I discovered the pit living next door when my husband and I had the girls outside while we did some yard work. I was walking up to the house when our schnauzer started going crazy. Lola soon followed suit. I looked over to see what had them freaking out and there was this young guy with a huge tan pit on a leash. Points for having the pit on a leash but what good does it do if he can't control the animal while on the leash? I started freaking out. I ran over to the girls, who by the way were jumping at the fence right in front of the dog's face, picked both of them up and carried them into the house.
Thank God my husband had fixed the gap in between the house and the first chain link fence post the previous weekend. What if Lola had slipped out and ran up to the dog?!?! I swear she's braver than the schnauzer! lol
I'm sorry if anyone is offended by my ranting about another breed but when it comes to my 4 lb yorkie I tend to be a little over protective. Even our medium sized schnauzer would be no match for a dog of that size and strength.
Okay, I'm done ranting now. Thanks for reading! lol  |
This could be tricky if something happens and he can prove it's your dogs going to the fence instigating his dog and not the other way around. I wonder if the dog is always on a leash and monitored when outside or only because the area is new to the dog and the owner wants it to know this is home now before he lets it free in the yard. Is it your yard that's fenced or his? How did his dogs react to your dogs barking at the fence?
