Neighbors Dog

[NightOwl]

I'm in alabama, deep in the country. Lol. It is a common occurrence here. My own was shot at with buckshot by my neighbor before we bought the wireless fence for her. But she (we) kind of deserved it for not doing it sooner. She had all 5 of his horses herded into a corner of his pasture. I'd be angry too if I was him.

I understand not wanting your neighbors to go crazy on you, but the bottom line is it's a LIABILITY issue. If one of the dck or dcp was bitten you could be SUED and considered liable because you knew the dog routinely got out.

I think the humane society was a good idea. We have leash laws here so I'd call the police for a roaming dog - if you don't have leash laws I think you should call the police if there are any further problems.

I walk/run down my county road. A neighbor a mile or so down the road recently got a dog who barks uncontrollably while constantly advancing toward me. The other day the owner was yelling at it & I said to him, "I hope he doesn't bite. I would hate to see you & your dog on the wrong end of a lawsuit." He told me that wasn't very neighborly. I replied, "There is nothing neighborly about letting your dog roam the neighborhood barking aggressively at people on the road. "

The moral to the story; Being a good neighbor goes both ways.

Look up dog bite laws in California. Call animal control for advice.

In NY, the owner gets 'one free bite' before he is liable. My dd was viciously attacked, scarred for life and has muscle damage. We received not a cent-not even medical. I was told in court that the law forbid a judgment. The lawyer told me that the only person LEGALLY liable was the one watching the child at the time--- my Mother.

In IN, the pet owner is in violation of the law for allowing a dog to roam free & libel for any injury created. I'm a pet owner.., a dog, cat & 2 horses. It's really not that hard to contain & train your animal.
