Two neighborhood dogs running at large killed my cat. My cat 'Bones' was a very docile animal. He would come when I called his name. He would go outside to go potty. Than right back inside to lay on my bed.
Here's the story: These two dogs that my family and neighborhood kids who have had run ins with before. Came in my yard and attacked my cat. My teen son seen it happen. One dog ran off, the other turned on my son and started growling and coming towards him. My son through the knife he had at the dog. The dog yelled and ran off. Less than five minutes later a neighborhood kid came over and was telling us he was being chased by the same dogs down the street.
I called animal control to report it. My cat died while I was talking to animal control. 45 minutes I called animal control back and asked where they were at and if they could give me a time when they were going to show up. I was given no such time. So, I called my father in law. Who in turned and called the local sheriff's office. The local sheriff's office sent an officer over. He talked to my father in law. Than went to where the dogs live at. I was told to call the animal control within an hour if they haven't shown up. Because the sheriff's office wants to talk to them as well. About these dogs terrorizing the neighborhood.
My husband tried calling the animal control over the weekend on these same dogs. But was told to call Monday because no one was in to take his report. I am so mad and upset right now. I have been crying my eyes out. My cat I took in as a feral when he was nothing but skin and bones on death's door. Everyone thought he was going to die. But I was able to save him with my love and bring him back to health.....only to loose him to these two vicious dogs roaming the streets.
It is against the law to allow dogs to run the streets in my area. I want something done..Something more than just having the last memory of my cat dieing in my arms after this attack.

Sorry about Bones.
Not funny, I know, but you've not met my shiftless cats. I'd trade either of them for a Chinese dinner any day.
I also agree with contacting a lawyer. If you find out whose dogs they are, or if the city doesn't act on it today, you have a case.
Good Luck with it. Sorry I can't help more.
i am so sorry for you...........

I talked to my father in law and he says to just wait and see what happens with animal control. To not get a lawyer yet. As he has delt with having a vicious dog put down before. That those dogs are vicious and needs put down. That if they don't show up tonight. That we will bury the cat so no other animal can get him.
thing you could do is to contact your Congress person.
I know of people who were in that situation and they
called thier Congress person The last I knew of, your
Congress person was a woman and that was 2004.
Check this out my friend, that's what they are for to
help the people what ever the matter could be.
The fact that it turned on your son, in my opinion, would be justification for killing the dog(s).
She says they have them and she will keep everyone updated. A lot of you must have missed this post.
If anyone knows anyone who might have a story they want to place in the book; please send me an e-mail and I will send them the information on the book. Or send them this link: http://www.geocities.com/trampolineone/survive3/srv601.htm
