I posted about this before-
A couple of weeks ago, my wife and I were walking with our Lab, past a rental house where new renters were moving in. They had three pit bulls, one of them broke away from one of the owners and attacked my Lab, who was on her leash. I kicked it off my dog, and informed the owner that if we were attacked again, a dog would be shot. They responded with profanity, and one of their kids followed us down the street, shouting obscenities at us.
I informed an attorney friend of mine, who I hunt with and who also is a dog owner. He sent a letter to the owner of the house, basically reminding him that he was opening himself to liability if his renters were harboring dangerous animals, and that he could also be in some jeopardy with his mortgage holder.
Guess what- the renters have since moved out, taking their dogs with them. Good riddance.
