One of the few times I have lived in suburbia there was a mongrel dog that would chase the kids, snap at thwir bicycles, jump at them etc. Mrs and I rode past one day and it had a go at her. Did some asking around and found it belonged to a guy who worked for one of our subbies who lived a few hundred metres away. Went and talked to him about the dog and what it did. He laughed it off and said it is just a big puppy, wouldn't hurt anyone. I disagreed but he wouldnt listen. A few weeks later the thing jumped at me from behind some bushes a couple of km from home. Then I saw a couple of kids on the side of the road, one was pretty smashed up with gravel rash and bruises and the dog had jumped on his bike and sent him into the middle of the road. Waited with the kids while parents arrived. Dog was quite aggressive and came over several times. Once the kids were sorted I dragged the dog home, told the owner what had happened. Owner did not give a shit. That afternoon the dog was out chasing bikes and cars again. So I rang the council. Old mate turned up at my place a week or so later threatening to knock my block off because the council inspector had watched the dog and seen it in action. Then the inspector went to the owner and advised that the dog was a menace that had to be confined to its yard and not allowed out unless on a leash. The owner was slapped with a fine (kid's parents had also complained). A week or so later the dog was out again. Council impounded the dog and more fines. I was fronted at work and threatened again. Dumb shit thought it was me causing all the trouble. Anyway dog disappeared. I suspected that he shot it but he claims that he had to take it to a mate's farm because locked up all day it started going for his kids too. Complete arsehole. Not the dogs fault.
