I know you tried in the past to find out what the official report was and were denied that information. You might ask to meet with the official Humane OFFICER or Dog WARDEN - the Top Dog, so to speak . That person might be more inclined to give you details of the case that the office staff might be told not to release.

As for talking to him yourself - I dunno if that's such a good idea. If he actually suspects you're the one that reported him, he'll probably not welcome a discussion with you. If you could find a mutual friend - another neighbor - to act as a neutral party; you might get further towards actually SOLVING the problem of the dog abuse.

Good luck; but be cautious in your dealings with him.
