my neighbors have basically killed three dogs. Their dogs.
The first was Ginger, an adorable golden retriever who was hit and killed by a car due to complete lack of training and no collar or fence (not even electric!)
The second was Misty, a dalmation they put down because they were tired of her smelly ears (she had some sort of infection, I think).
Then the third, and most recent, was Shilo. They got her from a rescue in Indiana where she had been taken from an abandoned warehouse. She was starved there and out of 5 dogs the rescue got from there, only her and her mom made it.
Once they (neighbors) got Shilo home, they didn't do any training whatsoever with her. They just fed her and made her very very fat. She'd snapped at me more then once when I was over there, but I didn't really pay attention to it.
But apparently it had gotten really bad. Sometime earlier this week she bit Mrs. T's hand and broke it. I guess Shilo was just playing and was really excited and things just got out of hand. They were supposed to have Shilo put down yesterday, but now they think she might have rabies so the animal control is watching her for 10 days. If the T's had just taken her to the vets regularly and gotten her vaccinated (not to mention trained her) Shilo would still be here.
On top of that, the T's want to get a great dane puppy.
These are the people whom I thought were neglecting their bunnies. They left them for a week without food/water, and cleaned their cages maybe twice a year. (seriously 8 inches of compressed poo) They also let the bunnies breed and have babies constantly...did I mention they're kept outside, covered with a tarp, even when they're having babies or have young babies?

Do you have any ideas on what I can do to keep the T's from getting a great dane puppy?
ARGGGGG I really needed to tell someone, and you guys always listen.
