Just to let everyone know - I would not put Jake to sleep, because of the mean dogs. However, I feel bad for him, because he is so afraid of the other dogs.

Almost everyone in my neighborhood has complained about these dogs & their owners. Sometimes I feel sorry for them (the dogs) because they just don't get taken care of. I can hear them crying winter & summer becaue they are kept outdoors and are too hot / cold. Plus as I said they are constantly having puppies - this summer one of the little puppies came into my yard. My nephew was there and he was thinking about taking the puppy home with him, so he could have a better home.

The police have tried doing something about the dogs, and the neighbors have been fined several times, but pay $5.00 amonth on the fines.

This family has 3 small boys (all under 3 years of age) living with them. The night I had Jake out for a walk & their dogs attacked him, all 3 of the little boys were standing out in the street, probably not more than 4 feet away. It's just unbelievable to me that they would even want these dogs.

I try to keep Jake indoors as much as I can, but I do put him out on the porch when I leave, because he eats the cat food if I'm not there to catch him. He is a pretty good old dog & I have never seen a dog who's a bigger baby.

A petition is a good idea - I've wondered before if the neighbors couldn't do something like that. Thanks everyone.
