Warning: Don't read if you don't like animal violence.

There's a neighbor who lives 2 houses down from mine who owns 3 dogs. One dog is a german shepperd and the other three are pit bulls. The 2 pitballs are extremely vicious, which makes me suspect they were breeded and train for violence. My neighbors don't have a fence around their house and they do not keep their dogs on the leash. They let the dogs roam free up and down the street. Now, I have a small shelty mix who is one of the most gentle dogs you'll ever meet. For a while the neighobrs dogs had been turning over our garbage, breaking stuff on our lawn, causing disturbances, etc. This one day I let my dog out on the leash and I went back inside to do homework. A few moments later I heard all these dogs barking, so I got up and looked out my window. My neighbors dogs (the 2 pit bulls and the german shepperd) were seriously mawling my dog. I ran outside and started yelling at the dogs, but that didn't stop them. Ok, I don't like violence towards animals. If I know it's going to happen on TV, I'll change the channel. At the same time, I'm not about to let these dogs mawl my dog to death. So I ran up and kicked one of the dogs in the stomach. It turned on me and jumped up and bit down onto my arm. It had sharp teeth so it broke skin, and blood started going everywhere. Another one of them knocked me to the ground somehow and I was holding it by the neck and it was snapping at me. If I let go it would bite my neck or something. I threw the dog off me and stood up. THe other dog (one of the pit bulls) started growling at me. My brother was playing baseball the day before and he left the bat on the ground. I picked up the bat and cracked the dog across the face as it jumped at me. The german sheppard ran at me, but I didn't have enough time and it bit down on my leg and dragged me to the ground. There was a stick on the ground so I grabbed that and...well...stabbed the dog in the eye. That dog and the other pitbull backed off and went running down the street and then the other one followed. I went an inspected my dog and she had cuts all over her body, her leg was broken and bleeding everywhere, and she was spitting up blood. I took my dog inside and called my dad and told him to come home. THat's when my door bell rang. I went to the door and it was the owner of the dogs. She stars screaming her head off with "What the (bleep) did you do? My dog has a (bleeping) stick in it's eye and the other's skull is broken!" and I just stood there like "they started it." and she said "I'm calling the police and you're going to get arrested for this!" She went back down to her house and soon my a cop came to the house. I thought it was good because obviously we were the victims. I mean, look at the facts. My dog was on a leash, they weren't. My dog didn't attack, they did. I'm bleeding on my arm and leg, but then again so were they. I walked out of my house confidently and the police guy goes "I'm (i forget his name) and I'm the chief of police." and I said something like "Good because these dogs just attacked me and my dogs" and then he surprised me with "those dogs are mine..." He let me get away with it because he knows that we are the innocent party, but he never did anything to help the situation. The dogs still come up and cause disturbances. My dog is fine. She spent the night at the hospital, as did I. I had to get stitches in my arms and my leg.

One of the neighbors dogs were on my lawn as I got home. It was up against the door and barking at my dog through the glass door.

This problem has to be solved somehow. We can't go to the police because the guilty party is protected.

Any suggestions?
 
Don't leave your house???Sorry,maybe yout Dad should try talking to your neighbours..saying that your family is scared to get out and be bitten by their dogs..I hope yu and your dog are better now..especially your dog😉
 
Do you have like dog wardens or something that can come and take them when there roaming the streets or call the Rspca and say there being mistreated!!!

Get better soon 😀
 
Im sorry man, but thats frickin sick. stabbing a dog in the eye? Man. you should file a report with another officer (if possible). See if your able to get the dogs 'put down'. If theyre as mean and as bashed up as you say, they need to be put down. Hope this helps...that would have to blow. ouch!
 
I'd say your best bet is to call in the ASPCA...there has to be some kind of protection for those dogs that are being trained to fight! Ever watch the show on animal planet, Animal Cops, or Animal Precinct? Okay maybe I am the only one who watches animal planet lol...BUT they have arrested people who train animals to fight! I'm sure animal police would be more than happy to do the same thing for you!

Hope I was of some help!
 
Zander - these dogs are big strong dogs. If I let the dog get at my throat or at my face, the way it was snapping at me, I probably wouldn't be here. As I said before, I am the biggest dog lover you'll meet, but I wasn't about to let those dogs hurt me and my dog. It was self defense.

Ana - they are really hostile people. my mom tried to talk to her about it and my neighbor threatened her with a bat.

Tamuril - I've seen that show. I thought it was in Florida now so the people wouldn't be able to help me.

Akasha - that will probably be my next course of action.
 
Parker, I think you did the right thing, I myself MIGHT have killed a dog, but the eye... man smart thinking, but still eww.
I'd definatly kick the crap out of any dog that was attacking mine.
 
Oh, I thought you meant it as I'm a cruel person or something. Sorry.

Another insident. Stephanie (not Tru_Davies at BB, another Stephanie) and I were going down my street. It's not my street, it's not the dogs street, it's a public street. So, we were going down the part of the street by my neighbors house. Stephanie was on the bike and I guess one of the tires made a noise, but the 3 dogs ran out from behind some trees and knocked her off the bike. I started yelling my head off at the dogs and maybe they recognised me as the guy that hurt them before, and they ran off.
 
Naw, there are different cops doing that sort of animal stuff all over the country, its just the show that goes other places 😉

And anyway I wasn't specifically talking about that, just making an example.
 
Oh. I thought there was just police for animals on the TV shows. huh...
 
I carry a pocketknife with me at all times. not saying its the best idea or the smartest, but Im ready to defend myself....even though its the smallest size ever.

but that pepper spray idea is pretty good. get the dogs right between the eyes and theyre down.
 
that's why I got the dog in the eye. it cant attack if it cant see me. my friend has pepper spray she can probably lend me.
 
They should be put to sleep

I know i was attacked by 2 rott weilers when i was 7 and was in the hospital for a week and while i was in the hospital i got the news they had put the dogs to sleep...

If anyone is attacked by a dog and blood is drawn that is a big sign saying put them to sleep cause if they taste blood once their animal insticts are gonna wanna do it agian...

I say try to get a law suit agianst the woman and take it to the courts have the Doctors who stiched you up and the vet who looked after your dog testify cause in the end you'll probley win...Just hope the woman doesn't say the same thing the owner of the rott weilers that attacked me said "OH they were jsut playing!"

Good luck with the thing and hope you feel better
 
Tamuril - I used to, but sometimes while sitting in the car it used to poke me in the ass so I got rid of it lol.

Angels baby - they have a lot of pull in this town. that's why we haven't done any legal action yet.

Well you should also go around to your neighbores see if they seen what happened or see if the womans dogs have tried to start trouble with some of the other neighbores but you should still win the fight cause you could also rent a video camera and record the dogs being vicious and how they have no fence and are allowed to roam all over........ but most likely if you have the doctors and the vet testify and hopefully some neighbores seen and they'll testify usually the person wins...
 
We'll probably do that. I hope I don't have to wear nice clothes to go to a court case. :-/
 
You will find that having "pull" these days doesn't mean what it used to....especially in cases such as this, where lives are always in potential danger.

Angels Baby101 is correct, you and your family need to muster your forces......collect as much testimony and evidence as you can.......use a video cam, get an animal agency involved, maybe even get one of those TV news stations involved......anything and everything you can do to strengthen your case.

Don't allow the fact that this guy is a cop deter you and yours from what needs to be done. Hold your ground.
This situation can only escalate if something is not done NOW. As has already been mentioned here, these animals will have a taste for blood now. Somebody will end up seriously maimed...if not outright killed.

Do the right thing, Mr. Parker.
