They walk the pit bull a lot and it has always made me uncomfortable with small children in the street. The pit bull has not been violent yet against anyone. But recently, the neighbors have begun keeping the pit bull in their front yard, on a leash that’s about 20 to 25 feet, long but not long enough to reach the sidewalk. The pit bull barks aggressively at children passing by and is scary to them. It is also scary to adults. Personally, I hate the damn dog. Is there anything that can be done? Get the county involved?

The OP mentions none of those things.

Correct- I applaud your reading comprehension. OP is talking about a dog in her neighborhood that barks and has not lunged at anyone or been aggressive. It says it right in the OP.
What?
She specifically says the dog barks and lunges at everyone who walks by the front yard.
Dog people are something else.
Here's what OP said:

It makes no mention of a lunge. And barking and lunging together are very different than just barking.
Why don’t you (and OP’s neighbors and all other pitbull owners/apologists) stop terrorizing your neighbors? NO ONE likes your dog. Your dog is a monster. And you’re an idiot.
Actually you should look in the mirror. If "no one" liked pit bulls than no one would own one, right?" which is obviously incorrect! So did you find the idiot? hint...it isn't the pit bull owner
Pit bull owners are aggressive and selfish people, and I don't consider them worthy of my consideration.
Normal people who are not completely insane do not like pit bulls
+1
I genuinely hate pit bull owners at this point. It’s not much different than walking around with a live grenade IMO. If pit bulls ONLY posed a danger to their owners then it would be different. But it’s outrageous that whenever I take a walk through my neighborhood, or let my kids play in the yard, or take my dog to the dog park, I have to be on my guard in case their “friendly” savage animal decides today is the day it’s going to snap.
I assume most pit bull owners were unable to get a real dog (one for which you have to wait on a list and then pay a not insignificant chunk of money for) and that’s why they defend their hideously ugly, volatile, and dangerous dogs so vehemently. So they can pretend this is the dog they chose and not the one they got stuck with.

Yeah, no.
They have no control.
They’ll kill you first.

Most pit bulls never rip anyone's face off. And 70% have never and will never harm a single human.

Anonymous wrote:It took 3 seconds to Google this for Arlington, so I imagine OP just wanted to start a discourse on how terrible pit bulls are. I would suggest you talk to your neighbor before calling Animal Control or the police on a dog who has done nothing wrong.
I have a beagle - the most docile dog you can imagine - that barks like a madman at anything walking by the house. I wouldn’t say that barking and “looking scary” is indicative of aggression.
