Another time we had two dogs get into the back yard, pit bulls again, and they killed two of my cats.
Made a call to the Police and dispatcher tried telling me the same thing, that I mentioned in my other post.
Told her the same thing and told her I knew where the dogs lived.
An Officer showed up, with ten minutes again, and he followed me around the corner of the block in his car, to where the dogs were.
The MINUTE he got out of his car, both dogs charged out of the yard and stopped.
Without saying anything, we moved about 15 feet apart and so did both dogs.
I stay focused on the one that singled me out and I could tell by the body language that he was going to attack.
I was next to a truck and took a quick glance to see if there was anything in the back, that I could use as a weapon; but nada.
He kept tensing up and I figured my only chance was to sacrifice my left arm, lifting him off the ground, pin him to the truck bed and choke him to death with my right hand; but all of a sudden, BANG and he took off back into the yard.
Looked over and the Cop had shot the second dog, through it's right eye, when it was about 5 feet from him.
The Officer called it in (shots fired), other cars arrived, I filled out an incident report, and told the field Supervisor that in my opinion, the Cop had no other choice.
The searched and found the other dog, had animal control impound it, and ticketed the owner for having two dangerous animals and allowing them to run loose.
The really sad part is, is that the Officer had to allow the shot dog to just bleed out; because it was no longer a threat and he couldn't shoot it again.
