[quote=Anonymous]This is why places have laws against certain breeds.  It's not that they go out and knock on doors and seize the dogs, but the law is there in case of a situation like this.  It gives the neighbor an option to report the dog, and then the older is told they have to get rid of the dog or animal control will take it.

I'm a dog person.  I love dogs.  And I know there are friendly pits.  But there are also a lot of terrifying pits, and unlike a small dog that you could easily defend yourself against, pits are strong and powerful.  People should not have to live in terror in their own backyards.

OP, the first thing to do is to talk to the neighbor.  Tell the neighbor the dog is terrifying to your kids and you.  Ask if the neighbor would at the least agree to not leave the dog in the yard unattended.

If the dog doesn't even really belong to the neighbor, that might just be the impetus she needs to rehome the dog.  If she is leaving it outside alone a lot, it doesn't sound like she's particularly attached to it.

There's a lady in our neighborhood with two rotties.  She has a high fence, but they go crazy when we walk by (on the road).  The one even attacks the other one.  Every time I walk by that house, I feel bad for her neighbors.  She just leaves the dogs outside.  They're vicious to EACH OTHER, so I have no doubt they'd tear me or my dog apart if they got out.

I feel angry with people who have dogs like that.  I think they do it for "security," but the reality is that their dogs are a liability and a menace to the neighborhood.
