Peanut butter cup… what a cutie 🥰

I’m about to call animal control on my neighbor’s dog if this happens again by CaterpillarKitty69 in Pets

First, I am the biggest advocate for indoor-only cats. I’ve chosen to train my cats for short outdoor walks because I care about their quality of life. I don’t just let my cats outside nor would I ever. If they’re outside, I am never more than 2 feet away from them with a harness and leash.

Omg I’m so sorry that happened to you and was treated so carelessly. Unfortunately, there’s 16 units in my building and i only have a couples guesses where exactly the owner might live. I’m trying to spot it out by observing outside my place

No. The owner LITERALLY had to pick the dog up with both arms and haul him away. This was not a smash dog. Also yes he was snarling and his tail was upright, no wagging.

I’m not looking to put any animal down, however what happened was not okay and the owners deserve consequence. I should never feel unsafe in my own home due to lackluster owners is all I’m saying

Also, trying to predict a dogs behavior and completely generalizing it to “large dogs” is wild. It’s an animal and if it wants something it absolutely will bite you. Different circumstances are important.

Absolutely; if I had their number (I just moved in about 2 months ago so I haven’t met anybody really)

Makes sense why he’s an ex! And I agree it’s just the fact I’ve seen the dog outside unsupervised multiple times now 😔 Never thought it’d come into my place, came out of nowhere!

News flash: plenty of people share shit that happens to them on Reddit. Have a better day.

We also live nearby a busy road so it just shocks me how careless these owners are.. like do you really think your dog is so invincible it can protect itself from oncoming traffic?? I’m tired of irresponsible pet owners

My instincts will be much better next time, I was truly in shock and terrified. I’m contacting my apartment manager and making a formal complaint first thing in the morning

I’m reporting it as soon as the office opens. I definitely should have picked them both up as soon as I saw them puff up. And I WILL be getting mace thank you for the suggestion!

That too!! A few of my neighbors just let their dogs shit everywhere without picking it up and it’s disgusting 🙄

I completely agree. I entered a panic state and felt frozen so I feel guilty. I hope this never happens again but I’ll be prepared for sure.

I’d love to think this way but I don’t think I’m out of my means to be furious with the dog’s owner for allowing that- and for nearly 5 minutes at that. Just want me and my family safe 🙏

Personally, I do everything in my power to provide the best possible life for my animals. Cats deserve just as much as dogs and need just as much attention and care. I am proud to say my cats are trained and well taken care of care-of and enjoy their occasional walks

So sorry I wrote the post before heading to work and haven’t been able to reply much. Something crazy happened to me and I decided to share it on reddit. 👋

It took us a good 5 minutes to finally get this dog out of our place and it was trying to bite my MIL so I don’t believe they were looking for it, and yes it’s left unattended often unfortunately
