my dog was poisoned :(

Cautionary note on the videotaping: when I said I'd had these situations, I was serious, and I did the videotaping. The police told me they could not use it under anycircumstances because the other party did not "agree to be taped"!! Consult the police first to see if it can be used.

Good luck!

So sorry to hear about your predicament. Hope that it never happens again. We think the neighbors poisoned our Bob about a year ago. Just seemed odd that they were out in their back yard (two boys - drug users and alcoholics) with a bunch of loud mouth friends and Bob was barking at them over the fence. Dan built the fence to try and separate them when the problems began. Bob "does" do a lot of annoying barking at them, but they taunt him and bark back - just exacerbating the situation. One day they were all out there and Bob was barking and we went out to bring him in and they were at the fence throwing something over. Don't know what it was - never found it, but Bob got violently ill. Vomiting, diahera , bloody uncontrollable bowels movements, dehydration. Had to take him to an emergency vet hospital overnight. So now we have to watch him real close and just take him out on a leash to do his business in his "own" backyard when they are out and partying in their backyard. About the video-taping... I'm not sure that is true everywhere. In PA, you can video anyone in public (not in their home) and use as evidence to support a case or claim you are making. The only situation which is as you describe is "you cannot tape record anyone" on the phone without telling them that they are being tape recorded.
