re: Need to ODB advice. Neighborhood Dog attack. (Thank goodness for security cams)

I don't understand the appeal of having a pet that could harm someone. I just don't see the how or why. If it were me, I would have probably never owned that dog in the first place but if I somehow did, the dog would be put down first thing in the morning. Obviously, that isn't a choice that you can make for the guy, I'm just stating what I'd do if I were HIM.

As for you, I think the advice you've been given above is pretty good. Definitely sleep on it, anger conversations never go the way I intend for them to go. Emotions are high for both of you. The guy is definitely not a horrible human because he ran full speed and tackled the dog. A POS human wouldn't have done that. He may be able to be reasoned with.

But that is a conversation that needs to be had. Whether tomorrow, or mid week, but you need to fully decide where you stand and let him know. Nothing is more important than the safety of your wife and your child. He probably feels the same about his so hopefully that translates to him understanding your decision.

If not, sometimes a man just has to make enemies.
