[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My gripe is that OP did not indicate that a dog was murdered. I thought it was a person. I actually wondered about several friends who live in Glover Park!

OP, the dog was not on a leash. Sorry but no sympathy here.[/quote]

But according to the story the small dog did not leave his yard.  Dogs are not required to be leashed in their own yards.[/quote]

The article says:
[b]Sometimes, said Baroody, when another owner would walk a dog down Tunlaw, Freckles would run off the porch (to the edge of the wall supporting the lawn), and bark.[/b]

I dont really understand what this means and if there was a gate or a barrier there.  I have to assume no if the larger dog ended up with the smaller on in its mouth.  So he should have been leashed. Our dog runs from the porch to the gate sometimes to bark at another dog out of excitement but he cant get into it with the other dog because he is gated.  If we take him outside that area he is leashed.  
You can blame the larger dog owner for being unfeeling or a jerk for leaving but I dont think he did anything wrong legally here.  And sorry but it sounds like his dog was reacting as larger dogs do to a smaller animal.  You cant blame him for this if he doesnt have a history of being vicious before now IMO. 
It is a horrible tragedy but it is not actionable from what I know. [/quote]

I assume that means there is a small retaining wall at the sidewalk (usually these are about a foot or so high) and that the small dog was at the top of the retaining wall (in his own yard).   Presumably there was not a fence or a gate there.  I personally don't like when people let their dogs run in unfenced yards (some in our neighborhood have invisible fences) because you don't really know if the dogs are going to come out, [b]but as far as I know dogs are allowed to be unleashed in their own yards.[/quote][/b]

I think this would only be if they are contained/cannot get out.  If the little dog is on the top of a retaining wall, he is not contained IMO. [/quote]
