!! what is the deal??????????? ok...so you remember my thread from yesterday about the dog that got loose while we were on our walk???? well..... today, i was outside with my daughter. she was riding her bike. i hear this major commotion going on a few houses down..banging and such. didn't think too much about it. then I saw the dog from 2 houses down (pitt bull mix) come bolting out of the yard and into the street...towards where my daughter was riding her bike. I was on the phone with Deb (tiggerr36792) at the time. I tried to stay calm cuz I know dogs can sense nervousness or whatever...so I got off the phone and tried ringing the door bell to where the dog lives. thankfully, he was more concerned about me being at his house and he ignored my daughter. I made her ride her bike on down the street so he wasn't near her. no one answered the door!!!!! i rang the bell 3 times. The dog was barkign and growling..but he wouldn't come near me. I noticed him trying to get back into the fence. he had dug a huge hole under the gate and as we was trying to get under it, he broke a few slabs off of the gate. he was trying to get back in. when I noticed that, i walked over there...he took off running away...and I opened the gate for him. he ran inside the yard and I shut the gate behind me. I waited for about 10 minutes then decided to try ringing the door bell again. there were 3 cars in the drive way so I thought that surely someone had to be home!!!!! sure enough...the lady answers. I told her what happened and she started freaking out. she said she doesn't like dogs...that this is her husbands dog...and she has no idea how to handle the dog. she put a ladder down in front of the hole so he couldn't get through...and said that when her husband got home, she would have him fix it. what worries me is that this dog is 2 doors down from us. he clearly knows now that he CAN get through the gate if he tries hard enough. he was obviously afraid...and somewhat aggressive...barking and growling at me. and a LOT stronger than I am...he is a very big dog. I don't worry about him getting into my yard because we have a very good fence around it and it would take him a long time to dig under it...but my daughter LOVES to ride her bike...and we take our dogs on walks all the time. what if this dog continues to get out???? dogs attack when they are scared. it happens!!!! I am thankful that nothing happened today. I would have killed him if he hurt my daughter. but dogs like this...I just dont know....what do you do? how do you contain a dog that is SOOO determined to get out???? he literally dug his way out..and broke the fence to get through. amazing!!!! I warned a few of my neighbors that have children...just so they can be on the look out.

| Yes I can't believe that happened again today! I can't remember was it the man you talked to yesterday and they were nice and were wanting to get the latch fixed ? I don't know if I'm mixing up from another thread. Well this man better get the fence, hole, and slats, locks etc fixed pronto now!! Yes that would really bother me with your little girl and you always having to be on the lookout. You just want to be able to relax and enjoy your life in your neighborhood.

know what I mean? so i am not mad at the owners...they had no way of knowing this would happen. but it is scary to know that the dog can get out if he tries hard enough...and that he tends to get aggressive when he is scared.

My Little Man! Donating Member | oh wow that must of been scary. Dogs attack when they are scared. Watch your neighbors really closely. Now that you spoke with them they know the problem and hopefully fix it. If they dont and the dog gets out again and again then obviously they dont care to fix the problem. Then you know what to do. I am so glad that everything turned out to be ok but I honestly would be worried just knowing that dog can get out.

| Its an awful feeling to not feel safe in your own neighborhood. I'm so sorry you have this worry, and to think 2 days in a row something like this happened is really scary. We have a street that forms an oval, there is only one entrance/exit and its a small nice neighborhood. There was a pittbull that lived here and it was always in their chainlink fence. When I would walk by with my kids the dog would bark, but not in a manner that made me very nervous. When I would walk by their house with one or both of my labs this dog would go balistic. I would have my eye on it the whole time and it would be shaking the chainlink fence in his jaws trying so viciously to rip that thing apart and get after my dogs, or me.. who knows. Scary stuff... i'm glad that my neighbors moved

| you can call the humane society on them. Sounds like this is a dog that is going to need a concrete lining underneath and the fence built into the conrete to keep this dog from getting out.

I would report it to the local aspca. Better safe than sorry. If they want an aggressive dog then he should be in a gated dog run and not loose in the yard where he seems to keep getting out. Glad you were both ok.
