[Deadbug]

I don't know. I guess I'd handle things a little differently. I live in a neighborhood full of big dogs. In fact, there's one right next door to me. When I take Gabby out, I carry her until we're at a safe area and then put her down to do her business. The doggie mace is a good idea.

I learned a long time ago that creating problems with the people you live near is never a good idea. There's nothing worse than sitting in your home, the one place you should feel safe, knowing the guy just down the street really has it in for you. Calling in authorities, etc is probably jumping the gun since A) the dog IS on a leash and B) The dog only makes owners feel uncomfortable. It hasn't attacked anyone. It's like judging the criminal before he commits a crime. Kinda unfair. I think I'd be pretty upset if someone accused my do of being aggressive when she hadn't done anything wrong to warrant that accusation.
