Wow, that must have been scary and I would be furious as well!! I am glad your little girl is alright, it could have ended much worse. I would definitely talk to them and give them a warning. You shouldn't have to fear for your furkids or children in their own yard.
I live in the country as well but I am very lucky as I have great neighbors. A majority of my neighbors have big dogs. Thankfully everyone here is nice and responsible for their dogs and don't let them run free. On an occasion one will get loose and one of us neighbors will catch it and return the dog but it is purely accident. Everyone here is very respectful of one another.
We have a big dog as well and she's gotten loose on us a couple of times. Last week there was a big dog in our yard, the part that isn't fenced. Somehow Daisy got out of our fenced yard and chased it home. I'm glad we have her, she really watches out for us and the little ones. |
