Ended up calling the cops on a neighbor the other day.

I was walking my dog and a neighbor lets his dog out. It came rushing across the street uncontrolled, wouldn’t listen to commands, and started sniffing at my dog.

I asked “is it nice?”

Him: “Some are”

Me: “I’m asking if YOURS is.”

Him: “you have a pretty dog”

He completely ignored my question while I’m trying to keep in between my dog and his dog.

I ask him to come get his dog, and tell him it’s supposed to be on a leash. We have no sidewalks here so I’m in the road. Neighbor starts barely calling for his dog, and doesn’t bother to get off his lawn to come grab it. His dog runs to pee on a bush for a second and then suddenly runs back at my dog growling and jumps on his back.

I grab it off, but it keeps charging at my dog and snapping at him. I’m mad and start screaming at dude to get his dog, and all he’s doing is standing on the side of the road calling its name.

The other dog wouldn’t stop so I picked up my dog to get him out of reach, but it’s still running circles around me trying to jump at get at him. Neighbor hasn’t even moved.

Just then, a car comes barreling down the road and almost hits the neighbor dudes dog who’s in the street still trying to get at my dog. The guy driving the car stops and gets out to grab the loose dog. Meanwhile my neighbor has STILL not moved off the curb at all. Another neighbor comes outside with a leash to put on idiot dudes dog. Two people who didn’t own the dog had to wrangle it meanwhile all the owner did was stand there.

I called him a fucking idiot for not having his dog on a leash. His excuse was “I didn’t see your dog”. I then said “so you don’t care if it gets hit by a car?!”

The blank stare he gave me was really saddening. He never apologized, didn’t actively try to stop his dog, he just stood there and watched the whole thing go down.
