Letting Your Dogs Run Loose In The Neighborhood

It is pretty foolish to let your dogs run loose in the neighborhood. You are still responsible for what your dogs do, even if you aren't there when it happens. It is also pretty foolish to meddle in affairs that are not your own. These cases often end the life of the dogs when it is all finished.

If you have a neighbor who does this, it is a mistake to go and confront them yourself. You are unqualified to deal with this, and it could all backfire on you. Call the appropriate authority for your area. 

I remember a similar story, but in a different context. A man and woman were fighting. An observer went in to break it up. The man and woman then attacked the observer, the observer killed the other man, and so the observer went to prison and the dead man went to the grave. The fight was wrong and out of control. The observer got in between a fight that wasn't his. It sounds great to go and be a hero, but the reality is you might end up a zero. No one wins.

I heard of another case. A woman was running away from a man, screaming. An observer, assuming the man who was chasing her was going to significantly harm her (use your imagination; I don't use the actual terminology to avoid being censored by this platform). So, he terminated the chasing man. Turned out the woman was a prostitute. The chasing man was an undercover police officer. The observer went to prison. The police officer went to the grave. I don't know what happened to the woman. 

Letting your dogs run loose is a set up for a life changing type of trouble. If someone is seriously harmed, you might not only pay a lot of money, but pay with your freedom or even your life. If you are the observer, you might also get in so deep that you can never get out of what happens, maybe for the rest of your life. If it gets really bad, the dogs won't ever see the light of day again. Lots of money will go to the victims, if they survive, but money can't reverse whatever happened. 

Obey the laws. Call the authorities. Stay out of trouble.

Plan accordingly.
