Poor Drake! A fight, the vet, the staples I hope you're Ok too..I'm with you in the tears department, you want to help but hate to see them struggle and be so unhappy Best you took him though, he could have gotten a severe infection or worse.
Your neighbor sounds like a real nice guy Takes responsibility for his pet, a real gentleman, wants to keep peace in the neighborhood, and urgently wants to make sure this doesn't happen again! It's the principle! Sue the pants off him. A scare will not be enough, He just doesn't care. This is not like me to think like this, but if another dog hurt my Cody, who is on lead, roped in our private back yard..WELL!!
Ok, I'll shut up now.. as long as Drake is OK.
