What would you do?


Theres this dog with a collar thats running loose all around my neighborhood. This dog ran all the way to my front door and barked at me while I was leaving my house.

When I came home, I saw another neighbor trying to shoo away the dog too.

Should I call animal control or just do nothing?

I mean the dog was barking like mad when it confronted me as I was trying to get to work. Im not walking towards a dog angrily barking at me.

What if his owner fell down a well and he needed your help to rescue him?

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Animal control is likely to euthanize the dog, so I'd hold off on calling them.

No they arent. At least not immediately. Theyll try to find the owner if it has one.

Stop harassing me please.

Is it aggressive? Do you recognize the dog? I suggest calling animal control. Please dont call the police for obvious reasons.
Its aggressive in that it barks a lot. But thats what dogs do I wouldnt walk towards it with the amount it barks.

I do not recognize the dog.

Its simple.

You dont approach the dog.

Kneel down and talk to it in a friendly tone.

It may take awhile but most dogs will eventually come closer once they get over whatever is stressing them out.

Just dont stand up or move closer until it comes to all the way to you.

Thats how you do it if you were so inclined.

If you live in LA, I highly recommend Hope For Paws. https://www.youtube.com/@hopeforpaws/featured

They rescue strays. Only problem is, I've no idea how to contact them.

Just because it's a pitbull doesn't mean it's going to attack people.
