unfortunately our ignorant neighbors let their dogs out. this morning while hilary was taking the dogs for a walk, 2 dogs off leash attacked moose and bandit. it was very scary. she tried to turn and go the other way but they came from behind and it was too late. moose has 10 lesions on his face and head. thankfully none of them were puncture wounds. bandit held his own and got right in their protecting his "brother." the blood on bandit was transfer from the other dogs. we were only about 6 houses away from ours and the neighbors yard that it happened in heard hil screaming and struggling and came out with a broom stick. we shudder to think of what would have happened if it had continued much longer without his help. as the dogs were running back into their backyard, animal control was pulling up. someone had already called about the dogs attacking a cat. we took pictures, took moose to the vet for documentation purposes, and filled out a dangerous dog affidavit. we are very lucky and reminded about how important it is to have all dogs in a secure backyard and on leash. we may start to carry pepper spray to prevent this from happening again :( both dogs are acting very normal and have received some extra treats today :)
btw-animal control could not take the dogs that attacked since they were back in a secure yard.
