Unfortunately I have an unhappy ending to my story about the German Shepard that attacked me and my corgi. Luckily my dog was not involved, but during the Memorial Day holiday week while I was out of town with my dog, the shepard got out again and killed a small mixed chihuaha. The children of the owner of the small dog were playing in the yard with their dog when he attacked. Animal Control came to pick up the dog after the incident and destroyed the animal, and I think cited the owners for negligence... which is exactly what I warned them about when he attacked my dog though no damage was done at that time. I hate to think what those kids had to witness and what it did to them as they are very young, and I shudder to think what could have happened if they would have gotten in the way. I am sorry such a tragedy had to occur, but I am relieved he is gone from the neighborhood. Unfortunately an incident like this further alienates non-dog-owners in the area and makes them even more unfriendly to responsible dog owners and I have seen a change in the neighborhood since the incident.
