Animal control officer just left and I was within my rights. I have called the neighbors to let them know what happened and they are fine with it.
Neighbors daughter who is in her mid 40's had come visiting for the holidays and brought her pit bull/german shephard mix. Neighbors hate daughters dog because the dog is mean and in the past bit neighbors dog. Well today wife was in our fenced back yard and the dog broke loose from the chain the dog was tied with and came after my wife, jumped the 5ft fence and wife had run into the shed outside. I heard the dog barking and my wife hollering and I went outside with my 12ga pump. Dog was trying to get into the shed to attack my wife and when I went out the back door, the dog came at me. I shot the dog in the face with a load of #4 buck that I keep loaded in the shotty. The dog went down but tried to get up and I give it another load to the chest and that was the end of the damn thing. Amazing what a load of #4 buck will do to flesh at 15 yards. I called 911 and told them what happened and they send the animal contol officer to the house. He took one look, and info from me and the wife, went up to the neighbors house and took pictures of where the dog had broken loose from the chain. He wrote the report and told me it was a justified shooting and gave me a copy of his report. He did tell me to take my camera and go up to the neighbors (by the way, none of them was home at the time) and take my own pictures of the dog's broken chain just in case. He did take the dogs carcass with him to have it tested for rabies. I called the neighbors on their cell phone and told them that I had to shoot the dog and why. So I will see what their daughter says when they get home. Neighbor said that daughter was having a fit I shot her dog. I told neighbor to tell her not to push it or she will get a ticket from animal contol and a lawsuit from me. Animal contol officer was mad at her for not restraing the dog with stronger chain, she used a cheap chain that was also rusted in a couple of places and he told me if she caused any problems let him know and he will cite her with a $500 ticket.
