I may take flak for this but it sounds really irresponsible to have imported troubled dogs from another country. Is your neighbor a veteran? A veteran who has imported dogs from a wartorn country is not likely to see your point of view ever. Your neighbor wants them for irrational/emotional reasons.

Yes, he's a veteran.  I don't think the dogs were treated very well in whatever country they were originally rescued from.  I think you're 100% right about his wanting them for irrational/emotional reasons and never being able to see them for the risk they are.  He is single and they're his only family.  Things are already icey between us and escalating this further would likely make it worse.[/quote]

PP. It will likely make things worse.  The dogs got out accidentally.  As I'm sure you know, if they end up in the wrong kind of incident, the dogs could get put to sleep.

I feel this is a borderline situation.  Your neighbor's dogs are unlikely to be removed if you report him.  Police are very veteran friendly.  So the most you could achieve is to record somewhere the past actions/incident.  As I mentioned you could see what your local authorities think.  Not sure if that is police, animal control, or what.  I also don't know what your local laws are.  This is where you need specific local guidance.

It is a maddening, risky situation and yes it was an attack.  But also an accident and with no dog death, it probably falls more in the category of "annoying neighbors" and "bad stuff happens".

Work out safety rules with your kid.

If you detect serious under fence digging, let your neighbor know immediately.

Preserve your pictures and vet bills from the prior attack.[/quote]
OP please ignore this poster. This was NOT a “borderline situation”. Your son could have been seriously injured or worse. Not to mention your dog was nearly killed. You need to report this asap. [/quote]

This was not an accident.  Those dogs are aggressive and attacked OP dog.  If those dogs hurt another dog and could hurt a person they may need to be put asleep.[/quote]
