Can Anyone Help Me?

So hard. Having problems with neighbors is almost like having problems with family--you can't ever really get away from them.

Is your backyard super protected now so the dog can't get in? You'd have liability problems if it's not.

I would be careful about trying to be too sympathetic and "not blame the breed." If it attacks other animals, isn't it reasonable to think it might attack a child? Would a normal person be concerned about that? I would say that, yes, a normal person would be concerned about that, which also makes you liable if you don't take strong enough action.

The landlord will not allow me to fence it. But I am not really worried about that. He has never bothered people, in fact he has been nothing but sweet the times I took him home. And there are dogs at the park all the time, you can't be overprotective of everything. I am much more worried about someone trying to save their pet and getting hurt. He is down right mean to other animals. Had the neighbors little dog in his mouth last week. I think I have done all I can really reasonably do.

ETA: THEY have a fully fenced back yard, but they don't put the dog there much he stays in when they do. But they take him outside off leash, and let the kids (one being about 3) take him out there alone. They don't watch him and he wanders off. It's all good, until he runs into another animal.

If he allows you to take him home, then put him in the car and take him out of state. Done. Or get a gun.

Hopefully the citation will get them to use their fenced back yard.

Yeah but I won't approach two dogs fighting. He has caused my dog injury and a vet bill once, and fought with him three times. That is the issue, if he wasn't attacking other animals, I may not care so much.
