[QUOTE="Star*, post: 570282, member: 4964"] Well........Problem with letting a dog (yours or otherwise) out of YOUR property????? IF it runs out and does any damage.......say to a child (bites them, or wrecks their bike) or causes a car accident???? YOU COULD BE LIABLE. In this day and age of cameras and nosey neighbors. You're really setting yourself up for a lawsuit. AND if you have the dogs IN your yard? 1.) THEY are safe 2.) EVERYONE else is safe. I would NEVER just cut the gate open and take a chance like that. Sorry all......I get the logic and frustration behind it...truly I do and I deal with VICIOUS dog calls all day long....but no way would I ever just open the gate. Slip a leash around it's neck and WALK it back to its home and TIE IT UP to their porch? YUP. Call the animal control..... 1.) MOST animal control folks WILL NOT come out if you say I have a dog running in the hood, barking blah blah blah......HOWEVER....if you have a dog TIED up and they can just COME TO YOUR HOUSE and GET IT? Yup.....going to the pound. SO Matts Mom is right. I have a dog in my yard. I need it picked up. I'm deathly afraid of dogs. I don't know how it got there. It APPEARS to be vicious. It tried to bite me, my children, I can't get to my garage, out the door, I'm late for work. YUP.......They're coming. 2.) The neighbors dog blah blah blah......CIVIL MATTER.
