About a month ago, some horrible neighbors moved in next to us with 3 pit bulls...a lady and a guy. Their first night there, their dogs tied out in the yard barked all night. The next morning, one of them viciously attacked a neighbor's dog (she happened to be walking by) because the idiot lady let it out of the car with no control on it. $1,700 vet bill. That went to animal control court ...
