That poor woman. I agree though, any dogs running in a group can do dangerous things. They become a pack then and old instincts come out.
I think it's crazy that this other dog has allowed to run free like that terrorizing people in a neighborhood. Where I live, if a dog is on your property harassing your livestock or family, you are allowed to shoot it. There is a leash law in our county and it's enforced if need be. All one has to do is call and the appropriate action will be done. I'm not one for shooting dogs just because, but sometimes I'd like to shoot the ignorant owners. I have a neighbor right now that is one of those. She lets her dogs (5 of them) loose all the time and one likes to come in our yard and tease my lab. My dog is on the underground fence and he'll stay very well. That dog runs in and out grabbing at my dog. Makes me mad. I told them though, that it's one thing for the dog to come and mess with my lab who's pretty friendly, but if it happens to get in my yard while my Dane is out, who is not friendly, then I am not responsible for what happens to their dog. I haven't seen it over here in about 2 weeks. We shall see though....
