If our dogs are barking, we are out there immediately (if we happen to be in the kitchen looking out the window) if not sooner to corral them back into the house, so the guy doesn't have a leg to stand on as far as I'm concerned. He's just a jerk.

We have a "neighbor" that lives on the next block, that when Jessie got out and was gone all night, she came out to the road as I was driving by and told me that she would keep an eye out for her because she knew how she would feel if her dog got out. Her mom was the woman who called me about Smokey thinking that he was our Tobey. We actually do have some nice people in this addition, it just happens that we moved in next door to Jerk #1.
