A neighbor from down the street with whom I and most of my neighborhood are not on speaking terms has 2 dogs. One is a 5 year old boxer who he keeps indoors because on numerous occasions the dog (despite the invisible fence - probably doesn't replace the batteries in the collar) has gone after other dogs who are walked on a leash. The other one is a 13 year old white lab that they keep in the garage and is outside most of the time. She does not wear a collar and is covered in sores. She is a somewhat friendly dog, however not so much towards other dogs. She roams the neighborhood freely and on several occasions has almost been hit by cars. Last week she got into my neighbor's garbage, knocking the can over and pulling out the bags and eating whatever she could find. I constantly chase her from my yard.
My next door neighbor called the police last week about the situation because the 2 of us don't think the dog has had its shots in a long time, nor is it probably licensed. We both have dogs and are afraid to let our dogs walk around on our own lawns in fear of them contracting something from the other dog.
I feel sorry for the dog and don't want to see it harmed, but the owner is a real jerk. I almost hit the dog as it ran out into the street earlier. I think they don't care what happens to it since she is old. Do I call the SPCA and report it as animal cruelty? There is no point talking to the neighbor because when I complained about his boxer going after my dog 2 years ago, he on 2 occasions tried to run me down with his truck while I walked my dog. (we are talking major jerk).
