I think the intention was they were going to leave the dog with my neighbor. I know that he has told them several times to not let the dog outside off leash. The problem is that when he’s not home, his in laws are letting the dog run loose. I yelled at it today saying I was going to shoot it (I won’t). But a man was standing in the yard and I did it for his ears. I leave for the Vet in about an hour. I am hoping Barney starts to show improvement. Right now he is lethargic. His right front leg was ripped from his rib cage to his spine. The vet said she could see his ribs. His right hind leg has a large wound also but it’s not as deep. This is the one that appears to be broken. I ache. |
I know you don’t want to make them pay but in order to get the point across that this is serious you really should. Putting in a formal complaint also is very good so if the dog attacks again it’s on record that this dog is aggressive. You also should look at leash laws because policeman or not he is required to follow laws. Make sure the vet has poor Barney on pain meds and antibiotics. I hope it’s not broken.
