I am a 27 year Deputy Sheriff and ride my bike daily. I live in the country with a couple neighbors.
Up until a month or less ago every ride started and ended with a full attack by one of my neighbors dogs.
I had spoke to him politely, then sternly then all out full blown cussing him and his girlfriend.
The attacks have been going on for years and I finally had it that day I blew my stack and cussed them up one side and down the other.
What did he do? He went to the Sheriffs Office and complained on me.
Now all these attacks that have happened over time i have been documenting them with cell phone photos. If I knew how to post pics on here I would show you quite a few.
So I contacted animal control and asked them what I need to do to stop this problem.
They said to send in each incident with photos and a brief description. My wife and i bombarded them with incidents.
They wrote him a couple of County ordinance tickets costing him next to nothing.
He finally done something with the dog and now it is not a problem.
So end of story....nope.
My wife has a licensed home daycare. He called in several false complaints causing the business to be investigated. Nothing was found during the investigation.
He also called the health department complaining of my 'faulty ' septic system. We were cleared by County and state.
So my wife calls the Sheriff demanding a investigation into these false accusations. He referred the case to the State Police.
The trooper came to my home and spoke to my wife and I.
He said there was not much he could do. He said he would talk to the prosecutor office.
He came back later and told us that the neighbor said "he was done" .
I asked the trooper what he meant by that? I then informed the trooper that my wife and I are victims of a crime and now we are being harassed by the dog owner and I expected the case to be sent to the prosecutor.
Hmmmmm
In other words good luck with dog attacks. I did this the way your supposed to do and nothing was done.
