[quote=Anonymous]I would call animal control stat.  I love dogs and have had several over the years.  I had a situation with a neighbor years ago with their dog that they let run off leash and it frequently would run at me and my dog and pounce on my dog.  I talked to the neighbor several times to no avail.  Then the dog ran at my elderly father and pushed him down.  That was the last straw and we called animal control.  We had to go to a hearing because the owner contested that his dog was dangerous.  The ruling was in our favor but he got to keep the dog -- had to put up a dangerous dog sign and never let it off leash.  I think there would be some more serious consequence (taking the dog away?) if there was another incident.  It was not a satisfying resolution to me but at least it forced the neighbor to be more careful and there were no further incidents.  OP, call animal control NOW before there is an even worse incident.  I would hate to see a dog be put down but if they can't rehome that dog in a less populated area with an experienced and careful owner then it's better than having someone get hurt.  Your neighbor is seriously negligent and is opening themselves up to major liability.  [/quote]
