This is a pet peeve of mine. I live out -- like in the sticks. My nearest neighbor is 1/2 mile away. They keep
BIG mean dogs that are free to roam. When I walk my kids, I get to within about 100 yards of their house and turn around.....

Everytime I complain the current mean dog "dissapears" and is replaced by a Worser one!
Over the course of several years my son was bitten on the butt cheek -- it broke the skin and I called the police, I have had my miniature horses chased (while I was driving them) and my young QH colts have been chased.
