[quote=Anonymous]In our neighborhood (a VA suburb), there is a home where the occupants routinely allow their dog to go outside unleashed and unaccompanied. The dog wanders around for a while, does his business (I assume), and returns to the house. The home is located right off of a walking path in our community, and also close by a neighborhood playground, so my little kids and I encounter the dog semi-frequently. He seems like a nice dog, and has never acted aggressively toward us thus far, but I am nervous that one of these days one of my kids is going to be running down the path and round the corner to find the dog there, and startle him, and then the dog might react badly out of fear. It makes me really nervous -- I've always been afraid of dogs biting kids, especially since my little cousin was bitten in the face by a dog as a toddler and still bears the scar. (Also, our county has a leash law and a pooper scooper law, and letting the dog out alone like this is in clear violation of both). Anyway, I was thinking of alerting the HOA to see if a letter can be sent to the homeowners. Does this seem reasonable? [/quote]
