Perhaps you did not read the first post clearly. Davinci got outside unnoticed when the kids took out the trash. A leash would not have helped in anyway. We ALWAYS leash our dogs when we go anywhere other than our home.

The pitbull owner was a recently release ex con. Trust me he was not even thinking about leashing that dog. I doubt he even owned one, except maybe a "big ole chain" to chain him to the nearest tree.

As far as gates go, yes now I am installing them. I almost feel like I have to hire a body guard to protect my dogs now. Its ridiculous the steps we have to take to protect our family and dogs from ignorant people. But I will not blame myself or my children for what was tragic accident caused by a very ignorant irresponsible person.
