Op,
I am happy to hear that your dog is aright however if you see a dog running free report it to animal control and provide the address of the owner if possible as all dog owners need to be responsible for their dogs.
If a warning fails to catch the attention of the owners, the first time the following summons will do the trick. If legal in your state then carry pepper spray whenever you walk the dog s that will immediately subdue an aggressive.
Quoting: SilverPatriot I can't use pepper spray. Sheba has asthma, and I have Allergy Induced Asthma/COPD. One whiff, and we are in trouble. I do call when i see a loose dog. The Pitts that attacked Sheba came out of the side gate of their yard. Someone didn't shut it. Their back gate was padlocked shut. A spray bottle filled with ammonia might work. Or one of those bazooka water guns ? If you know of neighbors nearby who would also like to curtail this kind of thing, perhaps a group of you could visit the owners of those dogs and express your displeasure in a non confrontational manner and make them aware of possible legal consequences such as fines, lawsuits/judgements/lien attachments. They might not have much money, but a lien attached to a vehicle could get their attention if this is possible in your state. Give them something to think about.
