Heck, if I lived anywhere near him and had a high point from which to shoot an arrow with no fingerprints would accomplish it. Heart shot. No ballistics.theogt;2412386 said:
I admire that he says he would never hurt the dog. I really do. I also would not blame him if someone did and he had an alibi. His kid's safety is at stake with an animal that has already made one attempt.

Your welcome!!
This is also coming from someone who owns 2 dogs, and loves them to death. But if my daughter or son was attacked even by my own dog...I'd probably put him or her down.

Does your city have an animal services department? If so, just deal with them. Police tend to not do a whole lot when it comes to animals unless skin is broken. If skin isn't broken, they'll most likely just tell the owner to watch his dog.
Also, if you want to take out your frustrations on the other guy financially, every single time he lets that particular dog outside, you call animal services or the police and say it's barking. Eventually, they'll start writing citations.

Latest update:
Animal Control never called me back-figures. So I called them a week later and was told (get this) "I went to the house and saw the dog and it seemed friendly." I then asked him if they brought the dog up to him and he said yes. I then told him of course it will be friendly because the dog is in a situation where the owner is not threatened and the dog is not by itself. I can't believe an Animal Control officer wouldn't even know this.
So.......apparently he isn't going to do anything and he reiterated that if the dog got out again, to call them. Well duh, most places have a leash law so big deal. I can't believe I am fighting uphill in this whole scenario. So I went to the website of the Animal Control and found the following concerning their definition of a vicious animal:
VICIOUS ANIMAL: Not only an animal of a disposition to attack every person or animal it may meet, but includes as well an animal with a natural fierceness or disposition to mischief, as might occasionally lead it to attack human beings or animals without provocation. (1993 Code § 4-1; amd. Ord. 688, 6-14-1993; Ord. 777, 6-8-1998)
So according to the law, this animal has shown acts of aggression and I have witnesses to the attack on my daughter. Therefore it would lead one to believe that I may have a case that it is a vicious animal. It also states this according to the law, "5-6A-8: VICIOUS ANIMALS:
A. Prohibited: It shall be unlawful for any owner within the corporate limits of the city to harbor, keep or have possession of any vicious animal. "
And one more-"CONFINED ON THE PREMISES: That condition in which an animal is securely and physically confined and restrained on and within the premises of the owner by means of walls or fences or by rope, chain, leash or other device, of such strength and size as to physically prevent such animal from leaving such premises."
It seems that I may have a case if I can prove that this animal is indeed vicious according to the city's own interpretation of its law. As well as the fact that the owner has failed to keep the animal confined on premises. I'm not letting this just go away. If I have to spend $2-3k to resolve this, then so be it. Thoughts?

if you have the money...sure. I would write him a letter, tape it to his door, than send the letter to the police and animal control. Than keep one at your house stating if the animal comes on my property one more time and shows a sign of aggression i will protect my family by any means necessary.

how was it that the neighbors friend was able to get the dog and drive off with it. Seems that a pit would be after anybody that was not his owner. And why would the neighbors friend allow this to happen. A pit attacking a kid and an adult just protects the dog, Incredible.
Anyway, I can not believe that the owner of a dog would have a dog that would attack a child. I love my dog, but if I ever saw him go after anybody especially a child he would be gone.
My neighbor practices archery in his backyard. I would say get a target, position it toward your neighbors backyard, practice, practice, practice. Then when the animal comes out, accidently miss and hit the dog and end your miseries. If the owner comes out, just say "my bad".

Kill the dog and face the consequences before it hurts one of your kids. That's the ONLY thing to do IMO.

Dallas is only a couple hours away from you. Have you seen the progress on the new stadium? You can come down and spend Friday afternoon to Sunday night seeing the sites. Heck, I could even meet you and buy you a beer. We could even meet up at Chucky Cheese's with our kids. Do you have some one you trust that could check your dogs while you are gone? Maybe a friend or relative from another town?
