I live in Texas.
I live with my mother who rents a moblie in a small community. We have a dog in our back yard which is tied up. The dog is a dalmation.
Today a 4 year little girl who lives next door stuck her hand through the fence to pet our dog, that we have had for 3 years old in the same place and for the 1st time the dog bit. The bite did break skin.
The parents of the little girl are treating to call the police, we have agreed to move the dog away from their area of the fence.
The dog has also had all of his shots, and has never acted violently before this. But has since snapped at a couple of people today, inculding the father of the little girl.
We have no signs up saying beware of dog, but these people have touched the dog many times and has never had anything happen to them before.
Is there anything they can do to make us get rid of the dog, or is there anything we should do to insure we are able to keep the dog...
Please let me know.
