Reply to comment by YolksOnU in Advice after dog attack by MeanFluffyBunny

I’ve spoken with the sheriff today, he basically said to shoot the dog if it comes onto my property or if it runs at me off leash in the road. Still waiting for animal control to show up, they are 5 hours late…

I am going down the civil suit road if he refuses to pay up ($1100 for the first vet visit, will need two more visits and possibly another surgery). I have a feeling he won’t tho. The sheriff also advised me to handle all contact with this man through animal control and certified mail, not to step foot on his property.

They won't. People like that don't do what they're supposed to do in any way shape or form, which is why they have a dog that attacks other dogs running around at large to begin with.

Don't wait for them to do the right thing, make them do the right thing. Because they won't otherwise. Don't even give them the opportunity to disregard this.

Sound advice from law enforcement at least.
