John Wright If you have a neighbor who is endangering the neighborhood and you have tried to be civil, ROAD TRIP! It's legal to walk around your property dragging a sausage on a string anytime you feel like it. It could leave a trail to some tasty groceries inside of a live trap. ( dog haters like John are trapping family pets and then taking them on a "ROAD TRIP" which is their way of saying kill and dump?)

This morning, I went outside to feed the sheep and heard the neighbors' great danes barking in a frenzy.. But the sheep weren't cowering over by the opposite side of the pasture and my Wife said "look, the sheep aren't afraid of them anymore." I said, "it's because they aren't after the sheep." The dogs were not near the fence and I noticed, through the trees, that they had something bayed up in the road. Then I noticed it was a man. I knew instantly who it was. There is a man who lives alone, to the north of us, and when his truck breaks down, runs out of gas or he runs out of money, he walks. I hopped in the truck and tore up the driveway, down the dirt road and sure enough, the 4 great danes had him bayed over by the side of the road circling, barking and menacing him. I have already spoken with the owner twice about these dogs running in a pack. They have already knocked two people down and hurt them. Anyway, I chased them off, took my neighbor back home, jumped his truck off, went back home, fed the sheep and went to work.....late.

  • Lesley Karen Luscombe Awful. I don't like any SINGLE dog of any kind out on its own, let alone a pack of large dogs like Great Danes. Can you speak to an Animal Control Officer, and the owner again? Your poor neighbour really needs to do something pro-active as well. This is how a preventable tragedy occurs, otherwise.

    Thank you for helping your neighbour in need.

  • Wayne Webb Lesley, I sent the neighbor a text this morning. This was his response "I have 2 dogs once again Wayne. Also my wife just left the house and let my two out. They have not ever will bit anyone. I understand you hate dogs. I'm not nor ever will I keep them pined up."

  • Lesley Karen Luscombe So he's saying HE only owns TWO of the Danes? So one wonders where the other pair are coming from. He sounds an idiot; doesn't he understand that the FIRST time his 2 or 4 dogs 'bite' could end in a tragedy? Honestly, these people.

  • Carol Ashley He missed the point if you told him his 2 danes and his 2 danes friends had the neighbor held up on the side of the road. So he believes they wont bite OK But he needs to control his 2 or 4 danes from bullying people. One day when someone dosent step in, they will do much worse. with 4 they are bouncing that energy off of each other and if one decided to attack, the rest may follow. When it happens again I hope a video from a cell many convince him...

  • Christy Cornell Both you and the man who was cornered by the dogs need to report it to animal control. If AC won't take a report, call the police and report it to them. Ask the police for a copy of the report and them take the copy of the police report to the AC SUPERVISOR. if nothing happens after that, I'd call the local newspaper and ask them to send a reporter out to do an interview concerning citizens being in danger from vicious dogs and AC not doing their jobs.

  • Christy Cornell Those dogs are CLEARLY dangerous at this point. Not a question of if someone is gonna get bitten, only a question of when. And if these dogs end up killing, it's a case of an irresponsible owner letting them run loose and not understanding what his dogs are capable of. THIS is why, as Great Dane lover, I WANT all Great Danes regulated with BSL specific to containment, owner capability, breeding restrictions and mandatory insurance ( I have it, why aren't other mastiff dog owners being responsible?) . With the proper owners, these dogs would have never reached this point of being dangerous, but after reaching this degree of aggressiveness, these dogs are a danger to society and I would not trust them not to attack even if the owner started taking better care of them or sent them to a trainer. Good dogs ruined. People and other animals are at high risk for death.

  • Laurie Anne Find out what the laws are in your community. If dogs running at large is illegal, have AC cite him. The guy confronted by the pack of dogs should report it. Be careful. Your neighbor may be a little nuts, and is being defiant and uncooperative by calling you a dog hater. Most unfortunate he does not comprehend a pack of dogs of any breed is unstable. He can't properly care for one Dane let alone 4. Good luck, stay safe. Maybe advise walking neighbor to carry bear spray.

  • Amber A Maclin From my experiences great Danes are great at putting on a show. Usually they scare off pretty easily. So I wouldn't have shot the dogs. May be fired a warning shot by then they would have ran off

  • Wayne Webb It is illegal and dangerous to discharge a firearm wiothin so many feet of a public road. I yelled at them and they quickly ran away so I didn't have to.

  • Earl Upham You may use a firearm to shoot any animal who is killing or physically attacking any domestic animal or human. Packs of dogs are never a good thing. I worked with a man who years ago was building a house on some acreage and he told me one day he and his teenage some were walking on the road of their property when they spotted a group of dogs following them along the tree line and slowly moving down closer to the road. His some found a good sturdy large limb and sure enough they made a move toward them and the lead dog lunged into the air toward the man and his son knocked him out of the air and they all ran off. Always watch out for packs of dogs.

  • Wayne Webb The same "pack dynamic" which governs wolf behavior, is present in groups of dogs as well.

  • Earl Upham Like humans there are leaders and there are followers and unfortunately with dogs the smaller, weaker, less aggressive dogs will pack up with a more adventurous and aggressive dog and will participate in the "PACK" activities, which unfortunately may lead to an attack on some animal or person.

  • Christy Cornell Amber, I've owned Great Danes since the late 80's. Many are exactly like you describe, but when there's a pack situation or even just two dogs, all bets are off. They will react off of each other and can sometimes work themselves into attacking when they normally wouldn't if alone. A two Dane situation is bad enough, but a 4 Danes situation is deadly serious. IMO, this is EXACTLY why many larger breeds (like mastiffs) need regulation.

  • Bonny Thomas Lee Never thought of great Danes in this context..they are indeed very large dogs..some large breeds ..Newfoundlands,Bernmese Mt Dogs, seem to be very "laid back"not so sure about St Bernards as to biting history..now if they bring a well martini..I am definitely a fan.

  • Sonya Del Rio Cerezo It really burns me up when I see people who are irresponsible pet owners, if you choose to own a dog, it's your job to make sure your dogs don't disturb the peace or run around loose. It's certainly not the job of others to have to watch out for/be disturbed by the pet you chose to get.

  • John Wright Ever seen a live trap?
    Where the animal walks in grabs the bait and a door slides down. 
    I built one several years ago and ended up giving it to a friend to catch hogs. 
    If you build one that a couple of guys can easily load into a pickup you can take them for a pleasant drive to a pound in another county before they open in the morning and tie them to a tree or the front door or whatever. Anyone should have the right to remove an unwanted animal from their property and your not obligated to take it anywhere specific.
