My son was bitten in the face a few weeks ago by a neighbors dog who lives a few houses down.The dog is sometimes chained up but that day she was loose and ran up as my son was bending over to pick up a basketball and just attacked him.He recieved three stitches above his eye.
The lady who lived there seemed concerned and came to the house to check on him and said that was the second time the dog bit a child so they are going to put it asleep.
A three days later the dog is running around loose again.
The police or animal control did nothing more than find out if she had its rabbies shots.
I'm thinking maybe tossing it a poison burger.
