almost bit my other neighbor. ? I called the NYPD who took 20 minutes to come after my call (I called 3 times). What should I do? This owner is not someone who should be approached as he is not at all "neighborly". He acts as if it is funny when his dog gets out. I have 3 small children and 3 small dogs (Maltese). My husband wants to get a shotgun but I dont feel like that is the solution. He and another man on the block have conspired to "take the dog down" if it comes on either property again. If he shoots the dog, it will only bring more problems for the entire family. I called the ASPCA and got voicemail. We are putting up a fence around our property as the dog came into our yard 4 times today. Even though my husband threw bricks at it, the dog was still very aggressive and didnt seem the least bit afraid. What else should I do???
