I wish Merlot a speedy recovery and no limp to his leg. Take whatever action you can and to the fullest extent of the local laws. Document, notarize as others have suggested. We faced the same situation at least twice earlier this year when several of our neighbors golden retrievers came after the boys while they were being walked. Their dogs got out of the yard. Luckily each time the guys escaped with no harm solely because the friend that was walking them the first time pulled them up and out of harms way and I was there the second. What scares me is that my spouse will not react the same way and the boys will be severely injured or killed by these 75 pound dogs. or by the lady who walks her large dog off leash because she thinks he minds so well. I've asked her nicely to leash him after he has come growling at the boys.     |
