Liz, a thousand thanks for doing the research on the Jindo. I have discovered that I have been spelling it incorrectly, thanks to you.

The dogs pictured on this site are the exact dogs that are in our neighborhood in abundance. The white Jindo is the same as the one that is attacking other dogs. Isn't it a beautiful animal? Looks like one you would love to pet, right? The only problem is that you will lose your fingers!

The brown variety are more prevalent, but no less viscious. My other neighbors have two of them and they have been responsible for killing a cat when they got out. I have not been involved with that situation, but understand Animal Control has been at their home very frequently.

I wanted to allow my neighbors some space, but plan on talking to them tomorrow to see about starting a petition, at least to deal with the attacking dog.

My limited knowledge is that Koreans ignore our laws and do not license them, or give them the proper shots unless Animal Control follows through. I have seen Animal Control here often and have heard that they are checking door to door on licenses.

We can no longer just sit back and be "good neighbors" and not cause problems. These dogs must be controlled.
