DOG ATTACK...sort of

This evening Eva & Amariah walked to the Church to make a few copies for Sunday's Nursery lesson (Eva was "invited" to fill in for the teacher...one of us is usually in there anyway, so why not, right?).

When they returned Eva was a bit agitated (a little angry) and said they had to walk all the way to the park then home, because two dogs were loose and barking aggressively.

There was nobody at the Church to get the copies done, so a little later she went back-and the dogs came at her again aggressively. So when she got home she called Animal control...apparently 7pm is after hours for them too, and the calls aren't forwarded to anyone...so we called the POLICE.

After waiting 20-30 minutes (max) I got in our truck (with a camera :) and drove down to the dogs and they came out of the yard barking at me in the truck...see the photos? Well that's when the cop car pulled up behind me.

The police officer was talking on the phone and rolled down his window (as did I) and I heard him say "Oh, I see the problem now." as the larger dog started barking at him. He hung up the phone and hit his sirens (startling the dog of course) and I said it was my wife who called, he responded that it must have been Eva on the phone & that he'd contact the owners or get the Animal control truck.

So right now there are two police cars (one maybe the animal control truck) parked down the street...maybe the dogs weren't dangerous, but we don't know these dogs, and we've got little kids...feel free to risk you own kids with strange dogs, we'll pass on that little gamble.


Anyone know what happens when a dog bites you? According to someone I work with who was bit 10-11 months ago, your lip gets torn, you get a few stiches and then $40,000 from the home owners insurance of the dog's owner...I'm just saying...
