I know around here, if you have influence they let you off. When I was a kid, our neighbor's kids (they had like 5 or 6, all boys) would hit our dog (Tink) through the fence with hockey sticks. We called the cops and they came out, but only talked to the neighbor, and since he's in with the village (he's a firefighter, his wife writes for the local newspaper) They got away with it.
Yeah that kind of thing is what worries me. I had a similar situation once. These kids would hit my dogs and throw things at them through/over the fence. The dogs would bark. One day all these people suddenly race INSIDE MY HOUSE and said “your dog bit my baby’s finger off”. I was horrified but....it didn’t seem like my dog would do that. Fortunately the man next door stood up from his porch and said “I know what happened to that baby’s finger...” he led them to the playground across the street. The unsupervised child had stuck his finger in a gym thing and another kid pushed the corresponding bars which chopped off his finger.
I hope I would have the courage to say "people survive strokes with adequate medical care, why can't your best friend?"
When I lived in Ohio, one of the neighbors came at my German Shepherd,,with a pick ax, the dog was in his yard, minding his own business,,,I pulled the shotgun on the neighbor while someone else called the cops,,,neighbor was " high" and out of his mind, he went to jail, cops said nothing to me,,,the dog was ok and even sat by the officers and let them love on him.. my Dad was a deputy sheriff, , may have helped..Yeah that kind of thing is what worries me.

If that man hadn’t been there I’d have lost my dog.
True, they can come back on you for that
Well I have taken others’ pets to the vet 3 times but never have I brought them back without body parts!
No the drama with them is already difficult...
THANK YOU.
