Thank you and yes we keep all that in mind. I love dogs and don't want to hurt any, however, the owner does know how we feel. We live in a rural area and try to keep a good relationship with the two neighbors we have(one being my parents). We like to watch out for eachother, it's just this neighbor has two great danes and yes you would think they are harmless, not the case. He keeps them pinned up and away from interaction with people about twice a month he brings them in the yard while he is doing yard work and what happens is when he goes in the house and turns his back these dogs become aggressive. The attacked a pony we had and killed it, they attacked our black lab and killed him. This last incident was our yellow lab, (who won't hurt a flea). I don't want to ever resort to a law suit, you see I am in the insurance business and I don't want to have to go that route. Like I said earlier, he did pay for the vet bill the last time because I saw the attack take place, the first two times no one saw the attack, just the blood on the neighbors dogs and he washed them off and put them away before the authorities arrived.
Thanks for listening!
