Neighbour suspected in attack on dog (2 stories) UPDATE #14

[Daisy and Delilah]

I really hope alot of people read this story and take notice to the outcome. Negligence is never good in any situation. People have to take responsibility.

The guy that beat poor Bo, will probably be sent to anger management classes and that's it.
I can't stop thinking of how hard he had to hit him to inflict that much damage. OMG!! It's making me sick!!

We all know that dogs bark from time to time. What I don't understand is why owners think it's ok to allow their beloved pet to disturb neighbors for hours on end.

If the owner of this poor pupster was a responsible owner in the first place, he/they would have taken steps to quiet the dog. The neighbor doing the damage to the dog SHOULD BE BLAMED and punished FOR THE DAMAGE, but I think the dog owner's negligence needs to be addressed as well.

The poor dog. I have a neighbor with this breed of dog and yes, their dog barks when someone walks by the house. He does bark loudly and for as long as someone is passing by. He spends a fair amount of time outside, but is primarily an inside dog. As far as I know, no neighbor has ever complained.

I would have been on the phone to the local authorities every fifteen minutes if that dog lived next to me and barked for hours on end. I would never have harmed the dog. I suppose I would have asked the owner to quiet the dog before calling the authorities. I am not sure about that......

I wish dog AND cat owners were always responsible, but that is unrealistic, at best.

Here's hoping the dog's owner wakes up and keeps the dog inside and/or spends time with the dog so that it is not alone and barking. Maybe finding this pup a new home would benefit everyone.
