people next to me & they cannot or will not keep them up. Christine
was afraid to say anything to them about Amy, so my wife went there last
night about 9 p m told them what dogs had done. I have on numerous
occasions had to catch them because they were loose. So we told
neighbors ( who , speak little english etc. ) we were calling dog pound
if they got out again. I am getting owner of property name for Christine
because I think he can be held responsible for tenants actions, don't
know but will try.

I'm very sorry! Christine must be heartbroken. This one hits close to
home, because something very much like this almost happened to Smudge a
couple of years ago.

As far as I know, there are leash laws everywhere in the USA, so loose
dogs are illegal to begin with. Dogs that kill small animals might be
considered a danger to humans - at least to small humans such as children,
as Dan pointed out.

Are you reluctant to call Animal Control? I don't know if the dogs
would be put down after something like this. But the people might be
fined and warned, and then they might be more motivated to keep their
dogs restrained.

Purrs for Amy and Christine.
