Oh, there was another time that a dog was roaming in the street. Called animal control, and they said they would come out but could my husband get it and keep it until they got here! No-one could get near the dog. Two animal control guys couldn't even get it - but the female that was with them was able to catch it.

None of the dogs belonged to neighbours. We know our neighbours who have dogs and none of them are big dogs.

I don't know if they keep the complaints anonymous, I would think they would otherwise people would be reluctant to complain.

I'm sorry you and your family had to go through all of that. ): I am happy that you were able to take care of it. I've never been bitten by a dog, but my Mom has, and as a result, I wasn't able to have dogs until I moved out 8 years ago (but she adores Khloe now on our visits). I know that this dog belongs to the family 3 doors down. And the other dog that visited belongs to the guy across the busy street. His dog actually got underneath our 'party of 2 rooster coup' and pestered my kid's two pet roosters. The man came over and chased the dog through my yard, and my two neighbor's yards also. Both dogs seem to have good homes, but with carelessness, someone is bound to get hurt (humans and Furbabies alike).

I will call and ask them if it is kept private, and if so, I will call without hesitation next time. The dog was tagged and looked well-kept, but I heard kids calling for it. I have a 5 and 6 year old, but they don't go outside unsupervised alone or with Khloe.
