| Somebody got in Trouble for their Dog Running off-leash after my Yorkie For the second time, our downstair neighbor's Boxer was running off-leash and went after Trixie. I'm sure it's a really nice dog, but if a 60lbs dog come charging after my 6lbs yorkie, I'm going to assume it's not good news. And after I quickly pulled Trixie up by her harness, the Boxer jumped on me to get to Trixie (I had some scratches on my arm). One of the owners came running after their dog and pulled her off me, but no apology no nothing. I was soooo mad, I was shaking. If this was the first time, I'd let it go. I know sometimes they run out the door... But for the second time? And both owners were outside? I was going to talk to them, after I dropped Trixie safely off at home, but they were gone. So my husband called the appartment manager this morning...

| Good for you, I would have complained too! Mind you, I probably would have gone up one side and down the other of that owner...

| I'm glad you complained. You don't have any way of knowing if the dog is just curious or bent on destruction when they run up like that!

| Off leash big dog! Sometimes people are soooo ignorant. Even if you have a big dog that is not aggressive to other dogs, some yorkies (especially the little bitty ones) kind of look like bunnies. Your "non-aggressive" big dog may still have the "hunt" instinct that will trigger a chase. I think it should be against the law to walk dogs in a neighborhood off-leash. If you live way out in the country its a different story. But it's a shame that I will no longer walk my 2 dogs, both under 10 pounds, in my neighborhood because of ignorance and negligence. I can get on a soap box about this one people!! I think I've worked myself up enough to report them to my town, I know the addresses of the people that have dogs that get loose, or are walked w/ no leash. If I'm gonna complain, I'd better do my part to resolve the issue!!!! I'd love to be able to take my boys on a relaxing walk without constantly watching over my shoulder and wondering if they are safe.

| I'm glad your husband said something, because even a nice dog can hurt you or your little dog. Whenever there's another dog involved, you never know what can happen. Some very nice dogs are unpredictable at times and it's better to be safe than sorry. Their dogs behavior reflects a total lack of training.

| The appartment manager told my husband that it was the 3rd complaint they'd gotten about that dog. So hopefully something will happen now! They got to get that dog under control. You should see the screen in front of the window of their appartment, it's all tore up from the job jumping at it whenever somebody walks by...
