Here I go again.

Regardless if animal control wrote a report and cited the people, you should have called a litigation lawyer.

The other dog came into your house and attacked your dog. And your mom was injured. In hindsight...pictures! Even though rabies shots aren't as bad as they used to be, they're about $3000 a pop and that includes the ER visit and all hospital fees. I've had them, trust me. I'm glad your mom didn't need them.

My neighbors were cited 2-3x for noise etc. even before my attack. There is also a "one bite" dog law in Pa., so since there's been no proof of past bites, they got their dogs back. But no more doggie door and they must be out with the dogs all the time..uhh..not. Think how I feel!

I don't blame the dogs, I blame the owners. And it's obvious citations, guilt in criminal court and a major civil lawsuit by me, mean nothing. They don't get it.

Sorry to rant..I'm so angry for you. I know exactly how you feel. It's not fair. We are victims of other people's stupidity.I live in fear everyday and still have bad dreams every night. I guess all I can say is, just be careful.I'm really sorry.
