What course of action would you take? Would you just let it go because it's not that big of deal and you don't really care? Or would you go talk to the dog's owner?
So I come home from work today and see this dog that I've seen wandering around the neighborhood with no leash or supervision constantly and he's shitting on our lawn. So I chase the dog away and I'm pissed because I think it's disrespectful and we also just moved in, so we don't yet have a shovel to pick it up. So I go to the neighbors house and they have no fence around their backyard and I guess just let him out whenever to wander. A woman answers the door and I explain the whole situation and she's just looking at me like "So what?" She says they always let him out to wander and no one complains. That's because people are spineless and afraid to confront someone about their inappropriate behavior. She says that if our dog got loose and shit on her lawn, she wouldn't care. I say that we wouldn't let our dog loose because we take responsibility for our dog and even if it did, we would pick up our dog's shit. She asks if we expect her to pick it up and we say yes, but she just blows that off and says we'll keep him on a leash from now on.
So my plan for next time is to catch the dog, take off his collar with I.D. tag and throw that away, and then call animal control. Fuck them and their dog. I probably wouldn't even think twice about smashing that dog's head in.
