I hate loose dogs. Most of my neighbors just let thier dogs run loose all the time. Often without tags or id. The neighbors have lost one dog due to it being hit. But that does not stop them from letting the two left, a weim and a mixed breed run around free. The weim is aggressive, hunts rabbits and kills them in my yard as well as use my property as it's personal bathroom. Which pisses me off because they do not worm their dogs, nor are they vetted. So I have to be careful and try to keep Kody from eating or walking through any presents and picking up parasites which costs me more money. If I could catch them, I'd have the warden pick them up. Perhaps if they had to pay a fine several times they'd do something about it. But they are not the only neighbors that let their dogs run loose. It's the country, dogs are supose to run loose.
I've also had a springer spaniel get lost in the middle of the night, find my porch and proceed to howl and bark ever 30 minutes for 8 hours till animal control finally came and got it. I did call the owners several times, but no response was ever given.
It's hard to get through to owners who don't want to change, some never do.
