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? |
My former next door neighbors had an australian sheep dog and a brendyl colored female pit. The day they brought her home I went over to play with the new puppy. Because she had a coloring I had never seen before I was unaware that she was a pit until I asked (still playing with her) "What kind of dog is this?"
When they said a pit I stopped and started walking away. The neighbor said "They are all in the way you raise them, she is gentle as a lamb."
These people had a child with MD confined to a wheel chair. Knowing how capricious and unpredictable these dogs can sometimes be, I was wondering what they would do if this dog ever attacked their helpless son.
Well she grew and grew and one day....as the original poster described, she starting eating fence slats to get at my yorkie. She was through the fence and after us before I could scoop ROcky up and barely made it inside the back door. There she stood snarling and trying to break through the glass.
I called my neighbor at work and she came to get her and they had a new fence built. That is where I made my mistake, because animal control said that had they found her in my back yard they would have taken her in.
This animal finally killed the SHepard, after my witnessing many a terrible fight between the two from my second floor which over looks their back yard.
They finally got rid of her when they decided that she needed to be indoors to be watched, and she started to systematically dismantle the walls of the house.
Now I know all of them do not turn out this way, but you didn't have to live in fear next door to this particular one, I did.
