[quote=Anonymous]Today I confronted my neighbors who have a pit bull in the apartment complex where there are breed restrictions. In my building, there are at least three different renters in three different units with breeds that are restricted: pit bulls and German shepherds.

I have a small toy breed dog.

This neighbor leaves the dog unleashed and unattended on their balcony. I have started avoiding walking by their balcony. The dog will stare at me and my dog when we walk by. Sometimes the dog will jump up and put her paws on the railing, standing. She's on sidewalk level, and she can easily jump over.

Because of painters, I had to park my car near their apartment. I was afraid.

Today, I was walking out of the mail room three buildings away, and the pit bull was unleashed and jaunting toward me. The young couple was walking behind the dog with their smaller dog on a leash.

I wasn't afraid, but I was startled. I was very polite. But, I told them, "Your dog frightens me. I'm afraid of your dog." They are a young couple who speak English as a second language. The woman said her dog is very nice. I asked how old is the dog, is the dog really old and not able to jump? Because I see the dog sitting outside without a leash. She said the dog is only 1 year old.

Just a few feet away from where the pit bull was walking off leash, is a children's playground, with small children playing.

Everyone thinks their dog is okay and will not hurt anyone. However, I can no longer abide by people who are flagrantly walking around with the pit bull not even on a leash. I think it's cruel to have a dog that size in a small apartment to begin with.

What do I do? Should I write a formal email/letter to the management? Should I go to the management and speak with them? I'm a woman in my early 50s. I don't have small children. How can I possibly be the only person who complains about this issue?

Issue 1: Breed restriction violations.
Issue 2: Leash law violations. [/quote]
