Rafter S said:Something similar happened to me some years ago. The neighbor's dogs had come onto our property and killed one of our dogs. Our children were small then and my wife was afraid to let them play outside. We contacted the owner, and he just shrugged his shoulders and said he couldn't catch them so there wasn't anything he could do about it.
There was something I could do about it.
I never understood when the dog owner just shrugs off their dogs behavior regardless of what it is. That's the usual response. One could pull up in someone's drive, and the dogs are foaming at the mouth, barking non stop, and lunging at the vehicle, and the owner will come out and say, "Don't worry, he won't bite you."
Well, gee, I'm sure he doesn't go around biting the owner, but I'm not feeling real comfortable in that situation.
