[QUOTE="HereWeGoAgain, post: 48348, member: 3485"] Glad Bandit's going to be OK! Was your daughter traumatized by the charging dog (it's [i]extremely[/i] frightening)? That neighbor better thank her lucky stars you aren't suing her for emotional distress! You could probably force them to have the dog put down too. "Accidents happen" -- sheesh. When I was a kid some neighbors up the street had an attack dog, a German Shepherd, trained to be vicious. They kept it in their garage on a chain. All of us kids were scared to go too near their house 'cause we'd heard the dog growling and snarling. One day it got loose. Broke its chain and got out through a side door. Our dog was tied out on a long chain, since our back yard was unfenced at the time. The other dog attacked. My mother screamed and three or four neighbors came running (there's a good neighborhood for you). They brained the Shepherd with a shovel to make it let go of Brownie. It was put down, as a matter of course, and the owner neighbors were eager to pay the vet's bill, fearful of being prosecuted. They moved away a couple of months later. Our neighbors were actually ashamed of their dog. That seems to make them not typical of vicious dog owners in general, who always on the news seem to be as callous and clueless as Miss "Accidents Happen". [/QUOTE]
