Thanks everybody so much for your responses! I hadn't really thought about calling the Police, but if (and when; I'm sure) I see the loose dogs again, I will definitely call the PD instead of Animal Control. I looked up Louisiana's leash laws and it stated the following: "State Laws Prohibiting Dogs Running at Large" Does that mean all dogs must be leashed? Does anyone know? Either way, I don't think the Police will argue when I tell them one of the dogs literally attacked mine, AND the fact that I've already tried to speak to the owner and reason with him. I have been taking Cookie to a public park that is pet-friendly. I like the park, but its about a 20 minute drive and when we got home Cookie was covered in picker-balls from the grass
But the park is very safe and everyone THERE is fully complying with leash courtesy. But car rides stress Cookie out so much that I just think it would be better to walk her in the neighborhood instead. I am going to walk Cookie tomorrow in the neighborhood and see if those dogs are loose. I'm going to bring my cellphone JIC they are and call the local police immediately! Where could I buy some of this doggie mace? I'll let everyone know what the Police say!
