OK, Short but not so sweet...
I have a big dog and a little dog. The little one never goes out of the yard so I don't put her on a leash. I keep the big one on a leash. I took them out in the backyard to go to the bathroom. The medium size dog from two houses over came running over barking directly at my large dog and me. He stopped right in front of us and started barking. When I didn't see the owner coming to get the dog, I became a little nervous so I pulled on my dog's leash so we could go back inside. Before I knew it, the two were fighting. The medium size dog didn't die until the next morning after a surgery. The problem is that the owner is harassing me and threatening all sorts of things about my dog including a petition to 'put my dog down'. But...I was in my own backyard. My dog was on a leash, theirs was not and came into my yard. I realize this is very tragic because I am a huge dog lover and I am sooo very sorry about their dog. But now I am fearful of what they can do to my dog or me for that matter. PS. I should mention that since that day, I have gotten an estimate on getting a fence for my backyard to protect my dogs and me as well as outsiders.
Help me, please.
