I take it calling the police won't help? I can't believe he is allowed to get away with that. You were attacked and have a witness. The very least he should be made to keep the dog on a leash.
If the authorities aren't helping, have you considered training Bruce to use a pee pad and taking him elsewhere for his walks? It is inconvenient and unfair that you can't take your dog outside your own home but the alternative is not worth the risk. It sounds like a tragedy waiting to happen.
For added protection I would carry him in a carrier when you have to be anywhere near where that other dog might be. You might never see an attack coming and it could be too late to do anything.
I'm very glad Bruce wasn't injured and that was brave of you to put yourself in harms way to protect him. It must have been terrifying. |
