An agressive dog could easily hurt THEM and if he isn't careful with so much muscle he could be responsible for what his dog does and IF he ever threatens you or Brownie - you should call the police immediately -

Since he's a neighbor - I'd talk to him just like you would a friend first....then if that doesn't work -I'd get tough with him...some kids really can respect you treating them as adults - but others will laugh in your face.

That's pretty scary - Kids in my neighborhood have pitts - the new thing is to go down the street on their bikes...with the DOG pulling them -

On hot Houston streets I really may call someone if I see THAT again.

This is great advice. I notice with most topics on this forum, you can't go wrong listening to Villette! I think too many times people call the cops or other authorities and just make matters worse. Give them a chance to be decent and they may surprise you -- and grow up a little in the process.
